SYMPTOMS
========
When you try to view the "Modem Sharing" port in the Ports tool in Control Panel
on your Small Business Server-based computer, "Modem Sharing" may be missing
from the list of available ports.
CAUSE
=====
This issue can occur after you apply Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 to
your Small Business Server-based computer. When you do so, the Ports.cpl file is
replaced, and this removes the "Modem Sharing" port from the Ports tool.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this issue, view the modem sharing port with the "netmodem"
command:
1. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Command Prompt.
2. At the command prompt, type "netmodem view <Small Business Server
name>" (without the quotation marks) and then press ENTER, where <Small
Business Server name> is the name of the computer with shared modems.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft BackOffice Small
Business Server.
MORE INFORMATION
================
In BackOffice Small Business Server versions 4.0a and earlier, modem sharing is
listed as an available port in the Ports tool.
