File Copy to Netware Server Fails in File Manager (118826)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q118826 SYMPTOMS
When you try to copy files from File Manager to a Novell Netware server
over a 56KB link using Client or Gateway Service for Netware, the following
error message appears:
Cannot complete the file copy operation.
No connection to remote computer.
If you run the NET USE command, the connecting and disconnecting network
drives seems to work successfully. However, after disconnecting from a
network drive, the connection list displays the drive as still being
connected.
CAUSE
This problem occurs due to NWRDR not negotiating the right packet size.
WORKAROUND
To workaround to this problem, disable the Netware PBurst option on the
Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1 computer. To disable PBurst, use the
following procedure:
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide
problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them.
Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of
Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.
- Start Registry Editor and go to the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
\NwcWorkstation\Parameters - From the Edit menu, choose Add Value.
- Enter the following value:
Value Name: MaxBurstSize
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0 - Exit Registry Editor and restart Windows NT.
NOTE: This procedure disables PBurst for all servers. There is no way to
change this on individually on each server from the client computer. The
default value of MaxBurstSize is 1 (enable).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
