SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade to Windows NT version 3.51, persistent NetWare connections are not available in File Manager. When you run NET USE from an MS-DOS Command Prompt, the NetWare connections appear as Unavailable.



CAUSE
When you use Gateway Service for NetWare (GSNW) or Client Service for NetWare (CSNW) in Windows NT version 3.5, the provider name for the NetWare network is NetWare Network. In Windows NT version 3.51, the NetWare network provider name has changed to NetWare Or Compatible Network. The provider name is stored in the user profile which precludes us from making the needed changes to allow the connections to carry over to the new version.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, remove the previous persistent connections and re-establish the connections again in Windows NT version 3.51.
