Problems Attaching to Novell Print Server (78903)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.0
This article was previously published under Q78903

SUMMARY

While running Microsoft Windows on a Novell Network, you cannot attach to a print server by typing the full name of the file server. You must select the file server with your mouse or type the first letter of the file server name and then use the arrow keys to choose the correct server.

MORE INFORMATION

Example

Let's assume you have three servers: James, Jane, Noid.

When you perform step 4 above and type J, it would display 
   James
   Jane
   Noid
and "James" would be selected. If you continue and type the name "Jane" (rather than just "J"), the display will change when you type the character "n". It will then change to the server "Noid".

This behavior occurs because the attach function only looks at the first letter of the server and ignores the other letters.
