Most recent fixes:


Problem Report Number: T03904
  LANCHECK does not report CRC, Alignment, or Collision errors when running
  over AI-NDIS.
	Fixed in AI-NDIS.EXE v2.16.05.
  Please note that these statistics are only available and reported for 
  logical adapter 0.  This is the same version of AI-NDIS that was shipped
  with LANtastic PowerSuite (6.10) and LANtastic 7.0.

Problem Report Number: T14162
  LANtastic computers in a mixed DOS and Windows 95 (or LANDS) environment
  may be intermittently disconnected from each other.  It is extremely
  important that any and all earlier versions of AILANBIO.EXE on all DOS 
  machines be replaced with this version as the problem is caused by a DOS 
  machine other than the one that reports the error.
	Fixed in AILANBIO.EXE v4.07.02.

Problem Report Number: T02301
  When a laptop connects to the network via LDU and a Central Station and 
  runs a local copy of Windows 3.x, the connection is intermittently broken.
	Fixed in MPORT.EXE v4.03.03.

Problem Report Number:  T05718
  Intermittently the error "Cannot locate network name" is displayed when 
  attempting to login to LANtastic servers.
	Fixed in AILANBIO.EXE v4.06.15.

Problem Report Number:  T06329
  The NDIS driver for IBM Token Ring adapters does not provide its own stack.  
  This can cause a server to hang if foreground operations are attempted   
  during network activity.  Use the new STACK= switch to create a stack.
	Fixed in AI-NDIS.EXE v2.16.02.

Problem Report Number:  T07623
  License timeout messages when there should still be available license
  slots.  You will also need the new REDIR/SERVER programs (in NOS600.EXE for
  LANtastic 6.0 users) for the new licensing algorithm. LANtastic 6.10 and
  above does not experience this issue.
  LANtastic 6.0 users, please also download and apply patch NOS600.EXE, as 
  part of the fix is in REDIR.EXE.
	Fixed in AILANBIO.EXE v4.06.15.

Problem Report Number: T07630
  If you are using SMB client support, the NETBEUI program was not included
  in the LANtastic 6.0 distribution.  We have included Microsoft's NETBEUI
  in this NTBDOS.EXE file. The new version is dated 6/28/93 and of size 
  33,232 bytes.

Problem Report Number:  T07663
  FFRPL.EXE does not function on a 2nd network adapter. All nodes on 2nd adapter
  are unable to find FFRPL server, while non-remote-boot stations have access to
  the server without difficulty. 
	Fixed in AILANBIO.EXE v4.06.15.

Problem Report Number: T07799
  A machine running LANtastic using ODI low-level drivers with
  AI-NDIS using /IEEE and AILANBIO using /IPX_ROUTING switches

		 RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
****************************************************************************

Make a backup copy of any existing AILANBIO.EXE, AI-NDIS.EXE, MPORT.EXE, 
AI-ODI.EXE, and NETBEUI.EXE programs.  If present, they would reside in your 
LANtastic network directory (by default, this directory is C:\LANTASTI).

After backing up your original files, Run the self-extracting compressed file
NTBDOS.EXE in the directory where LANtastic is installed.  Be sure to read 
the NTBDOS.TXT file carefully for any special instructions relating to your 
environment.  

Reboot the machine afterwards so that the new programs will be loaded.

Repeat this procedure on *all* LANtastic 6.x and 7.0 DOS/Windows 3.x machines 
on the network.  Do not use this patch on a Windows 95 system as the programs
are not applicable.

IMPORTANT: Be sure you are running the same version of AILANBIO.EXE on
every node on the network.  Also, if using the NO_MULTICAST switch, it must
be used on *all* machines on the network as well.

If you have any difficulties, please contact Artisoft Technical Support at
(520) 670-7000.
