SYMPTOMS
If you have a NetWare, "WFWNET," and LAN Manager connection on a Windows
for Workgroups 3.11 computer, the Program Group Control (PGC) is unable to
find a server.
CAUSE
APPCTL16.EXE and APPSTART.EXE cannot call NWGetDriveStatus in SMSNETNW.DLL
to enumerate the drive connections that exist. It starts with the lowest
letter, which is a LAN Manager or "WFWNET" connection. This returns error
code 18, which causes the symptom mentioned above.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, remove the LAN Manager or "WFWNET" connection.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.1. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management Server
version 1.2.
