2936.0. "connecting to LAN Manager share over slow WAN" by QCAV01::JAYARAM () Mon May 26 1997 08:42

    hello all,
    
    		This is regarding with connecting to a LAN manager
    share over a slow WAN link  from Windows 95
    
    When I try to connect to a Lan manager share over a congested
    Wan link I get an error as
    
    The network is busy
    
    or some times the error message is
    
    the computer or share you are trying to connect is either not available
    .. etc
    
    
    	This happens only when the Wan link is heavily used (during peak 
    	working hours).I am able to connect easily during sundays for
    	example.
    
    When the Lan manager share is not accessable i am able to ping
    the remote node in with about 30000 in the -w option
    
    The Lan manager share can be connected through an NT machine
    though it is very slow.
    Is there any registry setting that can be set in Windows 95
    by which it will have a longer tineout to access shares
    over the WAN.is there any other way out
    
    Thanks in advance
    jayaram
