7179.3wfwnet.drv in \windows\systemSUFRNG::WSA028::DOWNING_LTue Jan 28 1997 07:4219
I had a customer with the same version of PATHWORKS and WFW without the
Microsoft Networking turn on.

In his case, he USED to have Microsoft networking turn on.

One of my coworkers pointed out to me that when you configure WFW to use 
Microsoft Networking, it puts WFWNET.DRV in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM and loads it
with SYSTEM.INI.

If you turn off Microsoft Networking, WFW removes the entry to load WFWNET.DRV
from SYSTEM.INI, but WFWNET.DRV still exists in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM.

Apparently, PATHWRKS.DRV in version 6 of the DOS/Windows client looks for and
attempts to load WFWNET.DRV if it finds it in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM.

On my customer's system, renaming the file stopped the nuisance message and
the network continues to function normally.
