The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

Server functionality is not available in Windows for Workgroups 3.11 if the
real-mode redirector is started before Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is started.
This behavior differs from that of version 3.1, which does support running the
protected-mode server over the real-mode redirector.

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

The behavior is different because Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is using a new
protected-mode installable file system manager (IFSHLP.SYS) that does not work
with the real-mode redirector. You must use the NET STOP WORKSTATION command
before you start Windows for Workgroups. (This also saves conventional memory.)

Additional query words: 3.11 net start full realmode share as not available cannot missing
