I am trying to add SFTIII to an existing NW 4.1 server. I have installed 
the SFTIII software and have the server working with IPX. However, when 
installing I got a message that said AppleTalk must be reinstalled, which 
I did. The problem is that the server does not advertise an AppleTalk file 
service or see the zone name.

I suspect the problem is in the binding of the AppleTalk protocol to the 
network card but cannot find anything in the documentation to tell me what 
the bindings should be. AppleTalk is bound to the MSEngine but this, 
apparently, does not talk directly to the network card. There does not 
appear to be any way in the IOEngine to specify the bindings as INETCFG 
does not provide the option.

HOW DOES THIS WORK??!!??

HELP!!

Did you load inetcfg from the MSEngine screen?

You have two ways of doing this:

1. Load install.nlm and select NCF files. You will now see that instead
of just having STARTUP.NCF & AUTOEXEC.NCF there is no (this is from
memory), MSSTART.NCF, IOAUTO.NCF (one for each IOEngine) and IOSTART.NCF
(again one for each engine). Have a look in the IOAUTO.NCF files. 

2. Load inetcfg *ON EACH IOENGINE CONSOLE*.

There are a number of NLM's which behave differently depending on
whether you load them at the IOEngine prompt or the MSEngine prompt. For
all of these, if you use it to perform an operation on one IOEngine then
load it on the other IOEngine to make the change apply to both.
SERVMAN.NLM is a good example of this. To access all of the possible
options it needs to be loaded in three places.

If you look at the online documentation, in the section on "Supervising
the Network" there is a chunk devoted to SFTIII tips. I would print a
copy out and keep it close by for a while.

Would you like me to come over and help you for a while? :-)
