-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, version 2.1x 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

A Notice 20 error may occur while printing from version 2.1x of Microsoft Mail
for PC Networks, MS-DOS workstation.

CAUSE
=====

This is often caused by running MS-DOS SHARE.EXE with Novell NetWare.

RESOLUTION
==========

Load SHARE.EXE after loading IPX.COM and NETx.COM. Some network administrators
choose to load these files from a batch file that is called either by the user
or from a batch file within the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If this is true, be sure
SHARE.EXE is loaded after the network batch file.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The need for MS-DOS SHARE.EXE to be loaded after IPX.COM and NETx.COM has been
fixed with version 3.0 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, MS-DOS workstation.
Prior to Microsoft Mail version 3.0, the MS-DOS SHARE utility must be loaded
after the network drivers.
