The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
You may experience a general protection (GP) fault in Microsoft Windows for
Workgroups File Manager when you access files on a Beame & Whiteside Network
File System (BW-NFS) network drive.
CAUSE
=====
BW-NFS is capable of storing files with names longer than the MS-DOS limit of 8
characters plus a 3 character extension. You may receive the GP fault if this
long file name support feature is enabled on the BW-NFS server where BW-NFS is
installed as a primary or secondary network for Windows for Workgroups 3.11.
Note that the name of the file being manipulated does not have to exceed the
MS-DOS file name limits to cause this error.
WORKAROUND
==========
Disable the long file name support on the BW-NFS network server.
