When using Windows for Workgroups and ODI support for NetWare, I
was able to login before I installed the Windows for Workgroups
support for ODI. Now I can't see the server anymore.
You were probably using frame Ethernet_802.2 for the IPXODI to
connect to NetWare. The Windows for Workgroups network setup
program shuffles the NET.CFG frame types such that Ethernet_802.3
becomes the first. To solve this problem, just shuffle them back and
make sure the first frame type is the one your IPXODI needs to use; in
this case it is Ethernet_802.2.
When I do the NetWare ODI stack, VLM says "No server found." Or,
when I use NDIS2, everything loads but I can't see other machines on
the network.
1 IF using NetWare, try changing the first frame type in the
C:\NWCLIENT\NET.CFG file. Make sure you know what
frame type your NetWare server supports. IPX binds to the first
frame type in the NET.CFG file.
2 Try without loading Card and Socket Services, and leave only
the PRO/100 PC Card in the machine with no other cards in
there. This is always a good troubleshooting technique to create
a bare-bones environment.
3 Change INT setting in the C:\NWCLIENT\NET.CFG file. Some
machines use INT 5 for sound cards. Try changing the INT to 10
or 11 or 15.
If using ODI, use INT 11 in C:\NWCLIENT\NET.CFG.
If using NDIS2, use INT=11 in
C:\WINDOWS\PROTOCOL.INI.
4 Check and make sure that the memory used by the PRO/100 PC
Card is excluded from the EMM386 line in the CONFIG.SYS.
If it is already excluded, try changing memory to CC000. Make
sure to make corresponding changes in the EMM386.EXE
exclusion parameter in the CONFIG.SYS. For example:
X=CC00-CDFF
5 Try swapping cards or cables whenever possible during trouble-
shooting.
6 Always do a COLD BOOT during troubleshooting.
