  • The file is opened with TRUNCATE or CREATE options.


  • SH_DENYRW share mode is set.


  • The file already exists.


  • The file size is equal to f_size.



RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, use any one of the following methods:

  • Use the Windows for Workgroups 3.11 or Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS 3.11 full redirector.


  • Use the Windows for Workgroups 3.11 protected-mode redirector.


  • An updated NET.EXE file is available to correct this problem. Replace the existing NET.EXE, NET.MSG, and NETH.MSG files with the updated versions. For information about how to obtain the updated drivers, refer to the "More Information" section below.
