Title: 3Server3 File Delete Error:NET -804

When erasing more than approx. 5 files with "*.*" , error NET -
804 pops up with "Network Busy,  Abort, Retry, Ignore?"  All made
links drop (error from ibm side). The way the network deals with
a del *.* is that just one server message buffer request is
sent to delete all the files, instead of one being sent for
each file.  So, that request goes off and the server goes to work
deleting all of the files.  Meanwhile the station is back there
waiting for a response.  It expects a response back from
the server in 15 seconds.  If it doesn't get it, you get the
NET804 error.  If you ignore that and let the network come back
on its own, it will not break the links.  Another way to avoid it
is to change the local time-out parameter on the nb line of
workstation autoexec. It is the fifth parameter on the
line and the default is 15 seconds.  Changing it to 30 or 45
should take care of it.  It is also possible with full NetBIOS to
disable the NET804 errors altogether.  I believe that is with the
/c parameter on the NetBIOS line. (<--least desireable solution)
