 * Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS
Net Watcher indicates that another machine is attached, but it does not show that a file is open when one actually is.

CAUSE
Some applications open a file, read it into memory, and then close it to save file handles. When the application needs to write to the file, it reopens it. Examples of such applications are WordPad and Notepad.
