Properties for IPX Directory Services Shown Intermittently (172482)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 SP1
This article was previously published under Q172482 SYMPTOMS
When you view the Properties tab of an SNA Server computer in SNA Server
Manager, the IPX Directory Services Properties tab may be intermittently
visible or invisible when it should not be.
CAUSE
Information about what transports an SNA Server computer is using is stored
in both the configuration file (Com.cfg) and the Windows NT registry. If
they are out of sync (that is, a change is not saved to the configuration
file), the registry settings should take precedence, but these settings are
not being queried by Snapage.dll and Snaole.dll when deciding what property
pages to display.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0 and
3.0 SP1. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 3.0
U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on
the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
MORE INFORMATION
With the fix applied, Snapage.dll and Snaole.dll query the registry
entries.
