SYMPTOMS
========

When you type "net start server" (without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS
command prompt, you may receive the following messages if you have created four
or more shares:

- Cannot Share (ERROR 2119)

- Insufficient Memory to perform this operation

CAUSE
=====

The maximum number of shares the MS-DOS peer server can support by default is
three.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, add the MaxShares= entry to the [network] section
of the SYSTEM.INI file to increase the maximum number of supported shares.

For example:

     [network]
     MaxShares=10
