Q93441: Microsoft TCP/IP 2.1a with Windows for Workgroups

Article: Q93441
Product(s): Microsoft LAN Manager
Version(s): 
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): 
Last Modified: 30-JUL-2001

SUMMARY
=======

On page E-5 of the Microsoft Windows for Workgroups "Resource Kit" version 3.1
manual, the device driver name in the [ms$tcp] section of the PROTOCOL.INI file
is incorrectly shown in lowercase letters:

[ms$tcp]
 ...
 drivername=tcpip$

The drivername should be uppercase, as follows:

[ms$tcp]
 ...
 drivername=TCPIP$

MORE INFORMATION
================

If you do not use uppercase letters for drivername, TCPDRV.DOS fails to
initialize in CONFIG.SYS, with no explanation.

LAN Manager 2.2 includes a protocol disk in Windows for Workgroups format, so you
can ignore the NDIS transport protocol integration procedure described in the
"Microsoft Windows for Workgroups Resource Kit."
