Article: Q171933
Product(s): Microsoft SNA Server
Version(s): WINDOWS:3.0,3.0 SP1
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kbnetwork
Last Modified: 01-APR-2000

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft SNA Server, versions 3.0, 3.0 SP1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

When you run APPC applications which use APPC modes, the applications still seem
to be handled with the same priority regardless of whether the High Priority
check box is selected.

CAUSE
=====

The SNA Server 3.0 Manager program saves the APPC mode parameter incorrectly,
which causes the High Priority parameter to be ignored by SNA Server.


RESOLUTION
==========

There is no workaround for this problem. A hotfix to SNA Server 3.0 (post SP1)
is available to correct this problem. The updated module is Snacfg.dll.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server 3.0 and 3.0 Service
Pack 1 (SP1). This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 3.0
U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the
