WFWG: Creating a WGPO on a Novell NetWare Server (95113)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
This article was previously published under Q95113 SUMMARY
The "Windows for Workgroups Mail User's Guide" describes how to create
a Workgroup Postoffice (WGPO) on a Novell NetWare server in Appendix
B. Step 7 of these instructions directs the user to create the WGPO by
following the steps explained in Chapter 5 of the Mail User's Guide.
The last step in Chapter 5 is to share the newly created WGPO. This
step should not be done since the post office will be on a NetWare
server. If the user attempts to share the WGPO directory on the
NetWare server, the following error message occurs:
You can only share resources that are on your computer. If you
are trying to share a printer, make sure that it is a local
printer and that the TEMP directory is on a local drive.
MORE INFORMATION
Sharing the NetWare postoffice is not necessary; connections to the
WGPO are made with the ServerPath= entry in the MSMAIL.INI, which
reflects the appropriate NetWare Workgroup Postoffice location.
Sharing a redirected, network drive is not possible in Windows For
Workgroups.
