When you run Windows for Workgroups 3.11 with the IPX/SPX Compatible
Transport, the following error message appears when you run applications:

  SMB Error (17) Working...

This error occurs when you use Windows for Workgroups Direct Hosting over
IPX in a Windows NT environment. This error is an indication the
application on the server side has received the request and is in the act
of processing it. This is a normal occurrence and is not an indication of a
problem.
