APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Standard Edition
This article was previously published under Q168064
SYMPTOMS
When you try to install point to point tunneling protocol (PPTP), it does
not appear as an installable protocol in the Network Control Panel on
Microchannel computers.
CAUSE
Windows NT operating system components can be installed based on bus type.
In this case, MCA is not listed as a supported bus architecture in the
[PlatformsSupported] section of Oemnxppp.inf.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem open the Oemnxppp.inf file (located in the
%Systemroot%\System32 directory). In the [PlatformsSupported] section, add
MCA. Another resolution is to delete the [PlatformsSupported] section
entirely.
See Example:
Before:
[PlatformsSupported]
ISA
EISA
"JAZZ-INTERNAL BUS"
After:
[PlatformsSupported]
MCA
ISA
EISA
"JAZZ-INTERNAL BUS"
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Server version
4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
