Digi MIL-3000FTX manual Troubleshooting DOS Tools, After Upgrade, Nbmon fpxxxxxx -d1

2.Fill in the proper NetBIOS name of FastPort.

3.Type net? at the DOS prompt to get more info. on the utilities.

B.2 Troubleshooting DOS Tools

B.2.1 DOS Tools

If there are problems installing and using the NetBIOS management tools, here are few suggestions:

•When using showprn.exe, and FastPort does not appear; issue the command with: -d0, -d1,-d2, -d3,-d4, -d5,-d6, or -d7switch:

showprn.exe -d1

This causes showprn to use an alternate stack to send the packet. This problem shows up sometimes in systems that have multiple NICs or multiple protocols loaded. If a -d1switch was used with the showprn.exe tool, use it on the NBMON command line:

nbmon fpxxxxxx -d1

•If the IPX is loaded and running on a system running Windows 95, the check box for Send NetBIOS over IPX should not be checked.

Send NetBIOS over IPX is located in the Control Panel--> Network--> IPX Compatible Protocol screen.

•Open up the Control Panel-->Networks screen. Choose NetBEUI protocol. Check the check-box marked Set this Protocol to be the Default Protocol. In Windows 95, it is located in the Advanced Options menu.

B.3 After Upgrade

An older FastPort that has recently been flash updated to version 6.1 may be configured with the invalid workgroup WORKGROUPS. Reset the device to factory defaults. This will give FastPort the valid default workgroup value WORKGROUP.
