LAN Man Setup Hangs with Two [tcpip_node] Sections (94063)






This article was previously published under Q94063

SYMPTOMS

After the upgrade from LAN Manager 2.1a to 2.2 has completed, LANMAN.INI has two sections of [tcpip_node]--the first one is left blank and the original one is appended to the end of the file.

CAUSE

The LAN Manager 2.1a Setup program does not fully recognize the section [tcpip_node] in LANMAN.INI.

RESOLUTION

You must remove the blank, first [tcpip_node] section for two reasons:

  • Because it is blank, [tcpip_node] may not initialize correctly due to blank parameters.
  • Two [tcpip_node] sections in LANMAN.INI will hang the Setup program during upgrade after copying all the files from the Drivers 1 disk. The dialog box "Please Wait..." will not disappear.
