SYMPTOMS
After installing Microsoft Peer Web Server in Windows NT Workstation
4.0, neither the World Wide Web Publishing service nor the FTP Server
Service may start automatically. In addition, if you attempt to start
these services manually, the following message may be displayed:
Service manager on <COMPUTER NAME> could not start <SERVICE NAME>
Error 0122 the data passed to the system call is too small
CAUSE
This error is caused by having TCP/IP protocols from multiple
manufacturers installed at the same time. Microsoft Peer Web Server
functions only over the Microsoft TCP/IP protocol.
RESOLUTION
The following procedure should allow you to continue to use your own
client for access to your local network.
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-
wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct
them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the
use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.
Use Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) to change the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock\
Parameters\Transports
Move TCP/IP to the top of the transports list. After you make this change,
Restart the computer.
