PRB: NET VIEW Command Not Supported on MS-NET Servers

ID Number: Q63637

2.00

OS/2

Summary:

SYMPTOMS

Doing a NET VIEW on an MS-NET server from an OS/2 LAN Manager

version 2.0 server results in an OS/2 error 50, followed by a

"SYS0050: network request is not supported" error.

CAUSE

This is expected behavior for NET VIEWs performed on MS-NET servers

from OS/2 LAN Manager 2.0 servers or workstations because NET VIEW

requires a mailslot, and mailslots are not supported under MS-NET.

An OS/2 error 50 should not occur when doing a NET VIEW command

on an OS/2 LAN Manager 2.0 server.
