SYMPTOMS
========

A warning message stating "The File and Print Services for NetWare service is
not started on \\<computer name>" appears after you:

1. Install the administrative tools for File and Print Services for NetWare
  (FPNW) on a Windows NT Server or Workstation,

2. Run File Manager and call up the FPNW menu,

3. Choose the menu option Volumes and Volume Properties,

and

4. Click any of the options in that menu.

CAUSE
=====

The warning message appears because the drive that the user is attached to and
that the user is trying to manage does not contain any NetWare volumes.

RESOLUTION
==========

This problem can be resolved through the following procedure:

1. Connect to a Windows NT Server that is running the full installation of FPNW
  and that has either a SYSVOL subdirectory or the FPNW NetWare volumes.

2. Create a new FPNW volume by clicking anywhere in the directory tree,
  selecting FPNW from the menu bar, and selecting Create Volume.

NOTE: When you select FPNW from the menu bar, you can also use the Manage Volumes
option; however, if you select Volume Properties or Delete Volume, you will get
an error message stating: "The directory is not shared as a volume." This occurs
because the selected subdirectory is not an FPNW volume. Clicking on an FPNW
volume, such as SYSVOL, will allow the user to use these two menu commands.
