SYMPTOMS
========

Under the category "Times Buffers Exhausted," Net Statistics Workstation
indicates that it is reporting on how many times work buffers were exhausted on
the server, but it actually is reporting on request buffers.

CAUSE
=====

NetStatisticsGet2 API data structure (workstation) has a parameter for
stw0_reqbufneed.

The OS/2 redirector uses a server message block heap buffer composed of
(basically) numworkbuf*sizworkbuf. The redirector allocates out of this buffer,
and increments the reqbufneed statistic when the buffer gets exhausted. It
should increment the workbufneed statistic, since only the server uses reqbufs.

RESOLUTION
==========

Tune NumWorkBuf in the [workstation] section of LANMAN.INI.

STATUS
======
