Unable to open IPX channel

[Michelle Windeler]

Configuration Information:
Version: pcANYWHERE32 8.0
Operating system: Windows 95 OSR2

I am getting a communications error when trying to connect from a
Windows 95 computer to a DOS computer. The error message is "unable
to open an IPX channel. Only one active IPX connection is available
at any time. Check your network configuration if this is your only
session." This error doesn't seem to occur every time, only after I
receive an error printing to my HP LaserJet 5L printer. The error
for the 5L printer (which is connected via serial port) "There was an
error writing to LPT1: for the printer (HP LaserJet 5L): This network
connection does not exist." I'm not even trying to print on a
network printer! I am trying to print out of WordPad. Are there any
known issues between these two softwares? After a reboot on the
Windows 95 computer, I can connect using pcANYWHERE just fine. My
printer is connected to a TekSoft (CAD/CAM software) key, which is
directly connected to the serial port. I am getting problems in
TekSoft too after I get the printer error.
