SYMPTOMS
========

SNA Server unexpectedly logs the following event in the Windows NT application
event log:

  Event ID: 3
  Source: SNA Server
  Description: (1106) Node Configuration Error
  Subcode Information
  X'1106' Configuration file is corrupted.

When this occurs, the SNA Server service will end, and an Event ID 624 is logged,
indicating that an SNADump.log has been created.

CAUSE
=====

This problem can occur if an Advanced Program-to-Program Communications (APPC)
or Common Programming Interface for Communications (CPIC) application attempts
to allocate a conversation (by calling [MC_]ALLOCATE or CMALLC), and specifies
an APPC mode name which is not configured in SNA Server.

RESOLUTION
==========

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 4.0 and 4.0
Service Pack 1. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 4.0
U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the
