Re: Problems back

-- From the Netfoss docs --
 Compatibility Issues
 --------------------

 Some "security" software (anti-virus and firewalls) will interfere with
 a socket being passed from a Telnet Server to another process such as
 NetFoss. This process is known as Socket inheritance.

 NOD32 anti-virus must be configured to allow the Telnet Server to do this,
 by doing the following:

 1. Click on IMON from the NOD32 control center.
 2. Click on Setup, and then click the "Miscellaneous" tab.
 3. Under the Exclusion section, click the "Edit" button and add the
    path/name of your telnet server .exe file.


 ZoneAlarm Security Suite will not allow exclusions to be defined, so it
 must be uninstalled.

 Windows Server 2003 or 2008 will fail to allow socket inheritance if a
 policy to enforce QoS on created TCP sockets is enabled.

What does "Invalid Socket Handle mean?

If VADV32 is accepting connections but not allowing your users to access the
BBS then it is probably due to a Netfoss error. If you turn on "Show Event
Windows" and look at the DOS window when a user tries to login, then you may be
able to see the Netfoss error message.

The most common error is "Invalid Socket Handle" which means that the socket
handle passed to Netfoss from VADV32 is not correct. This problem is not caused
by VADV32 or by Netfoss. It is the result of security software running on the
system that is intercepting the socket communications and modifying it.

There are known problems with Norton, McAfee and NOD32. If you are receiving
this error and running one of these programs or a similar solution, then first
try to add VADV32 and Netfoss to the exclusion list. If that does not solve the
problem, then uninstall the security software.
