Receiving error messages upon start up of Domino 6 server on a Windows 2000 server. The error message makes reference to the Notes.ini file.
09/24/2003 12:26:35 PM Error on Listen function: NETBIOS unit/lana number specified in NOTES.INI is not valid on this system, or a network is not started
The error appears in groups of three lines every 10 seconds. I have disabled the following ports under Server → Current server document → Ports → Notes Network Ports:
Best guess, you want to change the (enabled) ‘Ports’ line in notes.ini from ‘Ports=LAN0ip,LAN1’ to ‘Ports=TCPIP’. At least one of your enabled ports refers to a LAN Adapter number that’s not defined in your Windows network properties, and probably doesn’t need to be. Most sites configure Domino servers to communicate exclusively over TCP/IP these days. Since your notes.ini shows that a TCP/IP port is already defined for Domino, you can quickly change the enabled port list.
I’d avoid editing notes.ini directly if you can; instead, use the ‘set config’ console command. Enter these two commands at the server console, one at a time, and that should straighten things out.
