SYMPTOMS
========
When you try to view a network share using a Windows 95 or Windows 98-based
computer, you may be unable to do so. Also, if you try to use the NET VIEW
command to view a network share, you may receive the following error message:
Error 234: Additional data is available
CAUSE
=====
This behavior can occur because Windows 95/98 is unable to recognize a network
share name of more than 12 characters in length.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this problem, rename any network shares you want to view to 12
characters or less. For information about how to do this, click Start, click
Help, type "renaming" (without quotation marks), click Folders, and then click
Display.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95/98.
