SUMMARY
If you follow the LAN Manager 2.2 release notes instructions for using Microsoft TCP/IP Utilities with Windows for Workgroups, the utilities load correctly, but you get an &quot;Unrecognized command in CONFIG.SYS&quot; error message; if you don't follow them, you get a &quot;Network Modules not loaded&quot; error message.

You can avoid this by using a &quot;Comment&quot; command in CONFIG.SYS.

This workaround works on MS-DOS 5.0.



MORE INFORMATION
The release notes instruct you to place this line in the CONFIG.SYS file:   remdevice=c:\network\protman\protman.dos /i:c:\network where &quot;network&quot; represents the WfW root directory.

This statement generates an error message because &quot;remdevice&quot; is not a valid command for CONFIG.SYS.

The COMMENT statement is used to specify a certain character to indicate a remark line, thus keeping MS-DOS from generating this error message. Instead of adding the &quot;remdevice&quot; line in CONFIG.SYS, use the COMMENT command and add these lines:   COMMENT ! ! c:\network\protman\protman.dos /i:c:\network This information was provided by a LAN Manager user on CompuServe.
