Tech Note #1
Tip of the Month! A problem many technicians ran up against right off the bat with the new (Summer 1999 Windows 98 Second Edition) workstations was an error message arising when attempting to share folders. So long as user-level access was specified (as is our practice), you could not add any users or groups to the access dialog. Instead, you would get the message "You cannot view the list of users at this time. Please try again later." As a work-around, you could switch to share-level access and sharing would work, but this is not in keeping with Division standards.
Brian H found the solution.
Go into the Network control panel, and remove the NetBEUI binding for the Dial-Up Adapter only. That's the entry that looks like this:
NetBEUI -> Dial-Up Adapter
Remove this entry, keep any newer files, reboot, and presto! I believe you'll find the problem is resolved. (No, we don't know why.)
