SYMPTOMS
========

The IBM Client Access, 400 Network Connections applet (icon titled Folders)
contains a browse button that presents the available AS/400s. When you

selected AS/400s shared folders. Instead, you will receive a list of directories
on the local hard drive.

access option is enabled.
