You need to go into file/lock activity and select the #1 file. This will
show you all of the conncetions that have the file open. Next you go find
the offending connection on the connections screen and press delete. If
you don't find on the #1 file, check #2,#3, and #4. If the you can't see
the connection from the console, but the files are still locked, make sure
you have the latest Netware 4 service pack installed.
Upgrade to Netware 5. I never have this problem.
