PSERVER Setup

195

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

NOTE: NIC 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

name

” on page -322 for information on

changing names.

Does the destination you used in your PSERVER setup have
the Novell service enabled? Please see “Commands” on page
305
for information on enabling/disabling services.

NOTE: The debug information that follows can be found by trying

to telnet the NIC and issuing the commands given or
launching a browser to the Novell status page on the NIC
(e.g., http://192.168.11.9/

networkNovellStatus.html

).

Try doing a debug nest ipx telnet command on the NIC (or
find the “IPX Layer” section on the Novell HTML status page).
Check that a board has been bound to the NIC and that the
network number is correct for your network. If not, you may
want to set a specific frame type for the NIC to use. You can
find out what frame type is bound to which board number using
the debug nest odi

command (or from the “ODI Layer”

section on the Novell HTML status page).

Try a debug nest fserver telnet command (or 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 NIC is not on a Novell network. Try
a debug nest sap telnet command (or find the “SAP” section
on the Novell HTML status page) to see if the NIC is seeing any
network activity.
