SYMPTOMS
When you log on to a Windows NT Advanced Server from a WorkGroup Add-On For
MS-DOS Client, this error message appears:
Error 55: This resource does not exist on the network.
This happens when you attempt to reconnect to the server after having
restarted your computer without first logging off from a previous session
to the same server. This only happens within a limitied time after
restarting your computer. After that time the error will not occur.
WORKAROUND
You can work around this problem by adding the following lines to the
[MS$NETBEUI] section of the file, PROTOCOL.INI:
NETBIOSRETRIES=4
NETBIOSTIMEOUT=1500
These values are estimates and may need to be tuned up or down.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows WorkGroup Add-On
For MS-DOS Version 3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new
information in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
