SYMPTOMS
This error message is returned when you attempt to log in on RPL workstations and have login scripts enabled:

RPLDISK.SYS

Error in Server \\testsrv

Server not responding: \\testsrv



CAUSE
During the command &quot;NET START RDR (COMPUTER_NAME) ....&quot; you are not yet logged on, so you do not have write permission in the LMUSER.INI file, where new connections are stored.



RESOLUTION
Put the line &quot;saveconnections = no&quot; in the [network] section of LANMAN.INI for the RPL workstation. Turning this persistent connections option off lets you use logon scripts defined for your computer name.

The workaround some users have tried is to log in twice: log in the first time to let the remote login timeout and log in as the machine name, then log off and log in a second time as the user. This allows you to log in and allows the log in scripts to execute correctly, but you have to leave the initial log in alone and not interfere by allowing the machine to log in to the LAN. The resolution seems preferable to the workaround for this problem.
