SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks to connect to a Novell
NetWare server, you may experience any of the following symptoms when you access
a directory whose space has been limited with the Dspace tool:

- When you attempt to check the amount of disk space available in the
  directory, the amount of available disk space on the entire volume is
  reported. The fact that the Dspace tool has been run to limit the size of the
  directory is not recognized.

- When you attempt to copy files to the directory, one of the following error
  messages may be displayed if the size of the files that you are attempting to
  copy exceeds the amount of available space in the directory:

  -Unable to complete a background operation on connection to <server>.
  Select Retry to try the operation again, or press Escape to cancel all
  outstanding background operations on this connection.

  Operation: File Write
  Error: 0x01 'Unknown error'

  -Access denied.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this problem, use the Novell VLM or NETX network client instead
of the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks.

STATUS
======

This behavior is caused by a difference in the functionality provided by the
Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks and the Novell VLM and NETX clients, not
by a problem in Microsoft Windows 95.

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

The Novell Dspace tool is a workstation tool used to view or modify directory
and user space limitations.
