SYMPTOMS
========
When a Windows 95 Distributed File System (DFS) client tries to connect to a DFS
network share that is unavailable, it may not attempt to connect to alternate
network shares on a DFS network share.
CAUSE
=====
This issue can occur if all of the following conditions exist:
- A DFS object points to multiple share points.
- One of these share points is deleted.
For example, if \\DFSsrv1\DFSroot\Volume1 points to 2 network shares,
\\DFSsrv1\Share1 and \\DFSsrv2\Share2, and \\DFSsrv1\Share1 is deleted (and is
no longer available), then a Windows 95 client does not try to connect to
\\DFSsrv2\Share2.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this issue, upgrade the Windows 95 DFS client from the following
Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/winfeatures/NTSDistrFile/default.asp
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95 and OEM
Service Release 2 (OSR2).
