- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q107809
SYMPTOMS
When you run a shared network installation (SETUP /N) of Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11, starting Remote Access Services (RAS) generates the following error:
CAUSE
The above error message is generated when PAD.INF and SWITCH.INF are marked read-only.
WORKAROUND
You may be able to use RAS with a shared Windows for Workgroups installation if only one person on the network attempts to use RAS and you remove the read-only attribute from PAD.INF and SWITCH.INF. (If the shared directory is located on a server, full permissions must also be granted.)
STATUS
RAS was not designed to run under a shared Windows for Workgroups installation. This functionality was not tested by Microsoft and is not supported.
