coverage for too long.
Return the client to the range of wireless coverage and reestablish the
connection as explained in
Cause 2 —The driver used with NetWare Mobile IPX is not Network Event
Service Layer (NESL) aware, so IPX is not sent the receive notification of
data-link events.
Use only NESL-aware drivers. Reestablish the connection as explained in
"Re-establishing the Connection" on page
Cause 3 —The wireless board was removed when a process was running in
the background or the board was not correctly plugged in. This can happen
when you swap boards.
Simply reinsert the wireless or Personal Computer Memory Card International
Association (PCMCIA) board. Reestablish the connection as explained in
"Re-establishing the Connection" on page
Cause 4 —The PCMCIA board was swapped when the portable was in a low-

not sent to the drivers. This invariably causes computer lockup.
Do not swap the PCMCIA board when the portable is in a low-power state.

connection as follows:
In the Windows environment, you are asked to either retry or cancel the
current operation. Selecting Cancel terminates the connection to the
server you were accessing, and you must log in again to reestablish a
