one or more of the following problems:

- When you create a new folder within a volume on your FPNW server, the new
  folder will not be viewable or accessible until you have refreshed your
  desktop.

  -or-

- When you access a recently renamed folder, you may receive the following
  error message:

  The folder <\\path\foldername> does not exist.

the Novell intraNetWare Client for Windows NT Version 4.10 (970214).
