configuration of the workstation or file server. Check with your Novell
network administrator.
2. Check NET.CFG file
Take care with the workstation NET.CFG file. Always specify the
encapsulation (frame) as different LAN card drivers use different default
encapsulations.
3. Check for file server on Remote Office switch
Does the file server appear in the IPX service table of the Remote Office
switch? If the server does not appear in the table, its presence is not
advertised to the local LAN. To check this, enter the command:
SHOW IPX SERVICE
This should produce a display like that shown in Figure 32 on page 122. The
important point is that the file server must appear in the service table on the
Remote Office switch and there must be a route to the file server’s internal
network number. If there is, and it still does not work, contact your
authorised distributor or reseller for assistance.

To interpret output from the SHOW IPX SEVICES command see the Novell
IPX chapter in the Rapier Series Switch Software Reference .
4. Check route tables
To check the route tables on both switches, enter the command:
SHOW IPX ROUTE
Check for the presence of networks on the remote side of the wide area
network. If the remote network is missing from the route table on either
switch, enter the command:
RESET IPX
which resets the IPX routing software and forces the switches to broadcast
their routing and service tables.
