SUMMARY
Before you can use the DLC protocol included with the Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2 connectivity disk for Windows for Workgroups, you must do the following:

 Install the DLC protocol. In the SYSTEM.INI [NETWORK] section, add this line:

Exclude=

 In the SYSTEM.INI [386Enh] section, add this line:

V86ModeLanas=

 Save the SYSTEM.INI file and reboot.



MORE INFORMATION
The V86ModeLanas= entry identifies LANA 0 as a real mode protocol stack as used by DLC.

The Exclude= entry informs the redirector and server not to use this LANA number.

DLC doesn't support NCBs, but it uses Int 5C. The above two entries are used to prevent WfW from trying to use the DLC as a NetBIOS stack, which would generate errors.

Note: This information also applies to the Novell stack under WfW.
