Persistent Network Connections in WIN.INI Must Be Uppercase

ID: Q91089

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

Persistent network connections are written to the [MRU_Files] and [MRU_Printers] sections of the WIN.INI file. If the entries in these sections are not uppercase, persistent connections to Novell servers or printers are not reestablished.

CAUSE

NETWARE.DRV relies on uppercase letters for persistent network connections. If you have edited the WIN.INI file and changed these settings using lowercase characters, the connections will not be reestablished when you restart the system.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups NETWARE.DRV version 3.1. This problem does not occur in later versions of the product.
