SYMPTOMS
========

When clients connect to a Microsoft File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW)
volume, they cannot see all the files in very large directories (anything over
approximately 16,000 files).

RESOLUTION
==========

Currently, the only workaround is to reduce the number of files and directories
to below 16,000.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in File and Print Services for
Windows NT. We will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
regarding this issue if it becomes available.
