1554.0. "HW for Windows won't start...." by SCCAT::MILLER () Tue Oct 11 1994 19:50

    After a few iterations of installations, I installed HW for Windows
    X3.1.5 on my 425SE with a Xircom PCMCIA Creditcard adaptor (a full
    install with network).  When I try to start up HW, the cursor changes
    to an hourglass for 2-3 seconds, and then back to a cursor.  No
    messages or actions occur.  IP is up, since I can ping the hub I want
    to get to.  Any ideas as to what this may be???
    
    Also, what steps should be taken to install HW on a laptop that is
    currently running the IP stack from WFW?  I tried to do that first, but
    had no luck getting the two to communicate together.  Cookbook type
    info would be very much appreciated!
    
    Thanks.....

1554.1Get latest kit V3.1.0NETCAD::WAGNERCOFFILWed Oct 12 1994 12:1130

	First of all, get the latest kit V3.1.0.

	Take a look at the README.TXT and RELNOTES(under HELP). There is
	some information about WFW. Make sure you get WFW working with
	the XIRCOM adapter BEFORE installing HUBwatch.

	The problem could be a number of things... 

	Are ALL the enviroment variables set? They are written to
	your AUTOEXEC.BAT during the installation(IF you chose to let
	the installation modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT). 

	Check the HW_MIB.DAT file in your C:\HUBWATCH directory. The 
	date should be August.

	Check conventional memory.

	Check...

1554.3Still no go.....SCCAT::MILLERThu Oct 13 1994 20:189
    Went back to basics, killed Hubwatch, reenabled WFWG TCP/IP (ping,
    telnet, etc. all work fine).  Installed Hubwatch only.  When I run it,
    I get "no response from agent", even though I can ping the address
    and telnet to a t/s in the Hub.  How can I check to see if Hubwatch is
    indeed hooking up with the IP stack?  If it isn't, what has to be done
    to get it to do so?  I prefer the WFWG IP because of the environment I
    run it in (non-Digital, no pathworks, no VMS, etc.).
    
    Thanks.....

    Try this,
    
    Look in the system.ini if DECPW.386 is included in NETWORK= . If not
    included DECPW.386 and copy the file DECPW.386 to the windows or
    windows\system directory if not there. (copy file from a PW PC).
