SUMMARY
If only one workstation at a time can successfully access Windows (installed on a network server), verify that the files in the shared Windows directory on the server have all been marked share and read only.

MORE INFORMATION
When Windows is installed on a network server, the Windows files in the shared directory must be flagged share and read only, as described in the &quot;Microsoft Windows User's Guide&quot; on page 554.

For Novell NetWare, this can be done from the shared Windows directory with the FLAG command:

"FLAG *.* SRO" To verify that the files are marked share and read only, type

"flag w:" where w: is the drive mapped to Windows.

Note: Similar problems may be caused by typing &quot;setup&quot; without &quot;/n&quot; on the server.
