MS TCP/IP Does Not Load with ODINSUP on Token Ring (108660)
This article was previously published under Q108660
SYMPTOMS
On a LAN Manager 2.2 enhanced MS-DOS workstation under Windows for
Workgroups 3.1 or 3.11, trying to load Microsoft TCP/IP on top of a Novell
Netware ODI MLID and ODINSUP fails with this error:
Unloadable TCP 1.0 not loaded
Microsoft NetBEUI loads and functions in this configuration.
CAUSE
TCP/IP issues an OpenAdapter NDIS call to determine if a token ring
network card is available and functional. If this call fails, TCP/IP
fails to load.
Novell's ODINSUP NDIS support layer for ODI drivers does not provide
support for the OpenAdapter call. Instead it performs its own adapter
initialization and sets bit 4 of the MAC status table's flag field to
indicate that the adapter is already open.
RESOLUTION
The TCPTSR driver was changed so that it does not attempt an OpenAdapter
NDIS call until it checks bit 4 of the MAC Service Specific Status Table
to see if the adapter is already open. This fix is available as CSD00.071.
