Browse List Does Not Display All NetWare Servers

ID: Q196263

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you double-click Network Neighborhood to view a list of computers on your network, the list of Novell NetWare servers may be incomplete.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you have Microsoft Gateway (and Client) Services for NetWare (GSNW) installed and your computer is configured for automatic frame detection. NetWare servers are explicitly configured to use either Ethernet 802.2 or 802.3 frames. Reception of multiple frame types is disabled in Windows NT when you choose automatic frame detection.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, configure your computer to use multiple frame types. To do so, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
