Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 Considerations
Microsoft Windows NT WINS and Domain Controller Services
The WINS and Domain Controller services do not work
in an environment with more than one ELAN. Contact
Microsoft for current status on multiple ELAN support for
these Windows NT services.
DHCP Service
The Windows NT 3.51 DHCP service can assign up to
14 client IP addresses. If the total number of configured
ELANs and other DHCP clients on the network exceeds 14,
3Com suggests that you manually assign TCP/IP addresses
to ELANs using IP services.
Services Fail to Start
Some services may fail to start in a server configured with a
large number of ELANs. The services that fail to start can be
started manually from the Control Panel/Services application.
Same ELAN on Different NICs
Configuring the same ELAN on two different NICs in the
system is not supported. The Windows NT Workstation
Service may not start if the same ELAN is configured on
two different ATMLink NICs in a Windows NT system.
Windows NT Diagnostics
A Windows NT 3.51 server with three or more installed
ATMLink 155 PCI NICs may hang when you use the native
Windows NT Diagnostics application to view the ATMLink
NIC resources.
Install Program Displays Disabled ELANs as Enabled
ELANs can be disabled using the ATMLink install program
or the Control Panel/Network/Bindings. ELANs disabled
through Network/Bindings appear to be enabled in the
ATMLink install program, and ELANs disabled using the
ATMLink install program appear to be enabled in the
Network/Bindings display.
