SYMPTOMS
After installing the Microsoft Service for NetWare Directory Services
(MSNDS) in Windows 95, if you use a Dial-Up Networking connectoid to
connect remotely, you may lose access to drives mapped in your logon
script. The mapped drives still appear in My Computer and Windows Explorer,
but if you try to access one of the drives you receive the following error
message:
<drive>:\ is not accessible. Access is denied.
You can access the NetWare server without error using Network Neighborhood.
Additionally, if you run the Novell NetWare WHOAMI command, you appear to
be logged on.
RESOLUTION
Use the following steps to correct this problem:
- Click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Accessories,
and then click Dial-Up Networking.
- Use the right mouse button to click the connectoid you want to use,
and then click Properties on the menu that appears.
- Click Server Type, click the Log On To Network check box to clear it,
and then click OK.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95.
This problem is resolved in Microsoft Windows 98.
