When you use an SMC 8432 adapter with an RPL client you will receive
the following error:
NOT USER LEVEL SEC!
RPLDISK.SYS
Error in server \\<ServerName>.
System files not found (Non-System disk).
CAUSE
By default, the entries in the Protocol.ini file for the RPL clients are in
lower case. When the RPL client parses through the Protocol.ini file, and
the drivername for the SMC adapter under the [smcpwr_nif] section is in
lower case, the RPL client will fail to start. Below is the default section
of the [smcpwr_nif] from the Protocol.ini file:
[smcpwr_nif]
drivername = smcpwr$
RESOLUTION
Modify the Protocol.ini file and ensure that the drivername for the SMC
adapter under the [smcpwr_nif] section is typed in upper case. A working
Protocol.ini file is referenced below:
[protman]
drivername = protman$
dynamic = yes
priority = netbeui
[netbeui_xif]
drivername = netbeui$
bindings = smcpwr_nif
names = 6
ncbs = 12
packets = 20
pipeline = 10
sessions = 6
stacksize = 512
lanabase = 0
[xnsnb_xif]
drivername = xnsnb$
bindings = smcpwr_nif
load = xnsnb[cbr]
lanabase = 1
[xnstp_xif]
drivername = xnstp$
bindings = smcpwr_nif
load = xnstp[ub]
lanabase = 1
[tcpip_xif]
drivername = TCPIP$
disabledhcp = (TCPIP_NO_DHCP)
ipaddress0 = (TCPIP_ADDRESS)
subnetmask0 = (TCPIP_SUBMASK)
defaultgateway0 = (TCPIP_GATEWAY)
tcpsegmentsize = 1450
tcpwindowsize = 1450
nbsessions = 6
load = tcptsr[c],tinyrfc[c],emsbfr[cr]
unload = "unloadt /notsr[dc]"
bindings = smcpwr_nif
lanabase = 1
[ipx_xif]
drivername = ipx$
load = ipxmark[u],ipx[u]
unload = ipxrel[c]
bindings = smcpwr_nif
lanabase = 1
[msdlc_xif]
drivername = msdlc$
bindings = smcpwr_nif
load = msdlc[ub]
unload = msdlc[u]
[smcpwr_nif]
drivername = SMCPWR$
