- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
You receive the following message in Windows for Workgroups 3.11 when Artisoft
LANtastic version 5.x is installed:
RFC:SFT not in SFT list
This error may result in the entire LANtastic network losing functionality.
CAUSE
=====
This message is caused by a problem in LANtastic versions 5.x that occurs when
loading VSHARE.386 in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, remove VSHARE.386 from the SYSTEM.INI file and load
SHARE.EXE in the AUTOEXEC.BAT as follows:
1. Comment out VSHARE.386 in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file by
inserting a semicolon at the beginning of that line. For example:
;DEVICE=VSHARE.386)
2. Load SHARE.EXE from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, which is usually located in the
DOS directory. For example:
C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F:5100
NOTE: Unloading VSHARE.386 can cause various problems with applications that use
OLE 2.0 (for example, applications included with Microsoft Office version 4.0).
