-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

If you install Windows for Workgroups on a machine that was once an IBM OS/2 Lan
Server client, you may receive a "Netbind" error followed by an "Undefined
Dynalink" error when you start Windows for Workgroups.

CAUSE
=====

These errors indicate that there are still IBM Lan Server drivers in the
CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.

RESOLUTION
==========

The following lines need to be removed or remarked out (using REM) from the
CONFIG.SYS file:

- Any lines that reference PROTMAN.EXE (Windows for Workgroups uses
  PROTMAN.DOS)

- Any lines that reference DXMEOMOD.SYS

In the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, any reference to the Lan Server software directory in
the PATH= statement should be removed.
