can't figure out what it is..."

We are trying to use Server Prompted scedhuling on a Win95 client.  We have
other clients using prompted mode, but this one will not go in - we get a
message when we initialize the schedule that says that it will use polling
method if it is supported - it will then go into polling mode and begin the
countdown.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Answers to the "simple" questions -

1.  Server schedulemode is set to "Any"  (and others are doing prompted)

2.  We have tried setting the scedmode option in both the command inteface
when we launch the scheduler

 (C:\ADSM32\DSMC.EXE schedule -schedmode=prompted) and via the DSM.OPT file
(schedmode prompted).  There are no other references to the schedmode in the
options file.

3.  The client is at level 2.1.0.3 of DSMC - mod date of 3/1/96.

4.  The client is using Microsoft's TCP/IP as comes with Win95.  It is a Token
Ring connection.

5.  There are no messages in DSMERROR.LOG

We have also checked for typos, short forms, etc. - no luck.

Anyone have any suggestions?
