- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 on Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 4 (SP4), with
NWLINK running frame types 802.2 and 802.3 with a unique internal ID number, may
have difficulty setting up the Microsoft Mail Connector (MSMC). This may happen
if the Microsoft Mail Postoffice is located on a Novell NetWare file server that
is running frame type 802.2.

RESOLUTION
==========

You need to install File and Print services for NetWare (FPNW) for the Microsoft
Mail Connector to be able to connect to the Microsoft Mail Postoffice located on
the Netware file server that is running frame type 802.2.

STATUS
======

Clients connecting to the computer running Windows NT Server can connect with
802.2 and 802.3, but the Windows NT Server computer can only see 802.3 servers.

This behavior is by product design.
