PRB: NET VIEW Command Not Supported on MS-NET Servers ID Number: Q63637

2.00 OS/2

Summary: SYMPTOMS Doing a NET VIEW on an MS-NET server from an OS/2 LAN Manager version 2.0 server results in an OS/2 error 50, followed by a “SYS0050: network request is not supported” error.

CAUSE This is expected behavior for NET VIEWs performed on MS-NET servers from OS/2 LAN Manager 2.0 servers or workstations because NET VIEW requires a mailslot, and mailslots are not supported under MS-NET.

An OS/2 error 50 should not occur when doing a NET VIEW command on an OS/2 LAN Manager 2.0 server.
