SYMPTOMS
When you use a Windows 95 workstation to log on to a Novell NetWare 3.x or
4.x server that allows more than 256 users, you may experience one or both
of the following symptoms:
- The Windows 95 workstation may return an incorrect connection number
for more than 256 connections.
- Another user's name may appear on the banner page when you print a
document to a NetWare Print Server.
CAUSE
The Microsoft Login Script Processor for NetWare (NWLSPROC) incorrectly
reports the number of connections if that number is greater than 256. This
causes some users to receive an incorrect connection ID.
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
http://www.microsoft.com/windows.
MORE INFORMATION
When you send a print job to a NetWare Print Server, the connection ID is
used to determine the name that is printed on the banner page. If the
connection ID is incorrect, the wrong name may be printed on the banner
page.
