Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if
a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the "Restoring
the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key"
Help topic in Regedt32.exe.
SYMPTOMS
========
The Shared Folders Gateway (SFGW) service introduced with SNA Server 3.0 does
not support connecting to S/36 or AS/36 systems for shared folder access.
CAUSE

The SFGW service was not originally designed to support connections to S/36 or
AS/36 systems.
RESOLUTION

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0, 3.0
SP1, 3.0 SP2, 3.0 SP3, 4.0, and 4.0 SP1. We are researching this problem in SNA
Server version 3.0 and will post more information here in the Knowledge Base as
it becomes available.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server version 4.0 U.S.
Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the

MORE INFORMATION
================
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that
problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use
Registry Editor at your own risk.
For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys And
Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete
Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in
Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If
you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk
(ERD).
In addition to applying the update, the following registry entry has to be
manually added to enable S/36 and AS/36 support for the SFGW service:
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sfgw\Parameters
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Key, and then add the following registry value:
" Key Name: S36
Class:" (without the quotation marks)
(NOTE: The Class value can be left blank.)
4. Select the S36 key and new values that match the Remote Advanced
Program-to-Program Communications (APPC) logical unit (LU) aliases for the
S/36 or AS/36 systems that will be connected to. As an example, if the Remote
APPC LU for a S/36 is S36PROD, the following steps need to be done:
a. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry
value:
" Value Name: S36PROD
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1" (without the quotation marks)
NOTE: The actual Data Type and Value do not matter, so they can be set to
anything. The Value Name has to match the actual Remote APPC LU alias
configured for the S/36 or AS/36 in SNA Server Manager.
5. Quit Registry Editor.
