APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11

-



This article was previously published under Q112736



SYMPTOMS
When you quit Windows for Workgroups 3.11, you may receive the following error message:

There are 1 user(s) connected to your computer. Quitting Windows for Workgroups will disconnect them. Do you want to continue?

When you run Net Watcher, you find a connection to your machine, even if you do not have any shared resources. The machine name is displayed in the left side of the Net Watcher window, but no shares are displayed in the right side of the Net Watcher window.



CAUSE
Such connections are part of the browsing system. The connections typically exist only for a few seconds and occur when your machine has been selected as the browse master or browser backup. You are more likely to notice this problem if you are using a slower 80386 machine.



MORE INFORMATION
Machines appear in Net Watcher when a machine has connected to the IPC$ share, which is the share to which browse masters from other domains and browser backups connect in order to get the name of browser backups and the current list of machines on the workgroup or domain. Although this connection usually lasts only second before being terminated, the connection may last longer on very large networks.

Additional query words: 3.11 netwatch.exe drive dirves directory directories
