The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q161714 SYMPTOMS
When you try to log on to a File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW)
server running on Windows NT 4.0 in a Token Ring environment where the
client is separated from the server by multiple source routing bridges, the
following error is returned:
Shell-332-76: Network Error on Server "servername":
Error Receiving from Network;
Abort, Retry, ?
The above error is what you would get on a Novell-only client. A VLM client
gives a similar error.
CAUSE
Not enough buffer space is allocated to accommodate the Routing
Information Field on the FPNW server.
STATUS

This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 U.S. Service
Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word
