The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5

SYMPTOMS

If you start Paradox for DOS version 4.0 or 4.5 by running PDOXDOS.PIF on Windows NT version 3.5 using Client Service for NetWare (CSNW) to connect to a NetWare server and you "shell out" to a command prompt from Paradox and run a few MS-DOS commands, Windows NT stops responding (hangs).

CAUSE

You used the NUPDATE utility to configure Paradox for a Microsoft LAN Manager network. However, because you are using CSNW, you are actually using a NetWare network protocol and must configure Paradox for a Novell network.

RESOLUTION

When you run Paradox on a Windows NT computer using CSNW to connect to a NetWare server, configure Paradox for a Novell network.

NOTE: The same does not hold true when using Microsoft Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW). When you run Paradox on a Windows NT computer connecting to a NetWare server through a Windows NT GSNW gateway, you are actually using an Server Message Block (SMB) network protocol and must configure Paradox for a Microsoft LAN Manager network.
