The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5 
- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5 
- MSPRESS Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit, version 3.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Page 520, Volume 1, of the Windows NT 3.5 Resource Guide lists and
describes the Redirector (Rdr) Service Registry entries. The maximum amount
of time the redirector waits for a connect or disconnect to complete is
specified in the following registry subkey and value name of the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree:

  \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters

  Value Name: ConnectTimeout
  Data Type:  REG_DWORD
  Data:       <Number of seconds>

  Default Time-out: 300 seconds (5 minutes)

The value name and default time-out period mentioned above are incorrect.

The correct information is as follows:

  Value Name: ConnectMaxTimeout
  Data Type:  REG_DWORD
  Data:       <Number of seconds>

  Default Time-out: 45 seconds
