Article: Q134695
Product(s): Microsoft Windows NT
Version(s): 
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s):

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

- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.51 
- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.51 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you use BW-Connect NFS version 3.5 for Windows NT with Windows NT version
3.51, virtual DOS machines (VDMs) requiring keyboard input stop responding
(hang). For example, if you run an MS-DOS based-text editor, the VDM hangs. You
cannot use the Task List End Task button to close the MS-DOS Command Prompt.

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs because BW-Connect NFS version 3.5 is incompatible with the
way Windows NT 3.51 handles universal naming conversion (UNC) names.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, obtain BW-Connect NFS version 3.6 for Windows NT.
Version 3.6 includes a new NFS driver specifically written for Windows NT
version 3.51. For additional information:
