SUMMARY
After you install MSDLC on Windows for Workgroups version 3.11, the following error message may appear during the startup process:
MORE INFORMATION
MSDLC is an NDIS2-compliant protocol, which requires Protocol Manager in the memory before it can bind to the NDIS MAC (Medium Access Control) driver. If MSDLC doesn't find the Protocol Manager in the memory, the above error message appears.
In the AUTOEXEC.BAT make sure that Net Initialize or Net Init command comes before the MSDLC. Net Init command basically loads the Protocol Manager in the memory. The following is a sample AUTOEXEC.BAT that shows the correct load order:
C:\wfw311\net init
C:\wfw31\msdlc
C:\WFW31\net start
Or, do a NET START NETBIND before MSDLC.EXE and leave out the NET START:
C:\wfw311\net init
C:\wfw311\net start netbind
C:\wfw311\msdlc
