The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS, version 3.11 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

After you install Microsoft Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS with TCP/IP, the
following message appears on startup:

  Error 7361:
  IPX or NetBIOS must be running in order to load the network services.

CAUSE
=====

This message appears when the protocols and network adapter drivers have not
been bound because there is a configuration error in PROTOCOL.INI and
AUTOEXEC.BAT.

RESOLUTION
==========

Modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT and PROTOCOL.INI files to properly bind TCP/IP to the
network card.

Before you begin, you need the latest Real Mode Microsoft TCP/IP driver. For more
information about downloading the file WFWTCP.EXE from any of Microsoft's
electronic services, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base:

  Q112578 Creating a Setup Disk for the Updated WFW 3.11 TCP/IP Drivers

When you have downloaded this file, run WFWTCP.EXE on a blank floppy disk to
extract the necessary files.

Setup Instructions
------------------

1. Start Setup for the Microsoft Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS and during Setup,
  select Other Protocol, specifying the path to where you have extracted the
  files in WFWTCP.EXE (for example, A:\).

2. When you have completed Setup (the message "Workgroup Add-On is now installed
  on your computer" appears), press F3 to quit Setup.

3. Edit C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT. It should contain, in order, the following lines:

     C:\WRKGRP.DOS\net start NETBIND   (previously just NET START)
     C:\WRKGRP.DOS\umb
     C:\WRKGRP.DOS\tcptsr
     C:\WRKGRP.DOS\tinyrfc
     C:\WRKGRP.DOS\nmtsr.exe
     C:\WRKGRP.DOS\emsbfr.exe
     C:\WRKGRP.DOS\NET START   (you must add this line)

4. Edit PROTOCOL.INI from the path where you installed Microsoft Workgroup
  Add-On for MS-DOS. It should contain the following lines. Your own IP Address
  information will likely be different.

     [protman]
     DriverName=PROTMAN$
     PRIORITY=TCPIP   (Changed from =MS$NDISHLP)

     [TCPIP]
     DefaultGateway0=22 101 0 1   (you must add this line)
     SubnetMask0=255 255 0 0      (you must add this line)
     IPAddress0=22 101 47 173     (you must add this line)
     NBSessions=6                 (you must add this line)
     NetFiles=C:\WRKGRP.DOS       (you must add this line)

5. To ensure that sockets support is configured correctly, edit the TCPUTILS.INI
  file from the path where you installed Microsoft Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS.
  It should contain the following entries as well as what is there by default.

     [TCPGLOBAL]
     username=<username>   (supply the user name for <username>)
     NetFiles=<path>       (supply the path for <path>, i.e. c:\net)
     hostname=<hostname>   (supply the host name for this computer
                           for <hostname>)
     drivername=GLOBAL$

6. Save the changes to AUTOEXEC.BAT, PROTOCOL.INI, and TCPUTILS.INI and restart
  the computer.

Example Files
-------------

Please note that your directory structure, network card, and IP addresses will
differ from those listed here. These files were created on a PC using an Intel
EtherExpress 16/16TP running MS-DOS version 6.2 and the Microsoft Workgroup
Add-On for MS-DOS, version 3.11, with Microsoft TCP/IP as the only protocol.

Example CONFIG.SYS

Example AUTOEXEC.BAT

  C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE
  @ECHO OFF
  PROMPT $p$g

the error "Internal Error 1" will result.
