Mail Err Msg: The Network Path You Entered Could Not Be Found (126861)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q126861 SYMPTOMS
When you try to connect to an existing Post Office in Windows for
Workgroups Mail, you receive the following error message:
The network path you entered could not be found
CAUSE
This error can occur if you do not have an available network drive letter
for Mail to use to connect to the Post Office. When this occurs, Mail tries
to connect to the Post Office using network drive M. If that drive letter
is not available, Mail tries to use the next available drive letter before
drive M. If no other drive letters are available, Mail returns the error
message stated above.
RESOLUTION
Adjust the LASTDRIVE= statement in the CONFIG.SYS file to reflect the last
possible drive letter. For example, add the following line to the
CONFIG.SYS file if it does not already exist:
NOTE: You can use any text editor (such as Notepad) to edit the CONFIG.SYS
file. After you edit the file, save and then close it and then restart your
computer.
MORE INFORMATION
Some network DOS requesters, such as Novell NetWare's NETX.EXE, require the
LASTDRIVE statement to be set to a letter other than Z. Changing the value
of the LASTDRIVE statement in these configurations can limit network
functionality. If you cannot change the LASTDRIVE statement, disconnect
some of your network drives to provide available drive letters.
