the not-logged-in appears when in a dos enviroment either vlm or netx is run,
the shell makes a connection to the server and waits for the user to loggin.
the
diference is that after a predetermind time the server kicks the
ot-logged-in
connection off [nliclear.nlm] and so it disapears, with win95 and nt its a
it
diferent as the workstation sees the connection go and re-establishes it,
hence
the continual not-logged-in from win95 and nt machens.

 At least, that's what I got out of some of the articles in the MS KB.
MS has a service pack for Access 2.0 that will fix the problem.  Don't

BUT i cna't get it!!
Does anybody have a idea about the problem or getting this patch??

Nope.. those are search drives, I have 3 volumes mapped as 'F', 'G' and 'I'

This is more or less (with many twists and turns) what I have done. I

the demo 2 user license on the new box and rudimentary NDS, I used arcserve

backup the oldserver and spit it onto the new one. The only thing that now

to wait for our computer centre for that. (They retain all such discs)
