Browse List Does Not Display All NetWare Servers (196263)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0
This article was previously published under Q196263

SYMPTOMS

When you double-click Network Neighborhood to view a list of computers on your network, the list of Novell NetWare servers may be incomplete.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you have Microsoft Gateway (and Client) Services for NetWare (GSNW) installed and your computer is configured for automatic frame detection. NetWare servers are explicitly configured to use either Ethernet 802.2 or 802.3 frames. Reception of multiple frame types is disabled in Windows NT when you choose automatic frame detection.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, configure your computer to use multiple frame types. To do so, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0.
