SYMPTOMS
A Network Monitor trace may show that Client Services for Netware (CSNW) clients issue a request for the nearest server, instead of the nearest directory server, even if the client is logging on to an NDS tree. This might cause slow logon performance, or clients might connect to servers across WAN links.
