201.0. "Digtial Network Port print problem" by VMSNET::FARLOW_J () Wed Apr 02 1997 12:51

    
    This is actually a rehash of notes 74 and 132 but there was no real
    solution so here it goes again:
    
    When upgrading from NT 3.51 and pathworks 4.1b (to NT 4.0 and pathworks
    32) printing to an lps17 (network printserver) no longer works.  
    
    Using the following setup; Add Printer->My Computer->Add Port->Digital
    Network Port(click twice on this)->DECnet (this is when the error below
    appears) and you can finish the setup but of course it does not work.
    
        The DECnet protocol is not currently available.
        You may configure the port for DECnet, but the port will not operate.
    
    Is this due to the new Winsock 2 complaint DECnet component and the
    checks for DECnet used by the Digital Network Port being done via some
    old method.
    
    Customer says they reported this in Field Test for Pathworks 32 and was 
    told that nobody else had this problem and it was never fixed.  I was 
    able to reproduce here at the CSC and will be excalating if no
    response. 
    
    Thanks in advance...

201.1VMSNET::N_WILKINSON16 bit? We don't need no stinkin' 16 bit!Wed Apr 16 1997 11:045
WIN95 has the same problem with pw/win95 v1.0/1.0a.  I was told then is was a
Microsoft problem since they provide the Printserver software with WIN95 and NT
and it does not recognize that DECnet is installed.
