I too am using Win3 and PC-NFS 3.0.1 and encountered the same drive
error messages for undefined PC-NFS drives. You can click on the
'cancel' button for each of the drives, but that is a bit crude. I 
called Sun and asked about it; they said that there is an option
switch for the PCNFS.SYS file that sets the number of network
drives. The syntax is 

                 /dN, where N is the number of PC-NFS drives.

For example, 

         DEVICE=C:\NFS\PCNFS.SYS /d5     defines 5 network drives.

I use this method and File Manager works perfectly. BTW, this switch
was supposed to be in the manual but was left out for some reason. 
Sun also stated that a new release of PC-NFS is in the works that 
will work better with Win3 and require less RAM. No info on when it
will appear, though. 

Hope this helps.
