SYMPTOMS

The IBM Client Access, 400 Network Connections applet (icon titled Folders) contains a browse button that presents the available AS/400s. When you double-click one of the Systems (AS/400s), you should receive a list of the selected AS/400s shared folders. Instead, you will receive a list of directories on the local hard drive.

CAUSE

IBM CA/400 returns the incorrect drive if the Microsoft Windows 32-bit file access option is enabled.

  1. In Control Panel, select the Enhanced icon.
  2. Click the Virtual Memory button.
  3. Click the Change button.
  4. Clear the Use 32-Bit File Access option.
  5. Shutdown and reboot Windows for Workgroups for the change to take effect.
