The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0

SYMPTOMS

Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 takes approximately 20 seconds to display folders and files in Network Neighborhood when CSNW is installed.

CAUSE

There is a problem in the Client Services for NetWare redirector (Nwrdr.sys).

STATUS
