SYMPTOMS
Computers running the Windows for Workgroups, Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS, or Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS with the real mode redirector direct hosting over IPX may fail to be validated by a domain controller and display an access denied error message. The computer may not be able to connect to network drives.

This problem occurs when you are using either Microsoft NWLINK.EXE or Novell's IPX protocols but only over Token Ring. The problem also occurs when you use the updated redirector (NET.EXE) available from the CLIENT directory on the Windows NT Server version 3.5 CD.

NOTE: Under Windows NT 3.5, a new feature, direct hosting, was added to improve performance. This enables a Windows for Workgroups client to communicate directly with the server over IPX/SPX, rather than over NetBIOS.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups version 3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, add the following line to the [network] section of the SYSTEM.INI file:

  USELISTENECBS=YES

Additional query words: directhosting 3.11 prodnt wfw wfwg redir wc wgao tr
