SYMPTOMS
========

If you are using an OS/2-based computer and you try to connect to a Windows
95-based computer that is using File and Printer Sharing for NetWare, your
computer may hang (stop responding).

CAUSE
=====

This behavior occurs when the NetWare Requester for OS/2 queries for a list of
mounted volumes, and the Windows 95 File and Printer Sharing service for NetWare
Networks (NWServer) responds in a manner that causes the requester to continue
querying indefinitely.

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.
