1900.0. "HUBwatch 3.1 with Pathworks 5.1 install" by CGOOA::VAOP05::Szostak (Am I NIS or NAC ?) Tue Jan 17 1995 19:03

I have a customer who has tried to install HUBwatch V3.1 onto a DECpc 455 DX2 
running PATHWORKS 5.1 with TCP/IP and Window for Workgroups with out any success.
The only support they recieved rfrom Colorado was that sometimes it works and
sometimes it doesn't.  I guess that's the new Support philosophy!#%&


With my endeavors to try and install HUBwatch I found that everything comes up 
fine we can Ping the hub but when HUBwatch is run it comes up with 
"No Response from Agent".  The only way to get this to work was to configure
PATHWORKS with out TCP/IP and to run only TCP/IP, TN, BAPI from STRTNDIS.BAT.  
This seemed to be the only combination that worked but of course not all of his
applications work under that config.  According to the READ_ME.TXT for HUBwatch
the only thing we needed to worry about was to have a copy of WINSOCK.DLL and
PWWSOCK.EXE local on the system, we did that PWWSOCK.EXE in \hubwatch\ipstack 
and WINSOCK.DLL in \Windows and still no Joy!!!

Can anyone help!!!

1900.1decpw.386 missing?KEIKI::WHITEWed Jan 18 1995 05:2810
    
    	We had to make sure that decpw.386 was in system.ini on the
    network= line or hubwatch would flat out not work.
    
    	Note - when configuring for ODI drivers in WFWG the decpw.386 gets
    deleted. It took us quite a while to get ODI drivers to work with
    hubwatch but after adding the decpw.386 back into system.ini and
    careful editing of net.cfg hubwatch has been working fine.

	CHECK:

	- Maybe a resource issue. Check Conventional memory, files, buffers...
          Disable other applications while running HUBwatch.

	- network=...,DECPW.386 should be in the [386Enh] section of the
	  c:\windows\system.ini file. This command runs the PATHWORKS
          v5 Windows Virtual Device Driver(VxD). If you are running 
	  HUBwatch with the network(TCP/IP stack) or PW V5.1, in either case,
 	  this command should already be in SYSTEM.INI.  

	- Make sure that WINSOCK.DLL is NOT in the same directory as
	  HUBWATCH.EXE. For PW V5.1, WINSOCK.DLL is located in c:\PW and
	  for HUBwatch in c:\hubwatch\ipstack.

	- Make sure your PATH statement includes the directory where the
	  stack is that you are using. Make sure that the stack that you 
	  are NOT USING is NOT in the PATH statement.
	
	- You may want to try increasing UDPMaxSock and TCPMaxSock in the
	  [TCPIP] section of the c:\pw or c:\hubwatch\ipstack PWTCP.INI file.
	  
	- Take a look at the WFW section in the README.TXT.
