SYMPTOMS
When you log on to a Windows NT Advanced Server from a WorkGroup Add-On For MS-DOS Client, this error message appears:

Error 55: This resource does not exist on the network.

This happens when you attempt to reconnect to the server after having restarted your computer without first logging off from a previous session to the same server. This only happens within a limitied time after restarting your computer. After that time the error will not occur.



WORKAROUND
You can work around this problem by adding the following lines to the [MS$NETBEUI] section of the file, PROTOCOL.INI:   NETBIOSRETRIES=4 NETBIOSTIMEOUT=1500 These values are estimates and may need to be tuned up or down.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows WorkGroup Add-On For MS-DOS Version 3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new information in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
