Make sure the spelling for "NetWare DOS Requester" is spelled correctly. You will experience similar problems to yours if anything in there is not spelled correctly. Particularly the word Requester; sometimes we make a mistake and spell it requestor. Notice the "o" rather than what is supposed to be the letter "E". You can add in your network DOS requester setting of your net.cfg file the following: NetWare DOS Requester First network drive=f Force first network drive=f
