SYMPTOMS
If you start Paradox for DOS version 4.0 or 4.5 by running PDOXDOS.PIF on Windows NT version 3.5 using Client Service for NetWare (CSNW) to connect to a NetWare server and you "shell out" to a command prompt from Paradox and run a few MS-DOS commands, Windows NT stops responding (hangs).



CAUSE
You used the NUPDATE utility to configure Paradox for a Microsoft LAN Manager network. However, because you are using CSNW, you are actually using a NetWare network protocol and must configure Paradox for a Novell network.



RESOLUTION
When you run Paradox on a Windows NT computer using CSNW to connect to a NetWare server, configure Paradox for a Novell network.

NOTE: The same does not hold true when using Microsoft Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW). When you run Paradox on a Windows NT computer connecting to a NetWare server through a Windows NT GSNW gateway, you are actually using an Server Message Block (SMB) network protocol and must configure Paradox for a Microsoft LAN Manager network.
