"Can't Find WP.FIL" When Connection From File |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: WordPerfect cannot reconnect to the file server when the connection gets broken; the error "Can't Find WP.FIL" file appears. When running off the network, a user enters WP, then lets the program sit for more than one hour, then continues where he left off and receives the error message. The problem and time period is related to the Auto-disconnect feature of the LAN Manager network. Solutions: This is working as designed. Once the connection with the file server is broken, WordPerfect cannot reconnect to the server. WP is a software application. By definition WPCorp is not responsible for any other layer of communication than the first layer (OSI Communication Standards). There are six different layers of communications. Each layer of communication is handled by a different component. These components may be software and/or hardware related. WPCorp is responsible for handing off its information to the operating system, which in turn hands it off to the hardware, which is then transmitted to the file server. If any of the steps of communication are interrupted, like losing connection to the server, then the error message will be displayed. This problem may be addressed in the next major release of WordPerfect as follows: changing the fault tolerances for errors like disconnect, and write into the software a way by which WP rerequests a connection. |
