SYMPTOMS
After you install and configure an SNA Server 802.2 DLC link service using an IBM LANStreamer PCI Token Ring adapter, the 802.2 connection appears as Ethernet in the SNA Server Admin program. However, the LANStreamer adapter functions properly in the token ring network.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if the MediaType registry entry for the IBM LANStreamer PCI Token Ring adapter is set to 1 (Ethernet) during the installation of the SNA Server 802.2 DLC link service. This value is used by SNA Server Setup and is passed to the SNA Admin program.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

140149 SNA 802.2 Connection Icon Indicates Incorrect Network Type



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
