Problem Description: 

 4056160 - Authentication fails when the name service is local "hosts" file
           and the platform is Win95b or Win95 OSR2.  The system fails to
 	   find the authentication server by name.  Using the IP address
	   works.  Mounting drives fails by system name but works with
	   IP address.

 4045798 - Occasionaly if the Network Provider gets called, it will unload and 
	   log the user in as nobody. The user is unaware of this and when they
	   attempt to save a file on the network they will get a permission 
	   denied message.

Patch Installation Instructions: 
 
 This patch is packaged as a self-extracting compressed file (10496402.exe).  
 It must be installed from Windows95.  The setup program backs up the original 
 file(s).  It then installs the new file(s) and a patch uninstall utility. 

 To install, download 10496402.exe to a temporary directory on the PC.  
 
 In Windows95, select "Run" from the "Start" menu.  Enter the path and 
 patch filename (Example: c:\temp\10496402) then select "OK".  

 The patch will uncompress and start the setup program automatically.  
 Follow the setup program prompts to complete the patch installation.  

 Restart Windows95.


Patch Removal Instructions:

 In Windows95, click "Start".  Then select "Programs", "Patch 10496402"
 and click on "uninstallSHIELD".  

 WARNING - The patch uninstall program restarts Windows95 at the end
           of the uninstall process.
