SYMPTOMS
An SNA client may attempt to connect to SNA Server running on a distributed link server, even though the distributed link server is running in a different SNA Server subdomain.

There may be no observable problem from the client computer. However, if the distributed link server can't be reached, the client may experience a long delay when opening a 3270 or APPC session. This could occur if the client's sponsor server is connecting through a distributed link.



CAUSE
The SnaBase service supporting a client's sponsor session is incorrectly advertising the name of the distributed link server to the client computer. This can cause the client to attempt to connect to the distributed link server when opening a 3270 or APPC session.



RESOLUTION
An update is available for SNA Server 2.11 SP1 and 3.0. The updated modules are: Snadmod.dll and Snareg.dll; both are located in \system.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 2.11 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and 3.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server version 2.11 and 3.0 U.S. Service Packs.
