SYMPTOMS

If you are using a diskless remoteboot workstation you cannot regain access to your workstation after this network error appears:

Net 815: Network name was deleted.


This symptom occurs when the following conditions apply:
  • Your workstation boots from a Windows NT 3.5 or 3.51 remoteboot server.
  • Your workstation is running LAN Manager for MS-DOS, version 2.2c
  • Your remoteboot server has the AutoDisconnect parameter set to -1.
  • Your workstation is booted but not used for a long time (for example, overnight).

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, set the remoteboot server's Autodisconnect parameter to a smaller value, such as 15 minutes (the default) or 480 minutes (8 hours).

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
