SYMPTOMS
========

The following four problems occur with the Client Configuration tool in the SNA
Server Windows NT client, version 4.0:

- When you select IPX as the transport with the SNA Server Windows NT client,
  the following choices are available on the Client Mode tab during the
  client's initial installation:
   - Client locates servers in an SNA Server subdomain

   - Client locates servers by name

  However, if you select IPX as the transport in the SNA Server Windows NT
  Client Configuration tool (Ntconfig.exe) after installation, the only option
  under Client Mode is:

  Client locates servers in an SNA Server subdomain

- When you click OK to exit the SNA Server Windows NT client Configuration tool
  (Ntconfig.exe), Ntconfig.exe indicates that SNABASE needs to be restarted
  even if no changes have been made to the configuration.

- On the Client Mode tab in Ntconfig.exe, if you select "Client locates servers
  in an SNA subdomain" and you do not enter a Subdomain name, the configuration
  is changed to "Client locates server by name" with an empty Server(s) list.

- If Snaver.exe is run against Ntconfig.exe, the SNA Server Version Info dialog
  box displays the following:

  NTCONFIG.EXE
  Version 4.0.0.500
  NTCONFIG Version 1.0

STATUS
