TOPIC

I am having a problem with AppleShare Client for Windows not working with TCP/IP on a Windows computer. AppleShare runs fine, but an earlier installation of TCP/IP and Winsock no longer function when the AppleShare Client is loaded by the system during startup. The manual that comes with the AppleShare For Windows Client does not address this issue. Have you heard anything about this and a solution to it?

DISCUSSION

The solution is to add the following in the Link Support section to the net.cfg file:

max stacks 8

When you load a packet driver IP stack, the default value of 4 stacks the link support layer (lsl.com) can handle is not enough. Increasing the number of stacks serviced from 4 to 6 or 8 will insure proper operation.

Note: You cannot run AppleShare Client for Windows over TCP/IP, but you can run both TCP/IP and AppleShare Client for Windows off of the same Ethernet card with Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups. AppleShare Client for Windows is not supported for use with Windows 95.The Famous Apple!
