  • Apply the SNA Server 2.11 Windows 3.x hotfix, or upgrade the Windows 3.x client to SNA Server 3.0, and add the following entry in the [wnap] section of the win.ini:

    211ResLoc=Yes


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 2.11 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and in version 3.0.
