the need to save files twice

[hwangtdc]

Hi, I have a problem on sevaral PCs with diferrent OS(95/98/NT/00). All
of them are connected to a netware 3.12 file server. When somebody try
to save some changes to a file they opened from the file server, they
get this message"there has been a network or permission error, your
network connection might be lost", if they try it again, most of the
time, it will save fine. But sometimes it will not, they can save it as
another name on the same network drive.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi, This is Hong again. I just saw an atical on novell's web 2910907.
It has the exact save error as I just described but it is happening on
NetWare 4.11. We are using 3.12 and the server does not have the
netshield.nlm discribed in the article.
I need some help.

Thanks.

Can you describe the configuration in some detail here?

Also, what are they opening and saving the file with? Is this a Microsoft
Word and/or Excel file? If so, check the Microsoft site for updates to those
products -- this is a known issue.
