SYMPTOMS
========

The setup procedure of the TCP/IP stack for Windows for Workgroups 3.11 to
Workgroups Add-On version 3.11 does not prompt for the default gateway, IP
address, and Subnet mask. As a result, TCP/IP stack fails to load.

RESOLUTION
==========

After setup of TCP/IP is complete, do the following:

1. Add the following three lines to the [TCPIP] section of the PROTOCOL.INI
  file:

     DefaultGateway0= <default gateway address>
     SubnetMask0= <subnet mask>
     IPAddress0= <IP address>

  NOTE: Each octet above must be separated by a space.

2. Save the PROTOCOL.INI file and reboot the workstation.
