Hi, I thought this problem was related to user licenses, but the server has had a 50 user license added. At different times during the day, the Workstations cannot write to a Novell volume. When you look at the properties of the drive, Explorer reports that it is only a 2GB drive, with 0 bytes free. If you then choose the properties of a folder on the drive, then check the properties of the volume, the total used and free space are reported correctly, 26GB, 28GB respectively. The Workstations are still using FAT16, so I thought that I was seeing the 2GB limit issue. If this was the problem, then I should never be able to see over 2GB, right? Any insight would be greatly appreciated

I left out that the server is running SP6a.

I think this may be a fault with the Novell Client. Try updating one 95/98 PC to Client 3.31 and see how you go -----------------------------------------------------
