SYMPTOMS
========

After you connect to two multi-homed NetWare 3.11 servers from a Windows NT
multi-homed server running the Gateway Service for NetWare (GSNW), Windows for
Workgroups 3.11 clients cannot access files on the NetWare volumes shared
through GSNW for about five minutes. After five minutes, the clients can access
the NetWare volumes, but the following error message appears:

  No Files Found

=====

This problem occurs when you have different gateway accounts for each GSNW to
NetWare server session.

==========

To correct this problem, create one gateway account for all GSNW to NetWare
server sessions.

======
