Poor Performance Accessing Network Files with Basic Redirector

 * }

Q132778

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
You may experience poor performance using the real-mode basic redirector to access files on a Windows 95-based server running the Microsoft Client for Microsoft Networks.

CAUSE
The basic redirector incorrectly determines the maximum packet size when it communicates with a Windows 95-based server that is using share-level security. The maximum packet size the redirector uses is 207 bytes.

RESOLUTION
Change the Windows 95-based server to use user-level security. To make this change, follow these steps on the server:


 * 1) Use the right mouse button to click Network Neighborhood, then click Properties on the menu that appears.
 * 2) On the Access Control tab, click User-Level Access Control.
 * 3) Click OK.
