The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11

SYMPTOMS

When you start or exit Windows for Workgroups, the following error message may be displayed:

   An error occurred while trying to reconnect (local identifier) to
   (shared resource) SYSXXXX.

This error may occur more than once, and may reference the same or different shares.

WORKAROUND

Information for persistent connections is stored in the CONNECT.DAT file. In certain circumstances, this file may become damaged (that is, when switching between MS-DOS and Windows level connectivity). You may delete this file to correct this problem.

NOTE: You will have to reestablish any persistent connections using File Manager, Print Manager, and/or NET.EXE (both shares you are connecting to, and resources you are sharing).
