631.0. "Error 59 with Decnet stack" by SIOG::S_DONNELLY () Fri Apr 04 1997 15:08

    
    
    I have just installed Pathworks 32 on several customer pc's
    which run Win95 and use Longshine networks cards(LCS-8634P)which 
    are supposed to be NE2000 compatible. 
    Netbeui and ipx load fine but decnet does not. On boot-up
    they come up with Error 59: A Network error has occured. 
    The following errors are also put in the PW's log 
    DNP0056E cannot start decnet. Adapter Network address is not set
    to AA0004006654
    I have checked the protocol.ini and it has an entry line
    NetAddress=AA00...
    
    From what I have read certain N/W cards do not support network
    address override or it may just be another setting in the
    protocol.ini
    Has anyone come accross this problem with this card or any other
    and any suggestions welcome. 
    
    Thanks

	Not sure how much (if any) this helps, but heres what I find in the ms error number include files for error 59: WSAETOOMANYREFS (if its socket related) ERROR_UNEXP_NET_ERR (the 'general' case) off hand, Id guess the second, but am not too sure what to do about either. --roger

	the fix is to find a network card/driver that supports the required functions. If the station address can't be set, DECnet can't run. it's mentioned in the SPD, I believe, and certainly in the release notes.
