2.
Check IPX circuit configuration
To check that the IPX circuits are correctly configured on each router repeat
steps 1 through 3 above, or enter the command:
show ipx circuit
Check that there are two circuits, and for each circuit check that the circuit
is enabled, uses the correct interface and encapsulation (for Ethernet
interfaces), the network number is correct and “On demand” is set to “no”.
If not, then repeat steps 1 through 3.
3.
Contact your authorised distributor or reseller for assistance
If you still have no visible routes to the remote router, contact your
authorised distributor or reseller for assistance.
Local Workstations Can Not Access Remote Servers
A number of different events can cause this problem. The following list of
events gives the most common:
1.
Move workstation to server LAN
Check that when the workstation is moved to the same LAN as the file
server, it is able to access the server. If not, the fault lies with the
configuration of the workstation or file server. Check with your Novell
network administrator.
2.
Check NET.CFG file
Take care with the workstation NET.CFG file. Always specify the
encapsulation (frame) as different LAN card drivers use different default
encapsulations.
3.
Check for file server on Remote Office router
Does the file server appear in the IPX service table of the Remote Office
router? If the server does not appear in the table, its presence is not
advertised to the local LAN. To check this, enter the command:
show ipx service
This should produce a display like that shown in
. The important
point is that the file server must appear in the service table on the Remote
Office router and there must be a route to the file server’s internal network
number. If there is, and it still does not work, contact your authorised
distributor or reseller for assistance.
