MFG/PRO 7.3 client on windows xp - is it possible ?

[alexban]

Hi
I've been trying for a while to instal MFG/PRO 7.3 client version on windows xp without success... The thing is that MFG/pro 7/3 works with netbeui that is unnsupportend on windows xp. I've installed the netbeui "protocol" from the windows xp cdrom , but I'm getting "server unavailble" (733) message... Is there a way to make it work on windows xp ?

the client is started wit a batch file that looks like this:

 @ECHO OFF
c:\dlc\bin\_progres.exe -pf test.pf

the .pf file looks llike this:

test -N netbios -S test -H it04
-db xxtest -ld qadcres -N netbios -S xxtest -H it04 -cache xx.csh
-db mfghelp -ld qadhelp -N netbios -S help -H it04 -cache help.csh
-cpinternal ibm852 -cpstream ibm852 -cpcoll romanian
-cprcodein iso8859-2 -cprcodeout iso8859-2
-p mf.p -E -d dmy -yy 1930

On windows 98 netbeui has to be the default protocol but on xp there is no option for this...

I can provide other informations if that is required.

Thank you very much,
Alexban

I think the problem may be with either the \windows\drivers\etc
lmhosts.sam or \windows\drivers\etc\protocols. Compare these in XP to the win98 ones (located in the windows directory).
