The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5
Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit version 3.5

Page 520, Volume 1, of the Windows NT 3.5 Resource Guide lists and describes the Redirector (Rdr) Service Registry entries. The maximum amount of time the redirector waits for a connect or disconnect to complete is specified in the following registry subkey and value name of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree:

   \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters

   Value Name: ConnectTimeout
   Data Type:  REG_DWORD
   Data:       <Number of seconds>

   Default Time-out: 300 seconds (5 minutes)

The value name and default time-out period mentioned above are incorrect.

The correct information is as follows:

   Value Name: ConnectMaxTimeout
   Data Type:  REG_DWORD
   Data:       <Number of seconds>

   Default Time-out: 45 seconds
