──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SYMPTOM
When running the Quicken finance software and printing to a NetWare Lite
captured printer, Quicken printing fails with the following message:
MESSAGE
Can't print to LPT1
CAUSE
A bug in CLIENT.EXE caused the problem.
SYMPTOM
File attributes are being sent across the network.
CAUSE
A problem with OPENDEV.PAT caused the symptom.
SYMPTOM
When a client station has open files on a NetWare Lite server and the
client reboots with the files still open, sometimes the files will not be
closed when the client reconnects or when watchdog clears the station
connection.
CAUSE
A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the problem.
SYMPTOM
NetWare Lite print jobs are being lost when the printer has been turned
off or taken offline.
CAUSE
A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the problem.
SYMPTOM
When using the NET CAPTURE or NET PRINT commands as the first commands
from a client to a server that has just been rebooted, the following
messages will be displayed and the command will fail:
MESSAGE
Redirect device -- Too many open files.
or
MESSAGE
Write file -- Access denied.
CAUSE
A bug in CLIENT.EXE causes the reconnection between server and client to
fail when the NET CAPTURE or NET PRINT commands are issued by a client to
a server that has just been rebooted. Subsequent NET CAPTURE or NET
PRINT commands from the client station will work normally.
SYMPTOM
Printer output that has been captured through NetWare Lite is corrupted.
CAUSE
A bug in CLIENT.EXE caused certain applications run on a client/server
with a local printer to produce printer output that has been corrupted.
SYMPTOM
The NetWare Lite server appears to hang when loading applications in
Window's startup box.
CAUSE
When automatically loading applications with Windows 3.1 and running
NetWare Lite, a bug in SERVER.EXE caused the server to not respond until
some of the automatically loaded applications were closed.
SYMPTOM
When running an application that performs background printing on a
server/client with a printer connected locally, the station locks. Some
applications that exhibit this problem (not limited to) are Foxpro,
Mas90, Clipper, WordPerfect, PeachTree, Timeslip, Microfocus Cobol, and
Red Wing.
CAUSE
A bug in CLIENT.EXE caused applications doing background printing on a
NetWare Lite server/client where printing is captured to a printer
connected locally to experience a server lock up sometimes.
The problem requires the station to be rebooted. Each time the station
is rebooted because of this problem, lost clusters are left on the hard
drive. If this happens enough times without running "chkdsk /f" the FAT
table will become corrupted.
SYMPTOM
When using IBM ValuePoint models 425sx or 433dx and pressing the
<Ctrl>+<Alt> keys to reboot the server, or when a popup printer status
screen is being displayed, the video screen switches to 40 column mode.
CAUSE
A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the monitor to switch to the 40 column mode.
SYMPTOM
Print jobs sent to an offline printer will hang Windows, if Windows is
running in a superVGA mode such as 8514.
CAUSE
NetWare Lite uses a popup message box to indicate the status of the
printer. A bug in SERVER.EXE causes the popup message box to hang
Windows.
SYMPTOM
With the DoubleSpace device driver, nonexistant drives get set to valid
physical drives after running the NET utility.
CAUSE
MS-DOS 6.00 changed the way the pointer to the Drive Parameter Block
(DPB) is used in the Current Directory Structure (CDS). CLIENT.EXE was
setting a drive status to "valid physical drive" after using the drive as
a network drive.
SYMPTOM
The DOS rename file command fails on a NetWare Lite mapped drive with the
following message:
MESSAGE
PATH NOT FOUND
CAUSE
The file is located at the root directory.
CAUSE
The rename command uses a DOS wildcard character as shown in the
following example:
rename docfile.doc *.sav
SYMPTOM
When printing under NetWare Lite, applications may experience corruption
on their print job under the following conditions:
Applications making calls to the BIOS interrupt 17 function 0 to send
characters to be printed under NetWare Lite,
The application makes repeated calls to interrupt 17 function 0 to send
the same character to the printer without reinitializing the character to
be printed in register AL.
CAUSE
The problem is caused because the NetWare Lite client interrupt 17 ISR
failed to preserve the contents of AL.
SOLUTION
Apply the patch files included in L11S01.EXE. (Before applying files in
the FIELDTST subdirectory, read FIELDTST.TXT.)
