|  | Just checked and same problem occurs on patched VAX as well.
When I try from W95 clients, no problems.
Am I overlooking something obvious here or is the patch not
doing what it's supposed to do?

|  |     Mario,
    
    You too eh?  See 4242.  I think it's WNT that's the culprit.
    But I'm not sure it's even a problem...guess a trace will
    tell the story.

|  |     This is normal behaviour, don't worry.
    
    I normally take 2 aspirines and go to bed early
    when I encounter NT workstations.

|  | And when you get up in the morning the problem has gone away?
I wish this was the case for me :-(
Confused...

|  |     OK lets explain
    
    Windows NT when you log on remembers the username and
    password.
    
    When you make a connection to a share, it uses that
    username and password, or the ones you supplied when
    connecting to the share. This session shows up as a
    session with your username.
    
    Now at some moment NT decides to do some administrative
    functions. It therefore connects to IPC$. When it connects
    to IPC$ it uses a blank username (don't ask me why??).
    
    This IPC$ connection is left open for the duration of
    your username's life (login time). Now when you show this
    session it either shows a blank username or if guest is
    enabled the name guest. 
    
    This is where the session comes from.
    
    The session patch you are talking about resolves the
    problem where you would get the noaccess errors.
    When the IPC$ connection with the blank username
    was made, the origional session (with the username)
    was by accident marked as a blank session.
    
    LM uses blank usernames to identify a session that
    is only allowed to do a limited nr of smb requests.
    So for other requests the server returns a noaccess
    error.

    Hope you're no longer confused but if you still are,
    I still have some aspirines ;-)

|  | Here's a twist to the problem:
Assuming I had selected the "reconnect at logon" box when
I connected to the share on the PATHWORKS server:
If I logoff from the NT 4.0 WKSTN I then see that the session
on the server disappears.
If I log back on and re-click on the network drive, to 
re-establish the session, then check on the server, I then
only see my 1 session.  The one with GUEST disappears.
