well, performed sam additional tests, here are they, just for info
in fact, there are two branch offices each of them equiped with secondary
netware file server.
one of them is working ok with net use, allowing reconnect with different
user name.
the other doesn't allow. maybe the novell is misconfigured, but reinstalling
is not the option [not for this case]
it seems that win explorer keeps [its own] tracking of last net use.
net use command shows empty list.
after net use * /d drive letter disapears from folder list on win explorer.
but, right-clicking the netware volume still shows on "who i am" the login
name of last user.
monitor utility on netware console also shows that last net use user is
still logged on.
but login duration indicator is quite short, as if win2000 keeps
logout/login for each operation i perfom while browsing netware.
this situation appears for all win/xp win2000 computers on this branch
office lan.
so, my conclusion is that net use/win explorer/netware login-logout is for
some reason broken. maybe netware is slightly misconfigured, and ms net use
netware client is for some reason not enough smart, so is failing to
properly disconnect.
maybe some info about "win net use internals" may help me to investigate on
which point is novell [maybe] misconfigured and to try to re-adjust it
[without full reinstalling]
any hint?
