Network Error when Pipe Read Attempted on Broken Pipe (99480)






This article was previously published under Q99480

SUMMARY

In Windows, the error:
NETWORK ERROR READING DRIVE. RETRY, CANCEL
is displayed if a Windows client receives an error (ERROR CLASS has to be ERRSRV) on a PIPE READ, during this transaction:
     SERVER                    CLIENT

               <------     SMB READ BYTE RANGE
                           (but reading pipe)

     SMB ERROR     ------->
     Error class 2
     Error number does not matter
				
Often, this condition results when a Windows client requests a PIPE READ on a broken pipe, and the server returns an error (ERROR CLASS 2, ERROR NUMBER 1).
