SYMPTOMS
========

When you view a Novell NetWare version 4.x server's properties in Network
Neighborhood, the maximum number of connections reported may be incorrect.

CAUSE
=====

Windows 95 uses the same source of information as Novell's SYSCON utility did
with Netware 3.1x server. A Netware 4.x server fails to report this information
to the Microsoft Client for Netware Networks correctly.

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

The maximum connection number that is reported may change randomly with other
factors such as time or server load.

This problem does not occur with Novell NetWare version 3.x servers.
