With GSNW, Windows NT 4.0 Client Cannot See All Files on NetWare Server

• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition

SYMPTOMS

When a Windows NT 4.0 client accesses files on a NetWare server through Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW), and if there is a slow link between the Windows NT 4.0 client and GSNW, the Windows NT 4.0 client may not be able to see all the files in a directory on the NetWare server.

The problem does not appear when there is a LAN between the Windows NT client and GSNW. The problem does not appear with Windows NT 3.51 clients.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
