The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
This article was previously published under Q168653 SYMPTOMS
When you are running RConsole to connect to a Novell NetWare server using
the SPX connection type, you may be unable to obtain a list of servers or
connect to a server. RConsole may report the following error messages:
SPXEstablishConnection failed to establish a connection to the desired
server.
The server connection was terminated by AllocateConnection.
A connection could not be established with the selected server.
CAUSE
When you are using locally administered network addresses on an Ethernet
network, the hardware MAC address of the NetWare server's network adapter
has eight or more trailing zeroes.
RESOLUTION
Modify the "NODE=xxxxxxxxxxxx" setting on the NetWare server so that the
last eight numbers are not all zeroes.
For information about how to change the "NODE=xxxxxxxxxxxx" setting on
a NetWare server, see the software documentation or contact the
manufacturer.
