DOCUMENT:Q95113 01-OCT-1999 [win3x] TITLE :WFWG: Creating a WGPO on a Novell NetWare Server PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows 3.x Retail Product PROD/VER:WINDOWS:3.1 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= The "Windows for Workgroups Mail User's Guide" describes how to create a Workgroup Postoffice (WGPO) on a Novell NetWare server in Appendix B. Step 7 of these instructions directs the user to create the WGPO by following the steps explained in Chapter 5 of the Mail User's Guide. The last step in Chapter 5 is to share the newly created WGPO. This step should not be done since the post office will be on a NetWare server. If the user attempts to share the WGPO directory on the NetWare server, the following error message occurs: You can only share resources that are on your computer. If you are trying to share a printer, make sure that it is a local printer and that the TEMP directory is on a local drive. MORE INFORMATION ================ Sharing the NetWare postoffice is not necessary; connections to the WGPO are made with the ServerPath= entry in the MSMAIL.INI, which reflects the appropriate NetWare Workgroup Postoffice location. Sharing a redirected, network drive is not possible in Windows For Workgroups.
