Most recent fixes:
Problem Report Number: T03904
LANCHECK does not report CRC, Alignment, or Collision errors when running
over AI-NDIS.
Fixed in AI-NDIS.EXE v2.16.05.
Please note that these statistics are only available and reported for
logical adapter 0. This is the same version of AI-NDIS that was shipped
with LANtastic PowerSuite (6.10) and LANtastic 7.0.
Problem Report Number: T14162
LANtastic computers in a mixed DOS and Windows 95 (or LANDS) environment
may be intermittently disconnected from each other. It is extremely
important that any and all earlier versions of AILANBIO.EXE on all DOS
machines be replaced with this version as the problem is caused by a DOS
machine other than the one that reports the error.
Fixed in AILANBIO.EXE v4.07.02.

=============================================================================
Problem Report Number: T02301
When a laptop connects to the network via LDU and a Central Station and
runs a local copy of Windows 3.x, the connection is intermittently broken.
Fixed in MPORT.EXE v4.03.03.
Problem Report Number: T05718
Intermittently the error "Cannot locate network name" is displayed when
attempting to login to LANtastic servers.
Fixed in AILANBIO.EXE v4.06.15.
Problem Report Number: T06329
The NDIS driver for IBM Token Ring adapters does not provide its own stack.
This can cause a server to hang if foreground operations are attempted
during network activity. Use the new STACK= switch to create a stack.
Fixed in AI-NDIS.EXE v2.16.02.
Problem Report Number: T07623
License timeout messages when there should still be available license
slots. You will also need the new REDIR/SERVER programs (in NOS600.EXE for
LANtastic 6.0 users) for the new licensing algorithm. LANtastic 6.10 and
above does not experience this issue.
LANtastic 6.0 users, please also download and apply patch NOS600.EXE, as
part of the fix is in REDIR.EXE.
Fixed in AILANBIO.EXE v4.06.15.
Problem Report Number: T07630
If you are using SMB client support, the NETBEUI program was not included
in the LANtastic 6.0 distribution. We have included Microsoft's NETBEUI
in this NTBDOS.EXE file. The new version is dated 6/28/93 and of size
33,232 bytes.
Problem Report Number: T07663
FFRPL.EXE does not function on a 2nd network adapter. All nodes on 2nd adapter
are unable to find FFRPL server, while non-remote-boot stations have access to
the server without difficulty.
Fixed in AILANBIO.EXE v4.06.15.
Problem Report Number: T07799
A machine running LANtastic using ODI low-level drivers with
AI-NDIS using /IEEE and AILANBIO using /IPX_ROUTING switches
will not be able to communicate with another LANtastic machine that
is also using /IEEE and /IPX_ROUTING.
Fixed in AI-ODI.EXE v1.00.07. Please read AI-ODI.TXT for details.
Problem Report Number: T08012

RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
****************************************************************************
Make a backup copy of any existing AILANBIO.EXE, AI-NDIS.EXE, MPORT.EXE,
AI-ODI.EXE, and NETBEUI.EXE programs. If present, they would reside in your
LANtastic network directory (by default, this directory is C:\LANTASTI).
After backing up your original files, Run the self-extracting compressed file
NTBDOS.EXE in the directory where LANtastic is installed. Be sure to read
the NTBDOS.TXT file carefully for any special instructions relating to your
environment.
Reboot the machine afterwards so that the new programs will be loaded.
Repeat this procedure on *all* LANtastic 6.x and 7.0 DOS/Windows 3.x machines
on the network. Do not use this patch on a Windows 95 system as the programs
are not applicable.
IMPORTANT: Be sure you are running the same version of AILANBIO.EXE on
every node on the network. Also, if using the NO_MULTICAST switch, it must
be used on *all* machines on the network as well.
If you have any difficulties, please contact Artisoft Technical Support at
