SYMPTOMS
If you stop the Windows for Workgroups network redirector [by typing net stop ] from an MS-DOS command prompt inside of Windows for Workgroups running in standard mode, your machine may stop responding (hang) or restart. This may happen if the following is true:


 * You started the Windows for Workgroups network redirector before you started Windows for Workgroups by typing net start basic or net start enhanced at the MS-DOS command prompt.
 * You are using either EMM386 or QEMM386 as a memory manager.

It is not recommended that you stop the network redirector from an MS-DOS command prompt while running Windows. Close Windows for Workgroups and then stop the redirector.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups version 3.1. This problem does not occur in later versions of the product.
