[comp.protocols.nfs] Weird PC-NFS / Windows 3.0 Interaction

rhoward@msd.gatech.edu (Robert L. Howard) (12/20/90)

I recently discovered (after much pulling out of hair) that there msut
be some interaction between mounted printers and Windows 3.0. Here
are the facts:

- You can use PC-NFS *under* Windows (i.e., load it before starting
  Windows)

- To use LPT[12]: you should select the LPT[12].OS2 entries

- LPT3 works with no problem

Well there is one trick to this!

- LPT3 works with no problem, iff you have a printer mounted (via PC-NFS)
  on LPT2.  If not, redirection to LPT3 won't work.

Has anyone experienced this problem?  Anyone care to confirm it?  It
behaved the same way on both computers that I tested....
