DOCUMENT:Q107583 14-OCT-1999 [win3x] TITLE :No Servers If Real-Mode Redirector Started Before WFWG 3.11 PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows 3.x Retail Product PROD/VER:WINDOWS:3.11 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= Server functionality is not available in Windows for Workgroups 3.11 if the real-mode redirector is started before Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is started. This behavior differs from that of version 3.1, which does support running the protected-mode server over the real-mode redirector. MORE INFORMATION ================ The behavior is different because Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is using a new protected-mode installable file system manager (IFSHLP.SYS) that does not work with the real-mode redirector. You must use the NET STOP WORKSTATION command before you start Windows for Workgroups. (This also saves conventional memory.) Additional query words: 3.11 net start full realmode share as not available cannot missing ====================================================================== Keywords : Technology : kbAudDeveloper kbWFWSearch kbWFW311 Version : WINDOWS:3.11 ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
