Erratic Behavior with Enhanced Mode Windows and LANtastic 4.x (89302)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q89302 SYMPTOMS
Your system may behave erratically while running Windows in 386
enhanced mode while set up for LANtastic 4.x. When you attempt to
access the network, (for example, by clicking on a network drive in
File Manager), the system may stop responding (hang) or exit to the
MS-DOS command prompt.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, make the following changes to the [386Enh]
section of your SYSTEM.INI file:
- Decrease the NetAsynchTimeOut= value from 50 to 5.
- Add the line device=LANTASTI.386
You should also confirm that your LANtastic directory is in your path.
MORE INFORMATION
If you installed the LANtastic 4.x driver that ships with Windows 3.1, then
NetAsynchTimeOut=50 was placed in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI
file. Installing the LANtastic 4.1 driver from the [drive]:\LANTASTI
directory correctly adds NetAsynchTimeOut=5. Changing the NetAsynchTimeOut=
setting from 50 to 5 seems to resolve the erratic problems encountered when
accessing the network.
