AppleShare Windows Client: Best Routing & Lost Packets

This article describes a problem with NSI 1.5 installed on AppleShare File Servers when AppleShare Client for Windows PCs transfer large amounts of data.
The AppleShare Client does not use Best Routing completely. Without Best Routing, a problem may occur which causes the router to pass the returning packet to another router, rather than to the PC workstation. The Network Software Installer (NSI) 1.5.1 installed on the AppleShare server fixes this. Be sure NSI 1.5.1 is installed on the server.
