The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q188722 SYMPTOMS
When you upgrade your Windows 98-based computer from the Novell NetWare
Client32 version 2.11 or 2.12 program to version 2.20, and then restart
your computer, you may receive the following error message:
Windows Networking:
The following error occurred while restoring
<drive letter>: to <server and share name>
Permanent connection not available.
Do you want to restore this connection the next time you log on?
Also, if you try to access or view a resource on a persistent-mapped
Microsoft Windows NT network drive, you may be unable to do so. Note that
you may still be able to access this Windows NT network drive using other
methods.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, manually recreate persistent-mapped network
connections to the appropriate Windows NT network drives after you upgrade
to Novell NetWare Client32 version 2.20. For information about how to do
so, click Start, click Help, click the Index tab, type network drives,
and then double-click the Mapping topic. Note
that when you map a network drive, to make the connection "persistent",
you must click the Reconnect At Logon check box to select it in the Map
Network Drive dialog box.
