SYMPTOMS
When you use a Windows-based version of a Novell NetWare program that
attempts to map a path to a NetWare server with a backslash (\) at the end
of the path, the connection may not be made or you may receive an error
message stating that the server could not be found.
This problem may also occur with the Microsoft Service for NetWare
Directory Services (MSNDS).
CAUSE
This behavior can occur because the Ifsmgr.vxd file does not support a
trailing backslash on a network connection.
RESOLUTION
STATUS
This problem no longer occurs in Windows 98. To resolve this problem, install the current version of Windows. For information about the current version of Windows, visit
