Article: Q184996
Product(s): Microsoft Windows NT
Version(s): WinNT:4.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kbWinNT400sp4fix
Last Modified: 10-AUG-2001

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 
- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

When browsing a NetWare server in Network Neighborhood or Explorer, not all
volumes on the server are shown.

CAUSE
=====

The redirector for Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) for Windows NT Workstation
and Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW) for Windows NT Server fails to show any
volumes on a NetWare server past a volume which is dismounted.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or
Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information,
please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  Q152734 How to Obtain the Latest Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT 4.0 and Windows NT
Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. This problem was first corrected in Windows
NT 4.0 Service Pack 4.0 and Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition
Service Pack 4.


MORE INFORMATION
================

NetWare volumes are enumerated by CSNW and GSNW based on volume number. The
redirector requests the name of each volume starting with volume 0, and
progresses incrementally through the volumes on the NetWare server. If the
NetWare server reports that a particular volume number is not mounted, CSNW/GSNW
stops enumerating the volumes at that point and displays the list it has to the
user. If the NetWare server has more volumes mounted past the volume number
where one (or more) was dismounted, they will not be displayed. However, a user
can still connect to any volume by specifying its name in the Map Network Drive
dialog box or with a NET USE command at a command prompt.
