SYMPTOMS
Applications may fail with "network error" or "disk full error" when running on a Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 5 computer. In particular, the problem occurs when running Microsoft Mail with numerous Mail Transfer Agents (MTAs) on a single computer connecting multiple times to a Master MTA Server. The session log for Microsoft Mail will indicate "disk full error" had occurred.



CAUSE
When a computer running Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 5 system is connected to the same resource on a remote server with two or more drive letters, disconnecting one of the drive letters may disrupt activity on the other drive connection.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use the Rdr.sys file from Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 4.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51 Service Pack 5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
