SYMPTOMS
========

When you log on to or map a drive to a Novell NetWare server, you receive a
message box with the following error message:

Windows NT 3.51:

  System error 224 occurred.

Windows NT 4.0:

  Incorrect password or unknown user name for \\<server>\<share>.

NOTE: Server and share are the respective NetWare names.

Windows 95:

  An unexplained error occurred while your computer tried to access the
  network. For information, contact your network administrator.

CAUSE
=====

The client connection limit on the NetWare server has been exceeded.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this problem, do one of the following:

- Disconnect some clients who may be logged on to the server but not currently
  using its services.

- Load NLICLEAR POLL=xxx CONN=xxx to clear NOT-LOGGED-IN connections. POLL=
  range is 15 to 3600 seconds. Default is 60 CONN= this number causes NLICLEAR
  to clear only those NOT-LOGGED-IN connections that occupy the last xxx
  connections.

- Purchase additional licenses from Novell so that the server is qualified to
  process the additional login requests.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Novell NetWare servers are sold with a limit to the number of concurrent clients
that can log on to the server. Additional license packs can be purchased to
extend the number of connections for which a server is licensed. When this limit
is reached, no additional clients will be successfully logged on to the server.
