adding a link sevice SNA 4 SP4

[MikeyOB]

Installed SNA4 and SP4 on Win2k. I have several in the environment already, this one will be primary server in subdomain for testing purposes. During install I only select Telnet 3270 Service and Link Services. Under Link services I de-select everything but 802.2 DLC Link Service, save everything and continue install. When I go into SNA Manager and highlight link services under my server name and right click-insert-link service, the box is blank. It should have my DLC 802.2 Link Service to add. Token ring card installed and DLC protocol installed. DLC protocol is only assigned to the Token card not the Network cards. I reinstalled over the installation, redid SP4, still blank. Anyone seen this before after install?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Did you install SP1 or higher for W2K and then add the DLC protocal to the network card? There is a specific order that we had to do this in and yes I have seen this before.

I noticed the Win2k server acting a little funny so I decided to rebuild it. SNA problem resolved. Before the rebuild I noticed that the token ring card did not have any activity sending or receiving. After the rebuild the card was working correctly and the DLC protocal showed up in "Adding Link services". Thanks.
