WFWG 3.11 Err Msg: Network Modules Not Loaded (112653)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q112653 SYMPTOMS
Running FTP.EXE from TCP Utilities after installing that software package
under Windows for Workgroups may generate the following error message:
Network modules not loaded. Program aborted.
CAUSE
A number of the utilities in the TCP Utilities package (for example,
FTP.EXE) parse the CONFIG.SYS file for the following device statement:
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTMAN\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\WINDOWS
If this statement does not exist, FTP.EXE does not load and displays the
aforementioned error. FTP.EXE is hard coded to search for the location of
the TCPUTILS.INI file using the "/I:C:\Windows" part of the PROTMAN.DOS
device statement. TCPUTILS.INI must reside at the location specified by the
/I: switch on the PROTMAN.DOS line.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, create the following device statement in the
CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=C:\PROTMAN\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\WINDOWS
This modification results in a "Bad or missing C:\PROTMAN\PROTMAN.DOS
error" when you start your computer; however, it is safe to ignore this
error.
