755.0. "Is there a limit on the number of shares on win95" by CSC32::J_MACGOWN (CSC/CS Remote Support) Sat Apr 19 1997 17:40

    Hi,
    
    	Is there a limit on how many fileShares a Windows 95 NT Cluster
    client can see via the broswer? A customer has 256 shares setup on the
    cluster and the WIN95 cluster client (all their clients, not just one)
    only shows about 75 available via the Cluster Client browser. The
    client can see all of the shares using lanman and looking at the
    specific server. 
    
    Any clue as to why this is happening?
    
    Thanks,

755.1Enhancement needed for Windows clientCSC32::SCHMALSTIEGFri Apr 25 1997 14:129
    
    
    It seems that the Windows 95 client needs an enhancement, this was
    determined by a IPMT elevation. 
    
    The recommended workaround is to use IP failover.  IP failover for file
    shares is in field test at the moment and will be available in late May.
    
    
755.2Engineering is investigatingCSC32::V_STROUDMon May 05 1997 13:3511
Engineering is investigating.  The suggested workaround however,
is to use the NetBT file share access that is available
with 1.1 SP1 available with SP3 for 4.0.

This will not require a client piece of software and the changes
in the Operating system in SP3 will allow the browsing of these
shares.

If a change is made to the client, we will try and update it here.
