SYMPTOMS
When you are using the Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) or the Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW), the following command lines do not work:

  dir \\ndstreename\cn=server_object.container.container\volume\subdir

dir \\ndstreename\volume_object.container.container\subdir



CAUSE
The Multiple UNC Provider (MUP) does not correctly handle UNC names consisting of server objects instead of volume objects.



RESOLUTION
Use volume objects when using the MUP (and UNC path names).

An example of a successful command would be to do a directory listing to the container and not to the lower level subdirectory. For example:

     Dir \\NTMARST\RED_41A_SYS.MAIN.MS
