Difficulties Locating the Network Cache Changer in NetWare

Frame Types - Ethernet

There are basically two different frame types on Ethernet networks, Ethernet II or IEEE 802.3. The IEEE 802.3 frame can be encapsulated in an IEEE 802.2 LLC frame or a SNAP frame. All four frame types are enabled by default with the value auto, which means that your DRM-6NX automatically adapts to the frame type used on the network. This will meet most requirements. Frame types used in your network will be supported by the DRM-6NX.

However, depending upon the network, you may want the DRM-6NX to ignore some frame types. If your net- work has multiple sections with different frame types on some of the sections, then the Changer might log on to the wrong network area and adapt to a frame type incompatible with the intended network section. For this reason, you have the option to disable specific frame types by changing the parameter from auto to off.

Alternatively, mark the frame type with the eight digit number appropriate to your network segment , such as 00-3F-B5-01. Usually marking is un-necessary as the auto-detection will handle most situations. To create this mark, edit the config.sys file using a text editor. Althought you cannot enter the network number from a Web Browser, you may display the frame type and change the value to auto or off if required.

Problems Locating the Domain Controller in Windows (SMB)

If there is a problem locating the primary domain controller when running user-level security mode in Windows (SMB), all users will be denied access to the DRM-6NX.

Web Browser

To verify configuration settings for the DRM-6NX web interface, access the Administration pages. Click on Network Settings and Detailed View then open the Windows (SMB) tab.

Local Administrator Account

To locate the Domain Controller in Windows NT, log on to the DRM-6NX as the local administrator. Note that a local administrator is not the same as an Administrator with an account on the domain.

In the Map Network Drive dialog, specify the following:

Path:	The DRM-6NX name
Connect as:	Server name\Administrator
Password:	The password set in the
	ServerPassword parameter

Example:

The host name of the DRM-6NX is cdserv.

Path: \\cdserv\root

Connect as: cdserv\Administrator

NOTE:

7In Windows 95, you cannot tell the SMB client to change domain and user when you are already logged in. Therefore, you cannot use the local administrator account to solve domain problems in the Windows 95 environment.
