SYMPTOMS

After you install Microsoft's TCP/IP-32 stack on your computer running Windows for Workgroups 3.1x and the NetWare IPXODI real-mode stack, the client can PING itself, but attempts to PING other IP addresses result in "Request timed out" messages.

CAUSE

The NetWare client file, NET.CFG, does not contain entries for all of the four ethernet frame types or the two token-ring frame types.

RESOLUTION

Open the NetWare file, NET.CFG, with a text editor. Under the Link Driver section heading make sure all four frame types are specified. Make sure the first frame type listed is the primary frame type you use to connect to NetWare servers. For example:

  • If you have an Ethernet network:
       Link Driver NE2000
          Frame Ethernet_802.2
          Frame Ethernet_802.3
          Frame Ethernet_II
          Frame Ethernet_SNAP
       PORT 320
    
       INT 5
       MEM D0000
    
       NetWare DOS Requester
          FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F
    						
    NOTE: By default Microsoft's TCP/IP-32 stack uses the ETHERNET_II Frame to communicate on the network. -or-

  • If you have a Token-ring network:
       Link Driver TOKEN
          Frame Token-ring
          Frame Token-ring_SNAP
       PORT 320
    
       INT 5
       MEM D0000
    
       NetWare DOS Requester
          FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F
