If a user is not logged into the network, but still has a connection number allocated, then that user is blocking other users from connecting to the server. The solution: NetCLEAR! NetCLEAR will periodically scan your connections for unlogged users. Those unlogged connections will be cleared, allowing another workstation to attach to the File Server. Software Components NetCLEAR consists of a single NetWare Loadable Module (NLM). The Fine Print Software Copyright Notice © 1994 Citadel Computer Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.
