The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups, version 3.11
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you use the NET USE command to a server and share that does not exist, the
following error message may appear:
Error 59: An Unexpected Network Error Has Occurred
In addition, attempting to connect to a nonexistent server and share using File
Manager causes the system to stop responding (hang). To quit Windows for
Workgroups version 3.11 and reboot the computer, press CTRL+ALT+DEL and press
ENTER when the blue screen appears.
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs if the "DNS for Windows Name Resolution" option is enabled
and the IP address for a DNS server is not specified in the DNS Server search
list.
RESOLUTION
==========
If a DNS Server is not available, disable the "DNS for Windows Name Resolution"
option under Windows Networking Parameters in the Advanced Microsoft TCP/IP
Configuration dialog box. If a DNS Server is available, make sure that its IP
address is added to the DNS Server search list in the Microsoft TCP/IP -
Connectivity Configuration dialog box.
MORE INFORMATION
================
When you attempt to connect to a nonexistent network server and share using the
NET USE command, the expected error message is "Error 53: The computer name
specified in the network path cannot be located." If the same operation is
performed in File Manager, the same error message should appear in a STOP
message dialog box without "Error 53."
