SYMPTOMS
If you run the SNA Server 2.1 5250 applet, and the 5250 Session/Autoconnect switch is enabled, the following problems can occur:  When connecting over any SNA Server client-server interface that requires a user logon (TCP/IP sockets, NetWare IPX/SPX, or Banyan IP):

 The session does not automatically activate. Connecting the session resulting in the Interface Not Found" error message. The following error message appears when you quit the 5250 applet:

SNASRV caused a General Protection Fault in module SNASRV.EXE at 0001:0589

 When the SNA client login fails and you select Close, the client machine stops responding (hang).  When connecting over the SNA Server client-server named pipes interface, if WNAP fails to start due to a 629 or 546 error (where the client cannot find or connect to an SNA Server), the following error appears:

TP Started verb has completed with primary

return code Unexpected DOS Error:

Primary Return Code = F011

Secondary Return Code = 08000000

</li></ul>

CAUSE
The SNA Server 5250 applet does not wait long enough for the underlying SNA client module (WNAP) to initialize, and then fails to work properly when WNAP fails to initialize.

<div class="resolution_section">

RESOLUTION
To workaround this problem in SNA Server version 2.1, configure WNAP to start before the 5250 applet is started. To do this, add a WNAP.EXE icon to the Windows or Windows for Workgroups Startup group.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 2.1. This problem was corrected in SNA Server version 2.11.
