Applications Hang When Opening Files when CSNW is Installed

ID: Q132085

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51
Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51

SYMPTOMS

If you run Windows NT 3.5 or 3.51, start Client Services for NetWare (CSNW), and run an application that opens files on the network, the application may stop responding (hang). Also, if a drive is redirected to point to the local drive, and the application opens files on the redirected drive, the application may hang. For example, if you use SUBST to redirect the C:\TEST directory to drive Z:, the application may hang when it opens files on drive Z. Once the problem occurs, any NET USE command will also hang.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, upgrade to Windows NT 3.51 (if you have not already done so) and install the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.51.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.5 and 3.51. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.51.
