KEYWORDS:

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft SNA Server, version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The following four problems occur with the Client Configuration tool in the SNA
Server Windows NT client, version 4.0:

 - When you select IPX as the transport with the SNA Server Windows NT client,
   the following choices are available on the Client Mode tab during the
   client's initial installation:
    - Client locates servers in an SNA Server subdomain

    - Client locates servers by name

   However, if you select IPX as the transport in the SNA Server Windows NT
   Client Configuration tool (Ntconfig.exe) after installation, the only option
   under Client Mode is:

   Client locates servers in an SNA Server subdomain

 - When you click OK to exit the SNA Server Windows NT client Configuration tool
   (Ntconfig.exe), Ntconfig.exe indicates that SNABASE needs to be restarted
   even if no changes have been made to the configuration.

 - On the Client Mode tab in Ntconfig.exe, if you select "Client locates servers
   in an SNA subdomain" and you do not enter a Subdomain name, the configuration
   is changed to "Client locates server by name" with an empty Server(s) list.

 - If Snaver.exe is run against Ntconfig.exe, the SNA Server Version Info dialog
   box displays the following:

   NTCONFIG.EXE
   Version 4.0.0.500
   NTCONFIG Version 1.0

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 4.0. This
problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 4.0 U.S. Service Pack.
