This article was previously published under Q128146
SYMPTOMS
When you try to overwrite an existing file in a subdirectory of a read-
only share on a Microsoft Windows NT 3.5 computer from a Windows for
Workgroups 3.11 computer, the Windows for Workgroups computer stops
responding (hangs).
This problem does not occur if the file you try to overwrite is in the
root directory of the share, nor does it occur from File Manager
or an MS-DOS prompt.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, mark all the files in the share's sub-
directory with the Read-Only attribute.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows for
Workgroups version 3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
