SYMPTOMS
After you install MSDLC on Windows for Workgroups version 3.11, the following error message may occur during startup:
WORKAROUND
In the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, make sure that Net Initialize or Net Init command loads before MSDLC.EXE. Net Init command basically loads the protocol manager in the memory without binding it to the MAC (Media Access Control) driver. The following is a sample AUTOEXEC.BAT illustrating the correct load order:
C:\WFW311\net init C:\WFW311\msdlc C:\WFW311\net start
MORE INFORMATION
MSDLC is an NDIS2-compliant protocol which requires Protocol Manager to be loaded in memory before it can bind to an NDIS MAC driver. If MSDLC doesn't find the Protocol Manager in the memory, the above error message occurs.
