SYMPTOMS
If you try to run ftp from the LAN Manager TCP/IP Utilities from a remote boot workstation, you get this error :

&quot;Network Modules Not Loaded&quot;

even if all modules required for ftp have been loaded.



CAUSE
The ftp utility needs two TSRs to be loaded before you execute it: nmtsr.exe, sockets.exe. Run Nmtsr.exe and Sockets.exe after you configure the remoteboot workstation with the TCP/IP protocol

Now, to run ftp you must add this line to Config.sys :

remdevice=c:\ \protman\protman.dos /i:c:\

DO NOT insert a space in REMDEVICE. This line generates the error &quot;Unrecognized command in config.sys,&quot; but allows ftp to function.

You can also use the Config.sys COMMENT command to allow ftp to function without generating an error in Config.sys. Add this entry:

COMMENT !

! c:\ \protman\protman.dos /i:c:\

Additional query words: wfw wfwg 2.20 remoteboot rpl remote boot tcpip utilities fail ftp.exe ftp
