- I've been running Windows on a Novell LAN for nearly a year now. It's
- not been without it's share of headaches, but everything's been running
- fairly smoothly until yesterday.
-
- When in a DOS session, be it at the command line or in a batch file,
- if something is piped to NUL ( i.e. dir >NUL ) i get a "sharing violation
- reading drive c - Abort, retry, fail" error. I get this at the command
- line and in my batch files.
-
- Testing has found that if the SHARE program is removed from the AUTOEXEC,
- this problem will dissappear, but I am hesitant to remove it from all 60 of
- my machines.
-
- The funny thing, and I don't have the slightest idea if this is related,
- is that this problem happened the day after our data processing department
- upgraded the cards in our network hub. Can this possibly be the problem?
-
- Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
