SYMPTOMS
An Int21 call, Random Write (22H), from a client running Windows for Workgroups or Windows95 to Windows NT fails. As a result, if you run an older application on the client that relies on the Int21 call, you cannot write to a network drive on computer running Windows NT server.



CAUSE
Reading the trace on SMB Response Open&X from Windows NT, the Open Mode is 0x00FF instead of 0x0072.



WORKAROUND
Use Handler functions instead of FCB calls.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, install the fix mentioned below.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. A fix to this problem is in development, but has not been regression-tested and may be destabilizing in production environments. Microsoft does not recommend implementing this fix at this time. Contact Microsoft Product Support Services for more information on the availability of this fix.
