Using WinLogin with 3Com 3+Share

Q90709



The information in this article applies to:


  • Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11
  • Microsoft WinLogin, version 1.0





SUMMARY

When running WinLogin 1.0 with 3Com 3+Share, you may encounter problems when multiple users attempt to access WinLogin's database. To resolve this problem, increase the number of concurrent file range locks supported by the server.



MORE INFORMATION

When multiple users attempt to access WinLogin's database, the following error messages may occur:

Error opening the database

Error initializing the database

Error accessing <one of the tables; user, group, wksta>

Increasing the number of concurrent file range locks supported by the server solves this problem. Increasing the range locks is done through the 3Com Optimization program called "3OPT". This program is located in the 3Com server directory structure. Once you are in this program, one of the screens will be the "Byte Range Locks" for the different services. This is where the actual change needs to be done. A system administrator needs to know how this should be done as well as what to increase it to because there are different scenarios that will be dealt with, such as memory, services available, and so on.
