The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.1 
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.1 
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1 
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51, 4.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you connect to your preferred NetWare server through the Gateway Service
for NetWare (GSNW) or Client Service for NetWare (CSNW), Windows NT does not
automatically synchronize the time with the NetWare server. The time is not
synchronized even when you use the NET TIME command or the NetWare SYSTIME
command.

CAUSE
=====

The Windows NT GSNW and CSNW do not support the 16-bit NetWare API for system
time synchronization with the NetWare server.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and
Server versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will
post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
