This article was previously published under Q90222 SUMMARY
There are two known problems that can temporarily halt server
operation in Windows for Workgroups.
MORE INFORMATIONPrint Manager Menus
If you activate a menu in Print Manager on the server machine, all
print jobs temporarily stop spooling. Once the menu is closed,
spooling resumes. No other shared resources are affected.
Critical Errors in MS-DOS or Windows
Critical errors on the server machine, those that cause the system to
halt until the error is resolved, stop all network communication.
Critical errors in MS-DOS Prompt sessions and in Windows usually
result in the options Abort, Retry or Fail. Once you respond to one of
the options and the critical error has been resolved, all network
communication will resume.
If the server is also the browse-master for its workgroup, other users
attempting to browse will notice a long delay before a connection or
network settings dialog box appears.
The server automatically ignores critical errors that happen on remote
clients, and returns an appropriate error code to the client that
encountered the error (Fail).
