Patch4 IBM X.25 Link Service Doesn’t Accept 8 Char Device Name

PSS ID Number: Q107220 Article last modified on 04-23-1996

2.00

WINDOWS



The information in this article applies to:

  • == Microsoft SNA Server for Windows NT, version 2.0 ==

SYMPTOMS

Any SDLC device driver that exports an eight-character device driver name does not work with the SNA Server IBM X.25 Link Service.

RESOLUTION

The SYSTEM25.DLL module has been updated and is available on the MSSNA forum on CompuServe.

To install the updated module on the SNA Server machine, do the following:

  1. From a command prompt, type the following and press ENTER:

    NET STOP SNABASE

    This stops all SNA Server processes on the machine (and forces off all current SNA Server users if entered at the server).

  2. Copy the patched modules to the <SNAroot>and <SNARoot> directories.

  3. Restart the machine by typing the following and pressing ENTER:

    NET START SNABASE
