- Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the Microsoft NetWare Directory Services client (MSNDS) to connect
to a Novell NetWare version 3.x or 4.x server, you may not receive a prompt to
log on.

CAUSE
=====

MSNDS performs a Get Nearest Server NCP query rather than a Get General Server
NCP query. A Get General Server query is issued by a Windows 95 client only if a
Get Nearest Server query does not report any NetWare servers. In this case,
MSNDS should perform a Get General Server NCP query instead.

RESOLUTION
==========


STATUS
======

This problem no longer occurs in Windows 98. To resolve this problem, install
the current version of Windows. For information about the current version of
Windows, visit http://www.microsoft.com/windows.
