NetWare Connectivity Installation Cannot Find File Server (98845)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2
This article was previously published under Q98845 SYMPTOMS
During installation of NetWare connectivity, you cannot find a file server,
even after loading the correct versions of IPX/NETX and following the
NetWare installation procedure correctly.
CAUSE
This failure sometimes indicates that the system in question is running
Ethernet 802.2 (Ethernet 2 type) on the server. LAN Manager defaults to
802.3 Ethernet packets, and NetWare connectivity cannot find the file
server.
RESOLUTION
Use the Econfig utility from the Novell diagnostics disk to change the
IPX packet format on the workstation to 802.2 type. You should then be
able to find and attach to the file server.
