The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SQL Server 4.2x
This article was previously published under Q86583 SYMPTOMS
If you click the icon for starting SQL Administrator for Windows,
you may receive the following error message:
The network has not been started, cannot continue.
This problem occurs more often on Novell networks.
CAUSE
SQL Administrator for Windows can not find the correct version of a file
called NETAPI.DLL on the workstation.
WORKAROUND
Make sure that the correct NETAPI.DLL file is on your computer. For Windows
clients on Novell networks, this file (with a size of 7168 bytes) can be
found on the Novell NetWare OS/2 Requester disk under the WINDOWS.NP
subdirectory. The latest version of this file is dated 6-24-91 and is part
of the Novell OS/2 Requester.
If you find any other versions of this file (with different sizes and
dates) on your computer, rename or remove them and also reboot your
computer to ensure that the correct NETAPI.DLL is loaded in memory.
