Chapter 7 Troubleshooting (10/100Base-T)

•When setting the Ethernet Interface up as a PSERVER, did you specify a destination on the Ethernet Interface (e.g., d1prn) for the printer name, and did you remember this name is case sensitive?

NOTE: Ethernet Interface destinations are case sensitive, so they will not be recognized if they are typed incorrectly. By default, they are all in lowercase. If you are setting up in a Netware 4.x or Netware 5.x environment, the destination must be renamed to uppercase to match the PCONSOLE or Netware Administrator entry. Please see “set dest <dest> name <new_name>” on page 344 for information on changing names.

•Does the destination you used in your PSERVER setup have the Novell service enabled? Please see “Commands” on page 327 for information on enabling/disabling services.

NOTE: The debug information that follows can be found by trying to telnet the Ethernet Interface and issuing the commands given or launching a browser to the Novell status page on the Ethernet Interface (e.g., http://

192.168.11.9/networkNovellStatus.html).

•Find the “IPX Layer” secion on the Novell HTML status page. Check that a board has been bound to the Ethernet Interface and that the network number is correct for your network. If not, you may want to set a specific frame type for the Ethernet Interface to use.

•Find the “File Servers” section on the Novell HTML status page. If no file servers show up, then there is probably a problem with the network connection, or the Ethernet Interface is not on a Novell network. Find the “SAP” section on the Novell HTML status page to see if the Ethernet Interface is seeing any network activity.
