-
- Symptoms:
-
- Idle NetBIOS sessions between Windows NT clients and HP LAN Manager/X
- servers become unusable after about five minutes.

-
- HP LAN Manager/X does not recognize NetBIOS "keep alive" messages.
-
- Workaround:
-
- Disable NetBIOS "keep alive" messages in Windows NT by using the
- following procedure:
-
- WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious,
- system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to
- correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting
- from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your
- own risk.
-
- 1. Start Registry Editor.
-
- 2. Go to the following key:
-
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
- \Nbt\Parameters
-
- 3. Choose Add Value from the Edit menu.

-
- Cannot Connect Using LMHOSTS File
- ---------------------------------
-
- Symptoms:
-
- You cannot connect from a Windows NT computer to an HP LAN Manager/x
- computer by adding entries to the LMHOSTS file.
-
- Cause:
-
- HP LAN Manager/X computers do not respond to directed name queries.
-
- Workaround:
-
- Add the "#NOFNR" flag to the LMHOSTS entries for these computers. For
- more information see article Q103765 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
-
- Cannot See Files Under Some Directory Names
- -------------------------------------------
-
-
- Symptoms:
-
- You cannot view files on an HP LAN Manager/X server located in a
- directory that has a name with more than three characters following
- the period. If you try to run the DIR command a "file not found"
- message appears.
-
- Cause:
-
- HP LAN Manager/X version 1.4 negotiates by the SMB Specification Ext
- 2.0 (or LAN Manager 1.x). This specification does not support long
- file names.
-
- Status:
-
- Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows
- NT Advanced Server version 3.1. There is a fix for this problem that
- has not been regression-tested. Contact Microsoft Product Support
- Services for more information.
-
- Prompted for Password on Connection
- -----------------------------------
-
- Symptoms:
-
- You may be prompted for a password when you connect from a Windows NT
- computer to a LAN Manager or HP LAN Manager/X version 1.x server.
-
- Cause:
-
- For security reasons Windows NT does not send an un-encrypted password
- over the network unless you type it in. Since HP LAN Manager/X machines do
- not support encrypted passwords, Windows NT asks for a
- password with the following prompt:
-
- The password is invalid for \\servername\sharename.
- Type the password for \\servername\sharename:
-
- Solution:
-
- Typing the correct password will allow you to log in.
