No Network Access After Running Sclntupd.exe (148708)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q148708 SYMPTOMS
After you run Sclntupd.exe from Microsoft Windows 95 Service Pack 1 on a
shared network installation of Windows 95, you may no longer be able to
access the network.
CAUSE
When you run Sclntupd.exe, it copies a new Net.exe file to the Temp
folder (as defined in the "SET TEMP" statement in the Autoexec.bat file).
If the Temp folder is the Windows folder, the original Net.exe file is
overwritten by the new Net.exe file. When Sclntupd.exe finishes, it
cleans up the Temp folder, which includes deleting the Net.exe file.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this situation, copy the Net.exe file from the Windows 95
Service Pack 1 disks or CD-ROM to the local Windows folder.
To prevent the issue from occurring, modify the Autoexec.bat file
before you run Sclntupd.exe and then restart your computer. Modify the
Autoexec.bat file so that the "SET TEMP" and "SET TMP" statements point
to a folder other than the Windows folder. For example, modify the "SET
TEMP" and "SET TMP" statements to point to the C:\Windows\Temp folder.
