3COM: Installation Stops If There Is a Space in Server Name (104373)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Gateway to 3Com 3+Mail 1.0
This article was previously published under Q104373 SYMPTOMS
Version 1.0 of the Microsoft Mail Gateway to 3Com installation process
prompts you for the three-part 3Com XNS name for the mail server used
on your network. If you have added a legal space in the name portion
of the three-part name, the installation process stops.
NOTE: The installation may not provide an error message; it may simply
stop installing the gateway.
CAUSE
A space is a legal character in a 3Com XNS name, but the installation
program does not handle the space correctly.
RESOLUTION
Add an alias to the three-part 3Com XNS name for a server that does
NOT contain a space in its name, then reinstall the gateway.
After installing the gateway, you can remove the 3Com alias and edit
the GATEWAY.INI file with the correct name.
NOTE: To add an alias, use the 3Com 3N.EXE utility and use the ADD
ALIAS option. Make sure the alias you add does NOT contain any spaces
in its name.
