SYMPTOMS

When you are running FoxPro/LAN version 2.0 on a LANtastic network workstation, the following error messages may occur: 

   Sharing Buffers Exceeded

   -or-

   System Resources Exhausted

RESOLUTION

To resolve the problem, do the following:

1. Increase the number of files in the CONFIG.SYS file to at least 

   100.
2. Include a HIMEM.SYS command in the CONFIG.SYS file and add the 
   /NumHandles=128 parameter to the HIMEM.SYS command.
3. Add /F:5120 /L:500 to the SHARE.EXE command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT 
   file.
4. Contact Artisoft to make sure you are using the latest version of 
   LANtastic.
5. Turn off any disk-caching utilities, since these might cause FoxPro 
   to lock up or corrupt files.
