It's ok, but we a have a problem with Pathworks/DECnet that seems not to
work on Windows2000 (at least after our experiments).

I've finally found the solution :

In fact the problem was simply that the loopback device (LPB-0 127.0.0.1) was not
declared in the TCPWARE database. For those who may encounter the same problem, the
script tcpware:CNFNET_MENU.COM allow to reconfigure TCPWARE.
