SYMPTOMS
When you shut down Windows 95/98 and log on as a different user, persistent connections to a NetWare server may appear in My Computer with an "X" indicating they are disabled. When this occurs, the mapped drive is not available to any program until you double-click the drive in Windows Explorer.

Note that this behavior does not occur with drives mapped to Microsoft Windows NT or Windows 95/98 servers, or with UNC connections to NetWare servers.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you use the same user name and password for both the Windows NT and NetWare domains and your primary network logon is set to the Microsoft Client for Microsoft Networks.



RESOLUTION
Either change your user name on one of the domains, or set your primary network logon to the Microsoft Client for NetWare networks. To change your primary network logon, follow these steps:


 * 1) In Control Panel, double-click Network.
 * 2) In the Primary Network Logon box, click Client for NetWare Networks.
 * 3) Click OK. When you are prompted to restart your computer, do so.
