-
- SYMPTOM
-
- When running the Quicken finance software and printing to a NetWare Lite
- captured printer, Quicken printing fails with the following message:
-
- MESSAGE
-
- Can't print to LPT1
-
- CAUSE
-
- A bug in CLIENT.EXE caused the problem.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- File attributes are being received across the network.
-
- CAUSE
-
- A problem with OPENDEV.PAT caused the symptom.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- When a client station has open files on a NetWare Lite server and the
- client reboots with the files still open, sometimes the files will not be
- closed when the client reconnects or when watchdog clears the station
- connection.
-
- CAUSE
-
- A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the problem.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- NetWare Lite print jobs are being lost when the printer has been turned
- off or taken offline.
-
- CAUSE
-
- A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the problem.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- When using the NET CAPTURE or NET PRINT commands as the first commands
- from a client to a server that has just been rebooted, the following
- messages will be displayed and the command will fail:
-
- MESSAGE
-
- Redirect device -- Too many open files.
-
- or
-
- MESSAGE
-
- Write file -- Access denied.
-
- CAUSE
-
- A bug in CLIENT.EXE causes the reconnection between server and client to
- fail when the NET CAPTURE or NET PRINT commands are issued by a client to
- a server that has just been rebooted. Subsequent NET CAPTURE or NET
- PRINT commands from the client station will work normally.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- Printer output that has been captured through NetWare Lite is corrupted.
-
- CAUSE
-
- A bug in CLIENT.EXE caused certain applications run on a client/server
- with a local printer to produce printer output that has been corrupted.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- The NetWare Lite server appears to hang when loading applications in
- Window's startup box.
-
- CAUSE
-
- When automatically loading applications with Windows 3.1 and running
- NetWare Lite, a bug in SERVER.EXE caused the server to not respond until
- some of the automatically loaded applications were closed.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- When running an application that performs background printing on a
- server/client with a printer connected locally, the station locks. Some
- applications that exhibit this problem (not limited to) are Foxpro,
- Mas90, Clipper, WordPerfect, PeachTree, Timeslip, Microfocus Cobol, and
- Red Wing.
-
- CAUSE
-
- A bug in CLIENT.EXE caused applications doing background printing on a
- NetWare Lite server/client where printing is captured to a printer
- connected locally to experience a server lock up sometimes.
-
- The problem requires the station to be rebooted. Each time the station
- is rebooted because of this problem, lost clusters are left on the hard
- disk. If this happens enough times without running "chkdsk /f" the FAT
- table will become corrupted.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- When using IBM ValuePoint models 425sx or 433dx and pressing the
- <Ctrl>+<Alt> keys to reboot the server or when a popup printer status
- screen is being displayed, the video screen switches to 40 column mode.
-
- CAUSE
-
- A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the monitor to switch to the 40 column mode.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- Print jobs sent to an offline printer will hang Windows if Windows is
- running in a super VGA mode, such as 8514.
-
- CAUSE
-
- NetWare Lite uses a popup message box to indicate the status of the
- printer. A bug in SERVER.EXE causes the popup message box to hang
- Windows.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- With the DoubleSpace device driver, nonexistent drives get set to valid
- physical drives after running the NET utility.
-
- CAUSE
-
- MS-DOS 6.00 changed the way the pointer to the Drive Parameter Block
- (DPB) is used in the Current Directory Structure (CDS). CLIENT.EXE was
- setting a drive status to "valid physical drive" after using the drive as
- a network drive.
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- The DOS rename file command fails on a NetWare Lite mapped drive with the
- following message:
-
- MESSAGE
-
- PATH NOT FOUND
-
- CAUSE
-
- The file is located at the root directory.
-
- CAUSE
-
- The rename command uses a DOS wildcard character as shown in the
- following example:
-
- rename docfile.doc *.sav
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- When printing under NetWare Lite, applications may experience corruption
- on their print job under the following conditions:
-
- Applications making calls to the BIOS interrupt 17 function 0 to send
- characters to be printed under NetWare Lite,
-
- The application makes repeated calls to interrupt 17 function 0 to send
- the same character to the printer without reinitializing the character to
- be printed in register AL.
-
- CAUSE
-
- The problem is caused because the NetWare Lite client interrupt 17 ISR
- failed to preserve the contents of AL.
-
- SOLUTION
-
- Apply the patch files included in the L11G01.EXE file. (Before applying
- files in the FIELDTST subdirectory, read FIELDTST.TXT.)

- ALLGEMEINES
-
- Es ist nur eine einzige Diskette erforderlich, um alle im Netzwerk
- vorhandenen Kopien des Programms NetWare Lite zu korrigieren. Sie
- benötigen nicht eine Diskette für jede einzelne Kopie des Programms
- NetWare Lite.
-
- Vor Ausführung des Programms UPATCH sollten Sicherungskopien der Dateien
- angelegt werden. Nehmen Sie keine Fehlerkorrekturen in den Programm- und
- Treiberdateien auf den Originaldisketten von NetWare Lite vor.
-
- Wenn das Programm NetWare Lite auf der Festplatte eines Rechners
- installiert ist, befinden sich die zu korrigierenden Dateien im
- Verzeichnis C:\NWLITE.
-
- Wenn ein Rechner nicht über eine eigene Festplatte verfügt, befinden sich
- die zu korrigierenden Dateien auf der Diskette in der Arbeitsstation, die
- NetWare Lite Datei CLIENT.EXE enthält.
-
- Nehmen Sie die Fehlerkorrekturen in allen im Netzwerk befindlichen Kopien
- von NetWare Lite (alle Server und Clienten) mit Hilfe des Programms
- UPATCH vor, um eine einheitliche Funktionsweise des Netzwerks zu
- gewährleisten. Falls eine in einem Server oder Clienten vorhandene
- Programmkopie nicht korrigiert wird, wird diese weiterhin das
- unberechenbare Verhalten aufweisen, das die Fehlerkorrekturdatei
- verbessern soll.
-
- Lesen Sie sich den Abschnitt des vorliegenden Dokuments, der sich auf die
- jeweilige Fehlerkorrekturdatei bezieht, um ihre Funktion kennenzulernen.
- Die einzelnen Abschnitte erläutern den Anwendungsbereich, das Datum, die
- Prüfsummen und den Wirkungsbereich der Fehlerkorrektur sowie die Symptome
- des jeweils vor der Fehlerkorrektur aufgetretenen Problems.
-
- Die Fehlerkorrekturdateien können mit Hilfe des Programms UPATCH vor oder
- nach Ausführung von NetWare Lite angewendet werden, jedoch werden die
- Änderungen nur nach Neustart des Computers und Laden der korrigierten
- Dateien im Speicher wirksam.
