Windows

I don't have a solution, but I do have a workaround.

1. From the Start Menu, choose choose Log Off...
2. From the log on dialog box, press Ctrl+Alt+Del
3. Click the shut down button.

I'd love to see a fix on this myself.

I've seen this with 3Com NIC's, but never with Intel. The previous answer will work, however.

Check your anti virus program for checking network drive

Also, if you are running any antivirus software, disable the "Scan floppies at Shutdown".
You gotta love how Microsoft royally screwed up something that should have been left alone [it takes long enough to start - I'd have preferred a longer shutdown as long as I knew the thing WOULD shut down]

we have a customer with the same problem. I have found that you need the latest driver for the 3com nics. The default for win98 does not work correctly, and the one with the diagnostics also does not work. It doesn't always happen, but in that case,it corrected the customers problem.
