TITLE   :PRB: Network DDE Logs NetBIOS Failure Events During Setup
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

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

 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When Network dynamic-data exchange (DDE) starts, it logs the following
two events into the event log when Windows NT Setup runs:

   204, NetDDE: Attempt to determine the number of Lananums failed.
   13, NetDDE: Initialization of NETBIOS DLL failed.

These events occur only once during setup.

CAUSE
=====

Windows NT Setup is running and appropriate network software is not
installed. These messages are normal and do not indicate any problems
with the installation. Network DDE runs without regard to the network
running because Network DDE-aware applications, such as Clipbook Viewer
and Clipbook Server, use Network DDE to conduct DDE in a secure
manner.
