Token Ring Server-Based Setup May Not Work Properly This article was written about products for which Microsoft no longer offers support. Therefore, this article is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated.
This article was previously published under Q154684 SYMPTOMS
You may not be able to run a server-based setup of Windows 95 from a
Novell NetWare 3.1x or 4.x server if you are using locally administered
addresses (LAA) on your Token Ring network adapter.
CAUSE
Net.exe contains the real-mode Microsoft NetWare redirector (Nwredir.exe).
Nwredir.exe attempts to use the burned-in Token Ring address instead of
the LAA, causing the server not to recognize the workstation's attempt to
connect.
RESOLUTION
A supported fix for Windows 95 and OEM Service Release 2 that corrects
this problem is now available from Microsoft, but has not been fully
regression tested and should be applied only to computers experiencing
this specific problem. To resolve this problem immediately, contact
Microsoft Technical
upport to obtain the fix.

This fix for Windows 95 and OEM Service Release 2 should have the
following file attributes (or later):
File name Version Date Time Size --------------------------------------------------------- Net.exe n/a 6/3/96 2:38pm 375,930 bytes STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95 and
Microsoft Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 (OSR2).
This issue is not resolved in Microsoft Windows 98. Microsoft does not support running Windows 98 from a network server. MORE INFORMATION
For workstations that have already been set up to run Windows 95 from a
NetWare 3.1x or 4.x server, replace the existing Net.exe file in the
Windows folder with this updated file.
For workstations that have not already been set up, replace all copies of the Net.exe file on the server-based setup server so that Windows 95 Setup uses the updated Net.exe file during Setup.
