Hi,
I had a quick search but I cannot see anything relevant so I will ask:-
If I am sharing a disk partition between two Win95 systems, and the
network goes away, or the sharing m/c is rebooted, when the network
connection is restablished, and the shared drive is remapped, files on
the drive are no longer accessible to the sharing m/c . An error
message is posted on the system by the application trying to access the
file, saying file is already in use.
There is no time out, this situation lasts until the system with the
physical disk partition is rebooted.... (On shutdown this system posts a
warning, files in use by other user, do you really want to shut down!,
This in despite the fact the other m/c may be off the net at this
time!)
How do I set a system parameter to break and destroy these logical
connections when the network goes down? (inactivity timer or what? where?)
Or conversely how do I set a system parameter so that when the network
comes back the shared files use the original logical connection, and do
not set up a new one.
regards
Patrick

Is that just so for files used by this "application"?

Hi,
Yes
If I run Exchange on the m/c taking the share, and have a personal
folder, Mail.pst as the resource in the shared partition, then after
the network break and reconnect I cannot use the mail.pst file until
the "host" m/c is rebooted.
Also before the "host" m/c is rebooted, the batch backup program fails on
this m/c saying the Mail.pst file is in use by another user.
I have not tried to see if any file in the shared partition is
accessible after network drops, so far I have only been concerned with
the one I really needed but couldn't get to!
