No Network Services if Real Mode Redirector Started (93252)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
This article was previously published under Q93252 SYMPTOMS
You can start the real mode redirector before Windows for Workgroups
by typing any of the following at the MS-DOS command prompt:
net start workstation
net start full
net start basic
After starting Windows for Workgroups, you cannot connect to or enable
your own shared resources. If you then disable the real mode
redirector by typing net stop at an MS-DOS
command prompt, you can enable resource sharing. However, you still
cannot connect to other computers on your Windows for Workgroups
network. If you try, the following error message is displayed:
The Windows for Workgroups network cannot be started. Run the Setup
program again to correctly configure Windows for Workgroups.
CAUSE
If you load the real mode redirector before starting Windows for
Workgroups, the protect mode redirector, VREDIR.386, does not start.
However, VSERVER.386, the resource sharing driver, does load. This is
why, after stopping the real mode redirector, some network services
are available.
WORKAROUND
To enable all network services, you must exit Windows for Workgroups,
make sure the real mode redirector is stopped, and then restart
Windowsfor Workgroups.
