The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.5
This article was previously published under Q147160 SYMPTOMS
In the MS-DOS version of the Mail External program (EXTERNAL.EXE), the
following errors may occur:
Could not logon to the server.
Invalid path. Reading master file. Could not connect to drive.
The desired file server was not found. Reading master file. Could not
connect to drive.
CAUSE
The errors can occur when you use the Novell VLM for accessing NetWare
servers.
The Novell VLM is unable to establish a network connection to a server.
Under certain conditions these errors may occur indicating that the server
is unavailable. The errors may continue to occur due to the VLMs response
to the creation of a network connection.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the network effecting the
Microsoft MTA, the Mail External for MS-DOS. A fix for this problem has
been developed by Novell.
Contact Microsoft Product Support Services for more information on the
availability of this fix.
