SYMPTOMS
When you use the Net Watcher tool to disconnect a client user, the user receives no disconnect notification and can still access the network resource.



CAUSE
When a user is disconnected from a network resource by Net Watcher, Windows 95/98 automatically reconnects the user when he or she tries to access the network resource.



RESOLUTION
To disconnect a user so that he or she cannot reconnect, use either of the following methods:


 * Remove the access privileges to the resource.
 * Change the password for the resource.



STATUS
This behavior is by design to allow Windows 95 to restore a lost network connection without user input.
