APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
This article was previously published under Q150844
SYMPTOMS
When in File and Print Services for NetWare, you direct Server Manager to
send a message, only the first 55 characters of the message are received by
the Novell clients; any characters in excess of 55 are not received. Also,
sending a message longer than 55 characters may cause the client computer
to stop responding.
CAUSE
This problem is caused by a size limitation in the NetWare client buffer.
The buffer is hard-coded and cannot be tuned.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
