MSNDS Client Does Not Prompt to Log On

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Microsoft NetWare Directory Services client (MSNDS) to connect to a Novell NetWare version 3.x or 4.x server, you may not receive a prompt to log on.

CAUSE

MSNDS performs a Get Nearest Server NCP query rather than a Get General Server NCP query. A Get General Server query is issued by a Windows 95 client only if a Get Nearest Server query does not report any NetWare servers. In this case, MSNDS should perform a Get General Server NCP query instead.

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.
