>>TITLE: N_GETCAST and N_ONCAST do not work with Windows 95 Microsoft Client for NetWare
>>PRODUCT(S):
NetLib (all versions) for Clipper
NetLib (all versions) for FoxPro DOS
NetLib (all versions) for FoxPro Windows
>>PLATFORMS(S):
Windows 95 with Microsoft Client for NetWare
>>SUMMARY:
Station does not "see" incoming broadcasts when using N_ONCAST
and/or N_GETCAST with Windows 95 Microsoft Client for NetWare.
>>MORE INFORMATION:
This is due to an incompatibility between the Microsoft Windows 95
Client for NetWare and the NetWare SEND command. See Microsoft
KB article Q146212.
>>RESOLUTION/FIX:
There is currently no fix for this. The Microsoft KB article
recommends using the NetWare NETX or VLM client instead. Another
alternative is to use Novell Client32 for Windows 95.
If you wish to keep using the Microsoft Client, you can use
N_IPXSEND, N_IPXRECV and N_ONIPX as an alternative to N_CAST,
N_GETCAST and N_ONCAST, respectively. However, this will not
resolve the problem of broadcast messages generated by the server
or by the Netware SEND.EXE command.
