Typical Errors

When the client tries to reach a server in a remote network over a
PPP connection, he must wait a long time and the connection is
possibly terminated.
In some cases, the local router erroneously tells the client that a server can be
reached.
➤
Check if the server has crashed and that the aging interval has not yet ex-
pired. If necessary, change the setting of Send RIP/SAP Updates under
WAN P
ARTNER
➧
E
DIT
➧
IPX.
➤
Check if the server and the router in the remote network are simultaneously
inactive (e.g. because of a power cut). Briefly set the WAN interface of the
corresponding WAN partner with the command
ifconfig
to down and
then back to dialup, in order to delete the routes and services learned by
the WAN partner.
I can’t change to a network drive on the client’s station.
➤
The file server may be "invisible" to the client. Proceed as described under
"A server exists in a remote LAN ...".
➤
Check if all the licenses available on the server are in use.
ISDN connections are constantly reconnected.
It is not only RIP/SAP packets that cause ISDN connections to be set up.
➤
Check if there is an entry in the MIB table ipxDenyTable that is preventing
Novell serialization packets from being sent over the dialup connection.
➤
Check under
IPX if you have activated enable IPX spoofing and enable
SPX spoofing with yes.
➤
Check if any RCONSOLE is running with a constantly changing screen
(e.g. MONITOR, IPXCON, TCPCON, screensaver, etc.).
➤
Check if NetBIOS over IPX is used in the LAN (Windows for Workgroups,
NT, Win 95). If necessary, select
no or on LAN only under IPX for NetBIOS
Broadcast replication.
➤
Check if NDS Replica Synchronization is active (for Netware 4.1 servers
and higher).
