Windows Drops to MS-DOS When MSNet Server Disconnected

 * }

Q58294

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a

-

SYMPTOMS
If your network administrator disconnects you from an MSNet server, or the server is rebooted while you are connected, Microsoft Windows 3.0 enhanced mode drops to the MS-DOS command prompt when you access the disconnected network resource.

CAUSE
This is not a Windows problem; it occurs in a similar manner at the MS-DOS command prompt outside of Windows. If you access the disconnected net drive from MS-DOS, your system will stop responding (hang). This is an inherent problem in most MSNet-redirector-based networks.

This problem does not occur in Microsoft LAN Manager or Novell NetWare.
