Explanation: The application is unable to connect to the specified print server.
Possible Cause: When using the IPX/IP gateway and the user receives the following error when loading nptwin95.exe:
Nptwin95.exe cannot connect to print server CN=XXXXX. Error code:44.
The IPX/IP gateway uses a different wsock32.dll than the one that ships with Windows95. When this DLL is in place, the NPRINTER manager cannot create the printer. NPRINTER manager requires the wsock32.dll that comes with the Windows95 to create the connection to a print server.
Action: Novell® is working on a updated wsock32.dll which will work correctly. Until then, the following solution should be a satisfactory workaround.
Copy wsock32.dll from the c:\windows\system directory to the same directory that the nptwin95.exe application resides in. The path statement in the autoexec.bat needs to have a path for the Client32 subdirectory as well.
After this is done the GUI Nprinter will work because it will find the Win95 version of the wsock32.dll in the current directory before it searches the path for the IPX/IP gateway version.
NOTE: Other applications will find the IPX/IP gateway version of the file because it is in the path and use it. If there is not a path to the c:\novell\client32 subdirectory, a message stating that "A required .DLL file, wsock32.dll was not found" might be displayed.
