This article was previously published under Q129726 SYMPTOMS
You can use the Ping tool to ping your own computer, but you cannot access
the network using the TCP/IP protocol. You may receive the following error
message when you try to access the network:
Request timed out
CAUSE
This problem can occur when you are using a Novell NetWare ODI driver and
the Ethernet_II frame type is not listed in the proper NET.CFG file.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, add Ethernet_II to the NET.CFG file. Make sure you
edit the correct NET.CFG file--NET.CFG is usually read from the same
directory as LSL.COM. Note that you should not make Ethernet_II the first
frame type listed in the file.
To add Ethernet_II to the NET.CFG file, follow these steps:
- Use any text editor (such as WordPad) to open the NET.CFG file.
- Add "ETHERNET_II" (without quotation marks) so that it is the last
frame type listed in the "LINK DRIVER <MLID>" section. For example,
after you add "ETHERNET_II" the section might look like:
LINK DRIVER <MLID>
FRAME ETHERNET_802.2
FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
FRAME ETHERNET_SNAP
FRAME ETHERNET_II
- Save and close the NET.CFG file.
- Restart your computer.
