SYMPTOMS
========

If you try to find a NetWare server by using the right mouse button to click My
Computer, clicking Find Computer on the menu that appears, and then using a
wildcard or incomplete name (partial matching), Windows NT does not find any
NetWare servers.

CAUSE
=====

Windows NT Explorer cannot locate NetWare servers with the Find Computer command
without the full server name.

RESOLUTION
==========

Use the command-line equivalent to list all available NetWare neighborhood
servers. To do so, type the following line at a command prompt:

  net view /n:nw

Once you have determined the correct server name, use the Find Computer command
with the full server name.
