IP connectivity
James Smith
loaded. I am using an IP boot disk. I noticed that the IP boot disk is
unable to connect to the server using pure IP unless IPX is loaded as
well on the boot disk. TCP/IP is loaded with no problem and I am able
to ping other machines. Is this normal? That is, does IPX have to be
loaded as well on the boot disk if the server I want to connect to has
both IP & IPX loaded? Thanks

off TRANNTA.NLM or you have the wrong version. The one you want is
actually from the Win95 version of Client32 -- specifically the version
that ships with NetWare 5.0. The TRANNTA.NLM version is v1.12.
If you do not have this version let me know and I'll see if I can dig it
up for you.

I did not leave out TRANNTA.NLM and I have the correct version (version
1.12 dated May 11, 1999). If I don't load IPX, then I get the familiar
error message (client32: server cannot be found----). On the other
hand, If I load IPX then I'll be able to connect to a cluster (thru its
IP address) with no problem. Please note that using the CHOICE command
prior to loading client32 did not help either

Preferred Server and Preferred Tree. Preferred Server will be ignored in
the NET.CFG you have. That could make the difference if you have more
than one server in your tree.
Also, if you're using source routing, you will need to issue the command:
LOAD SROUTE BOARD=1 DEF
before LOAD TCPIP. The DEF parameter configures the source routing driver
to send packets that have destinations that are not in the driver's
routing table as an all-routes broadcast.
It doesn't look like that is what you're doing, but just in case, there it
is.

Also, you don't need/want the PATH TCP_CFG or BIND statements if you are
using DHCP. All you need is:
Protocol TCPIP
If_Configuration DHCP [interface_name]
I don't see anywhere in NET.CFG where you define an interface called
LAN_NET. Unless you have more than one interface, you should leave this
off.
