    NETPORTEXPRESS(TM) PRINT SERVER: PROBLEM LAUNCHING NETPORT(R) MANAGER

    
       Symptom
    
       When double-clicking on the Netport(R) Manager icon, Netport Manager
    
       fails to launch with one of the following messages: 
    
    
    
            IPX initialization failed
    
            No Lan Manager or Lan Server server found running the Intel Netport
    
       Monitor 
    
            Program terminating
    
            Cannot find NETWARE.DLL
    
            Application Error; Call to Undefined Dynalink
    
    
    
       Description
    
       These errors can be traced to the down-revved network drivers on the
    
       Windows workstation.
    
    
    
       Solution
    
       Ensure that you have the following versions of the drivers loaded.
    
    
    
       Note:  We recommend running ODI and VLMs:
    
    
    
            IPXODI.COM, v2.12 or higher
    
            LSL.COM, v2.05 or higher
    
            VLM.EXE, v1.10 or higher
    
            IPX.COM , v3.10 or higher
    
            NETX.EXE, v3.26 or higher 
    
    
    
       In the SYSTEM.INI file, in the [386Enh] section, the Network=line must
    
       include VIPX.386.  The VIPX.386 file should be dated 11/19/93 or newer.
    
    
    
       If using VLMs, ensure that the NETX.VLM is loaded. the "Call to
    
       Undefined Dynalink" error usually occurs when you log in to the network
    
       with VLMs, with NETX drivers selected in Windows Setup.
    
    
    
       For Windows 3.1, ensure that the Windows setup has been set for the
    
       appropriate network operating system.  Depending on the network
    
       operating system you are running, you will need to select  either Novel
    
       NetWare, Microsoft LAN Manager, or IBM OS/2 LAN Server*.  This is done
    
       by double-clicking on the Windows Setup icon in the Main Program Group
    
       and selecting Options.
    
    
    
       Ensure that the following files are located in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM
    
       directory only.  They should NOT be in the WINDOWS directory:
    
    
    
            PMSPL.DLL 
    
            NETAPI.DLL 
    
            NWLOCALE.DLL 
    
            NWNET.DLL 
    
            NWIPXSPX.DLL 
    
            NWPSRV.DLL 
    
            NWCALLS.DLL 
    
            NWGDI.DLL 
    
            NWNETAPI.DLL 
    
    
    
       Windows for Workgroups 3.11 works in a restricted configuration. Netport
    
       Manager uses Novell's NWIPXSPX.DLL file, which conflicts with the
    
       Windows for Workgroups 32-bit IPX interface.  To remove the conflicting
    
       IPX interface:
    
    
    
            1)  Run "Network Setup" from Program Manager. 
    
    
    
            2)  Click on the Drivers button. 
    
    
    
            3)  Highlight the "IPX/SPX Compatible Transport" line.
    
    
    
            4)  Click on the Remove button.  
    
    
    
            5)  Click the OK button and restart Windows.
    
    
    
       In addition to turning off the "IPX/SPX Compatible Transport" line,
    
       Intel suggests adding the following lines to the beginning of your
    
       NET.CFG file:
    
    
    
            IPX Sockets = 50
    
            SPX Connections = 40
    
    
    
       If the above lines already exist in your NET.CFG file, increase their
    
       values to match the example.
    
    
    
       Removing this driver will not affect the performance of the network
    
       unless you are using an internal router.  If you are using an internal
    
       router, the Windows for Workgroups functions will not be available
    
       across the router.
    
    
    
       Novell's most recent driver releases are included in these four files:
    
    
    
             WINDRX.EXE
    
            VLMUPX.EXE
    
            NWDLLX.EXE
    
            NET33X.EXE.  
    
    
    
       These files can be found on NetWire (Go Novfiles), or on Novell*s FTP
    
       server (ftp.novel.com).
