SYMPTOMS

When you run SNA Server Win3.x Client Setup the following error message appears:
No Windows network Installed

CAUSE

Setup has failed to detect your network.

MORE INFORMATION

SNA Server Win3.x Client Setup uses the following methods to check for various LAN interfaces on Win3.x clients:

Named Pipes

If you are running Windows for Workgroups, Setup checks the SYSTEM.INI file for the following:
   [boot]
   ...
   network.drv=wfwnet.drv
				
If you are running Microsoft LAN Manager or IBM LAN Requester, Setup looks for LANMAN.INI or DOSLAN.INI, respectively. If both are found, Setup uses the LANMAN.INI file. If either is found, Setup loads NETAPI.DLL and calls NetWkstaGetInfo() to get the version information.

NetWare IPX/SPX

Setup calls LoadLibrary( "nwipxspx.dll" ). If that fails, Setup calls LoadLibrary( "a:\nwipxspx.dll" ). If that succeeds, Setup tries to call SPXInitialize() in that library. SPXInitialize call fails if SPX is disabled. Some users disable SPX for memory savings. The IPXODI /A command eliminates SPX support, causing the error message to appear even if NWIPXSPX.DLL is installed.

TCP/IP Sockets

NOTE: The following text does not apply to SNA Server version 2.0 as it does not include support for TCP/IP sockets.

Setup calls into WINSOCK.DLL to check for its presence. It needs to support Windows Sockets version 1.1.

Banyan IP

NOTE: The following text does not apply to SNA Server version 2.0 as it does not include support for Banyan IP.

Setup calls LoadLibrary( "VNSAPI.DLL" ). If that succeeds, Setup considers Banyan to be installed. Setup then calls VnsGetUserName() from that library to get the default StreetTalk group name.
