SYMPTOMS
When you open Notepad to view a file on an IBM AS400 server, you may receive the following error message:

&quot;The specified server cannot perform the requested operation&quot;.



CAUSE
This problem can occur when the network redirector (Rdr.sys) incorporates additional checks to validate data that is returned from a remote server for the QueryInformationFile function. If less than the full structure size of data that you expect (but a minimum structure size that is still valid) is returned from a remote server, the client redirector returns the following error message to Notepad:

STATUS_INVALID_NETWORK_RESPONSE NTSTATUS 0xC00000C3

&quot;The network responded incorrectly&quot;.

Notepad maps this error to the following error:

ERROR_BAD_NET_RESP WINERROR 0x57

&quot;The specified server cannot perform the requested operation&quot;.
