Oh well. :-) The reason is in there.

I guess they are interesting to someone. :-)

Here's your problem and it's a simple, stupid one that should have been
easily found, long ago:

06-26-2003 12:33:25 SYS2070 PID 0023 TID 0001 Slot 0059
I:\IBMLAN\SERVICES\WKSTA.EXE
WKSTA->NETAPI.403
182
------------------------------------------------------------

06-26-2003 12:51:18 SYS2070 PID 0027 TID 0001 Slot 0057
I:\IBMLAN\SERVICES\WKSTA.EXE
WKSTA->NETAPI.403
182
------------------------------------------------------------

06-26-2003 12:52:32 SYS2070 PID 002c TID 0001 Slot 0056
I:\IBMLAN\SERVICES\WKSTA.EXE
WKSTA->NETAPI.403
182

If you check your popuplog.os2, this was the failure back in 2002 and
nothing has changed. I'm not quite sure why popuplog.os2 was not checked
back then, but it wasn't.

Just so you understand why, take a look at IBMLAN.INI. Near the end, are
the lines:

messenger = services\msrvinit.exe
peer = services\peerinit.exe
replicator = services\replicat.exe
requester = services\wksta.exe

These are the programs that get run in response to a direct or indirect
net start. You have a DLL mismatch that causes WSTKA.EXE to fail. I
suspect it was caused by your strangely split install. WSKTA.EXE is on I:
and is properly updated. NETAPI.DLL is on J: is still at the base level.

I suspect whatever FP install assist tool you used made a mistake in
setting up the response files because your setup is legal. What did you
use? WarpUP?

You can try to reinstall the Peer IP08414 FP just in case it was a one
time failure. It's probably not. If so, I can suggest a couple of
options:

- move MUGLIB to I: and try the FP install again
- hand install the files to J:\MUGLIB
- uninstall MPTS and Peer and reinstalling both on your boot drive

Do try any of these without me. They are all relatively easy, but, as
they say, there are potential issues.
