-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

After you install Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11, you cannot
access your Novell NetWare servers using IPXODI.

CAUSE
=====

If you are not using a NET.CFG file with the Novell IPXODI stack, Windows for
Workgroups Setup creates one and places it in the Windows directory. In order
for the contents of the NET.CFG file to be read, it must be located in the same
subdirectory as LSL.COM.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups version
3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION
==========

To correct this problem, move the NET.CFG file to the same directory in which
the Novell LSL.COM file resides and then update your PROTOCOL.INI file. To
update PROTOCOL.INI:

- Use a text editor to change the PATH= line in the [net.cfg] section of your
  PROTOCOL.INI file, which is located in your Windows directory, to specify the
  new location of NET.CFG. For example, if NET.CFG and LSL.COM are located in
  the C:\NOVELL directory, the [net.cfg] section should read as follows:

        [net.cfg]
        PATH=C:\NOVELL\NET.CFG
