4.4Detailed corrective actions

4.4.1Check the operation of the network Server PC

Check if the network is operational, do this by double-clicking on the 'Network Neighborhood' icon. If you are connected to an existing network you must see a list of computers in the network. If you run the Server PC stand-alone you must see just one PC (the Server PC!). If not, check the network setup of the PC, for a stand-alone Server PC see chapter: 2.9, PC networking

Client PC

Make sure the Server PC is working and configured properly (including the network connection).

Double-click on the 'Network Neighborhood' icon of the Client PC and see if the Server PC is present, if not find-out why and correct the problem.

4.4.2Make sure the operator of the A741 Repro System has

'Administrator' rights

The 'Administrator' rights are required on the Server PC only, not on the Client PC's. Typical sign of this problem is an error message that the path of the 'LOCAL SPOOL' directory cannot be found in the REGISTRY.

4.4.3Select the correct PCI slot for the A741 Repro System card

It is known that the A741 Repro System PCI controller may not work properly with all motherboards. Signs of trouble are problems with DMA transfers (see chapter: 4.9.6, Test command – F(ifo) ).

Until now this problem has only been seen on Pentium II systems, but may be present with other type of processors as well.
