Windows for Workgroups "V86ModeLanas" and TCP/IP (100313)
This article was previously published under Q100313
SUMMARY
Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows for Workgroups setup makes several
modifications to the WFWG SYSTEM.INI file. Although the WFWG resource kit
specifies that SYSTEM.INI should contain the line V86ModeLanas=1, this
line is NOT necessary, and is not added by TCP/IP setup.
MORE INFORMATION
When VNetBIOS comes up, it probes for NetBIOS drivers on LANAs 0 through 7.
The default is to use all drivers found, so the V86ModeLana parameter
limits the drivers probed because some old transports answer on all LANAs
even though there is really only one driver on one card.
Because the Microsoft TCP/IP stack correctly uses the LANA number in the
NCB, you should NOT set the V86ModeLana parameter.
