Installing Locator Service with LAN Man 2.1 3Com Upgrade (92399)
This article was previously published under Q92399
SUMMARY
If you are installing the "LM 2.1 Upgrade Tape (Gosling) for 3Com
3Servers," follow the instructions in the "Microsoft LAN Manager
Installation and Configuration Guide for 3Servers." During the
installation routine, you will be asked if you want to install the
Locator Service on their 3Server. If you weren't previously running
XNS, you must say YES. If you have the XNS protocol running on your
network before installing Gosling, you are running the locator service
on some machine and thus should NOT answer YES.
MORE INFORMATION
Step 8 on pages 3-4 and 3-5 of the Installation and Configuration
Guide appears to ask you whether or not you want the Locator Service.
If your network doesn't use XNS, you may erroneously choose NO to
answer the question. This will result in the installation completing
successfully. However, when you try to reboot, you will receive the
error message "network busy" because there is no locator. (The
installation procedure requires XNS, and it will be put on the system
by default.)
The documentation should stress that even if you aren't using XNS on
any other machines, it will be installed by default. You must choose
YES in step 8. Once the installation is complete and the server is
rebooted, you must remove XNS AND the Locator Service.
