SYMPTOMS
When you run Windows 95 with the Microsoft NetWare client and an application is executed on a Windows NT Server running File and Print Services for NetWare, the application is not displayed correctly. This problem does not occur when you execute an application from Novell NetWare version 3.x or 4.x or when you use Windows NT Workstation with the Microsoft NetWare client or Windows 95 with the Novell 32-bit client.
MORE INFORMATION
If the client sends the wrong task ID, the NetWare server, by default, ignores a close and sends back success. Windows NT File and Print Services actually close the file, causing problems for the application later when it tries to read the file.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
S E R V P A C K

Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information on the availability of this fix.
