SYMPTOM File attributes are being sent across the network. CAUSE A problem with OPENDEV.PAT caused the symptom. SYMPTOM When a client station has open files on a NetWare Lite server and the client reboots with the files still open, sometimes the files will not be closed when the client reconnects or when watchdog clears the station connection. CAUSE A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the problem. SYMPTOM NetWare Lite print jobs are being lost when the printer has been turned off or taken offline. CAUSE A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the problem. SYMPTOM When using the NET CAPTURE or NET PRINT commands as the first commands from a client to a server that has just been rebooted, the following messages will be displayed and the command will fail: MESSAGE Redirect device -- Too many open files. or MESSAGE Write file -- Access denied. CAUSE A bug in CLIENT.EXE causes the reconnection between server and client to fail when the NET CAPTURE or NET PRINT commands are issued by a client to a server that has just been rebooted. Subsequent NET CAPTURE or NET PRINT commands from the client station will work normally. SYMPTOM Printer output that has been captured through NetWare Lite is corrupted. CAUSE A bug in CLIENT.EXE caused certain applications run on a client/server with a local printer to produce printer output that has been corrupted. SYMPTOM The NetWare Lite server appears to hang when loading applications in Window's startup box. CAUSE When automatically loading applications with Windows 3.1 and running NetWare Lite, a bug in SERVER.EXE caused the server to not respond until some of the automatically loaded applications were closed. SYMPTOM When running an application that performs background printing on a server/client with a printer connected locally, the station locks. Some applications that exhibit this problem (not limited to) are Foxpro, Mas90, Clipper, WordPerfect, PeachTree, Timeslip, Microfocus Cobol, and Red Wing. CAUSE A bug in CLIENT.EXE caused applications doing background printing on a NetWare Lite server/client where printing is captured to a printer connected locally to experience a server lock up sometimes. The problem requires the station to be rebooted. Each time the station is rebooted because of this problem, lost clusters are left on the hard drive. If this happens enough times without running "chkdsk /f" the FAT table will become corrupted. SYMPTOM When using IBM ValuePoint models 425sx or 433dx and pressing the + keys to reboot the server, or when a popup printer status screen is being displayed, the video screen switches to 40 column mode. CAUSE A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the monitor to switch to the 40 column mode. SYMPTOM Print jobs sent to an offline printer will hang Windows, if Windows is running in a superVGA mode such as 8514. CAUSE NetWare Lite uses a popup message box to indicate the status of the printer. A bug in SERVER.EXE causes the popup message box to hang Windows. SYMPTOM With the DoubleSpace device driver, nonexistant drives get set to valid physical drives after running the NET utility. CAUSE MS-DOS 6.00 changed the way the pointer to the Drive Parameter Block (DPB) is used in the Current Directory Structure (CDS). CLIENT.EXE was setting a drive status to "valid physical drive" after using the drive as a network drive. SYMPTOM The DOS rename file command fails on a NetWare Lite mapped drive with the following message: MESSAGE PATH NOT FOUND CAUSE The file is located at the root directory. CAUSE The rename command uses a DOS wildcard character as shown in the following example: rename docfile.doc *.sav SYMPTOM When printing under NetWare Lite, applications may experience corruption on their print job under the following conditions: Applications making calls to the BIOS interrupt 17 function 0 to send characters to be printed under NetWare Lite, The application makes repeated calls to interrupt 17 function 0 to send the same character to the printer without reinitializing the character to be printed in register AL. CAUSE The problem is caused because the NetWare Lite client interrupt 17 ISR failed to preserve the contents of AL. SOLUTION Apply the patch files included in L11S01.EXE.
