NetWare Client Buffer-Size Limitation of FPNW Sent Messages

ID: Q150844

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.51

SYMPTOMS

When in File and Print Services for NetWare, you direct Server Manager to send a message, only the first 55 characters of the message are received by the Novell clients; any characters in excess of 55 are not received. Also, sending a message longer than 55 characters may cause the client computer to stop responding.

CAUSE

This problem is caused by a size limitation in the NetWare client buffer. The buffer is hard-coded and cannot be tuned.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
