2721.0. "hubwatch v4.0 and winsock.dll" by BACHUS::ROELANDTS (Wa d'es ma da ve ne stuut) Thu Sep 07 1995 05:44

  Hello,

  Since yesterday I'm trying to install/configure  the HUBwatch V4.0 on my
  PC. The installation went smooth, I did all the modifications to the
  config.sys + autoexec.bat + win.ini files. The problem I'm having now
  and for which I can't find a solution is the following :  when I start
  HUBwatch from within WFW V3.11 it always gives me a FATAL ERROR and tells
  me I should "please define the environment variable WSAVERS to identify
  the WINSOCK.DLL version".

  From the DOS prompt if i type set it shows me the WSAVERS variable as
  defined. I looked with properties in Windows and it tells me the Version
  of my winsock.dll is 1.13.4.0, it comes from the TCP/IP stack from FTP
  software and with a search I found only this winsock.dll on my system.
  I tried putting WSAVERS to 1.1 - 1.13 - 1.13.4.0 but always the same error
  is reported. Could someone help with this ?

  Thanks in advance

  Regards.

    I think that that number refers to the version of that specific
    implementation of the FTP Winsock spec. I mean, the version of that
    piece of the vendor's software, not necesarily the version of Winsock
    that the implementation complies to.
    
    You need to check in your software manual, if your software really
    complies to v1.1. I don't know if even there's another version of the
    Winsock spec after v1.1 (something like 1.13.4.0).

   Hello,

   The problem has been solved.

   In fact the problem was in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, I had put a line like :

   set WSAVERS = 1.1   ==> note the spaces

   and by putting a line like :

   set WSAVERS=1.1    ==> note no spaces

   the problem has been solved and HUBwatch V4.0 runs fine now.


   Thanks anyway for the time spent for replying.
