SYMPTOMS

The following error appears when you attempt to browse server shares from File
Manager:

  The Interface is Unknown

CAUSE

This error occurs when the Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW) service is

Manager should bypass Gateway Services for NetWare.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, restart Gateway Services for NetWare.

STATUS
======

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