SUMMARY

The following error message 

   Duplicate redirection or login to network node...
occurs on a LANtastic network if users are logged in on more than one workstation and the network is not configured to accommodate multiple users.

MORE INFORMATION

To check the configuration of the workstations, do the following:

  1. Check the version numbers on all of the computers by typing "redir" (without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS prompt. Each computer should be running the 2.xxU or 2.xxG version to login more than two times.

  2. On each workstation that will be logging into more than the default number of two servers, add the command "logins=<n>" (where <n> is the number of logins that will be done from that workstation).

  3. If a user is logging in more than one time using the same username and password, specify the number of concurrent logins for that user.

  4. Invoke the NET_MGR program and select the "Server Startup Parameters" area. Check the maximum users parameter; it should be set to the number of users that are expected to log in to the server.
