This article was previously published under Q188206 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to connect to a network share on a Microsoft Windows NT
server, the connection attempt may not succeed and you may receive the
error message "Access Denied," even though you do have permissions to the
network share.
For example, this error message may appear when you click Start, click
Run, and then type a command such as the following sample command in the
Open box:
\\<servername>\<sharename>
CAUSE
This problem may occur if the Windows NT server has a large number of
shares (approximately 1,000 or more), especially if the share name appears
towards the end of the list of share names (sorted alphabetically). Under
such conditions, the list of network share names may exceed 64 kilobytes
(KB), and the share name may not appear within the first 64 KB of this
list.
RESOLUTION
