The Windows NT Server version 3.5 CD contains updated modules for Windows for Workgroups version 3.11. The files are located in the \CLIENTS\WFW\UPDATE directory. These updated modules address specific problems related to the NWLink/NWBLink protocol and provide the following:


 * Support for named pipes over direct host IPX
 * Performance enhancements to direct host IPX
 * A fix to prevent browsers from synchronizing and announcing all at once
 * Changes to allow browsing of Windows NT workgroups beyond a single subnet
 * Changes to allow Windows NT Server to screen out older Windows for Workgroups clients trying to connect through direct host IPX

The following lists files in the \CLIENTS\WFW\UPDATE directory on the Windows NT Server version 3.5 CD:

   Name           Size            Date -  NDIS.386        27,846 Bytes   9/4/94 NET.EXE       450,262 Bytes   9/4/94 NETAPI.DLL    109,120 Bytes   9/4/94 NWNBLINK.386   37,964 Bytes   9/4/94 VNETSUP.386    14,647 Bytes   9/4/94 VREDIR.386     85,746 Bytes   9/4/94

To apply these updated modules, use the following procedure:


 * 1) Use the RENAME command from Command Prompt or the Rename option from the File menu in File Manager to rename all the files that will be replaced.
 * 2) Copy NET.EXE and NET.MSG to the root Windows for Workgroups directory (usually WINDOWS). The remaining files should be copied to the SYSTEM sub-directory.
 * 3) Restart the workstation.

NOTE: The Windows NT Server version 4.0 CD also includes the following files and they are located in the Clients\Update.WFW directory:   Name           Size            Date -  NET.MSG         76,245 Bytes   8/9/96 VDHCP.386      24,785 Bytes   8/9/96 VNBT.386       89,545 Bytes   8/9/96 VSERVER.386   101,566 Bytes   8/9/96
