SYMPTOMS
========

When the Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP attempts to close a socket after
receiving or sending a message, and the gateway PC has LAN Workplace for MS-DOS,
you may receive an error (9):

   07:32:32 - Translating remote address: "14403LUTY@KCPBLDG05.BV.COM"
   07:32:32 - Comparing: kcpbldg05.bv.com to KCPBLDG05.BV.COM

CAUSE
=====

If the version of Novell TCPIP.EXE on the SMTP gateway is dated 11/13/92, it is
not the most current version and it produces this error.

RESOLUTION
==========

Install the version dated 9/28/93. Also, in the NET.CFG file, change the Link
Driver section to include these lines only:

   Link Driver 3C509

   Frame Ethernet_II
   Frame Ethernet_802.3
   Protocol IPX 0 Ethernet_802.3
