SYMPTOMS
If Microsoft Windows is running on a Novell workstation in 386 enhanced mode while connected to a Novell server, and the server stops functioning and/or disconnects the workstation, then the workstation may hang and display the error message:

System Error cannot read from device network.

This occurs even if Windows is installed in a standalone configuration. Novell is aware of the problem and is working to correct this.
