SUMMARY

Symantec technical support has confirmed that when you use version 2.0 of Norton Desktop for Windows with Windows 3.1 and a Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1 Enhanced network, you may not be able to disconnect from network drives.

MORE INFORMATION

If you are using Desktop for Windows 2.0 as the shell for Windows 3.1 and have installed the LAN Manager 2.1 Enhanced network driver, you may not be able to disconnect from network drives when choosing Disconnect Net Drive from the Disk Menu of Desktop for Windows 2.0.

Page 4-7 of the "Norton Desktop for Windows User's Guide" for version 2.0 states that when you choose this option:

Either the Disconnect Network Drive dialog box or the Network Connections dialog box appears, depending on your network and which version of Windows you are running."
