The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SNA Server for Windows NT, versions 2.1 , 2.11 and 3.0

SYMPTOMS

The IBM Client Access, 400 Network Connections applet (icon titled Folders) contains a browse button that presents the available AS/400s. When you double-click one of the Systems (AS/400s), you should receive a list of the selected AS/400s shared folders. Instead, you will receive a list of directories on the local hard drive.

CAUSE

To disable 32-bit File Access in Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, do the following:

  1. In Control Panel, select the Enhanced icon.

  2. Select the Virtual Memory button.

  3. Select the Change button.

  4. Clear the Use 32-Bit File Access option.

  5. Shutdown and reboot Windows for Workgroups for the change to take effect.
