SYMPTOMS

If you are running a shared network installation of Windows for Workgroups from a Windows NT or Windows for Workgroups server and you log off from the network (either through Control Panel or by running LOGONOFF.EXE), you receive a series of general protection (GP) faults. As a result, Windows for Workgroups stops responding (hangs). This problem does not occur if you are running a shared network installation of Windows for Workgroups from a Novell server.

CAUSE

Windows for Workgroups encounters these problems because logging off closes the redirector; as a result, you no longer have access to the network and the files required to run Windows for Workgroups.
