SYMPTOMS
When you use IBM LAN Bridge Manager version 2.0 with File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) 3.51, the FPNW server fails to download and update files on the NetWare client computer (using NETX or VLM).



CAUSE
When the shareable flag is returned as "yes" for replicating files, the IBM Lan Bridge Manager software does not copy some of the server based files to the client.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.


 * 1) Run Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).
 * 2) From the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following key:

\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\FPNW\Parameters
 * 1) From the Edit menu, select Add Value.
 * 2) Add the following:

Value Name: ReturnShareableFlag

Data Type: REG_DWORD

Data: 0
 * 1) Choose OK and quit Registry Editor.
 * 2) Shutdown and restart Windows NT.
