Rconsole - Workstation issue

We have had similar problems only in relation to our Cisco switch/router (it's a Catalyst 6006). I cleared the ARP cache and CAM tables and everything was fine thereafter.

Try the similar stuff with your network equipments.

Patty,

Check the Default Protocol Under the Novell Client Configuration Screen and the Protocol Preferences and Make Sure Ipx is First Protocol in the Protocol List. This should Fix it. I have found that 3.20 and 3.30 clients put IP first by default.

In addition to response Number two above, make sure that you check the frame type on your network card. If you are running ethernet, be sure that you have selected the proper frame type that you are running on your network (802.2 or 802.3) I had the same problem a few months back, and found this to be the issue. Hope things work out for you...

First, if you are running RCONSOLE from a server you are logged into, the basic network connection is there. Frame type mismatch, bad NIC cards, etc shouldn't be an issue. (Assuming you are connecting via IPX and not NWIP.) Try changing the shortcut properties for Rconsole. I alway give it 512bytes environment space, 450K of conventional memory, check protected, no ems, no xms and auto dpmi. On the misc tab be sure the "idle sensitivity" is all the way low, uncheck "always suspend" and "allow scrensaver". If it still won't display servers, try pressing [insert] and entering the server's address as nnnnnnnnnnnn:00000000000001 where "nn..nn" is the internal IPX address of the server.
If you still cannot connect, I'd remove and re-install nwlink IPX/SPX compatible protocol.
