148 Server Operating System Administration Guide
Check the cables for proper termination. Make sure that cables are not
running close to sources of interference.
Make sure that the server network board is seated properly and is
initializing.
Make sure that a protocol is bound to each board and check the
configuration of the network boards. Then shut down the server, turn off
the power, and check the actual network board settings:
Make sure that all settings agree with the settings used to load the
driver. If you load the driver with an interrupt that conflicts with the
board's setting, the network board cannot broadcast on the network.
Make sure that the node address on the board is a legal address.
(Addresses 0 and FFFFFFFFFFFF are reserved; do not use them.)
Make sure that the memory range for the I/O ports and memory
addresses do not overlap. If there are conflicts, reconfigure the
equipment so that no conflicts exist.
Make sure that network boards do not conflict with other boards, the
monitor board, or ports in the server. Make sure that no two pieces of
hardware are using the same I/O port, interrupt, or memory address.
Avoid interrupts 2, 9, and 15.
Make sure that the network board works correctly; replace it if it doesn't.
Check the lists of certified products at
developer.novell.com/solutions). In the Hardware Category, select LAN
adapters or WAN adapters to make sure that the adapter works with
NetWare. Make sure that drivers are the latest versions.
Run VOLUMES at the server console. If volume SYS: is not mounted,
mount it. The server does not broadcast to the network until volume SYS:
is mounted.
Check workstation addresses and server node numbers.
Each node address on the network should be unique. Sometimes you can
find the problem by turning off all workstations and then turning them
back on one at a time.
Make sure that workstations are using the correct frame type.
Have a user log in to the network from a workstation. In NetWare Remote
Manager, click the Connections link in the navigation frame.
If the Connections list shows the user's login name, the server is receiving
and responding to the workstation's request.
