Hi, I've been reading the threads here but still can't fix my IP Boot
Disk problem (ie. File server not found) Can someone please point me
in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Using DOS 6.22 -

My net.cfg file:

Protocol TCPIP
IP_ADDRESS xxx.xx.xxx.200

IP_ROUTER xxx.xx.xxx.1

IP_NETMASK 255.255.255.0

PATH TCP_CFG A:\CLIENT32

BIND ACCODI

NETWARE DOS REQUESTER

FILE CACHE LEVEL = 0

FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F

PREFERRED SERVER = xxx.xx.xxx.25

NAME CONTEXT = "OU=MED_DENT.O=MED_DENT"


My autoexec.bat file:

A:\CLIENT32\NIOS.EXE
LOAD A:\CLIENT32\NBIC32.NLM
LOAD A:\CLIENT32\LSLC32.NLM
LOAD A:\CLIENT32\CMSM.NLM
LOAD A:\CLIENT32\ETHERTSM.NLM
LOAD A:\CLIENT32\ACCODI.LAN Ethernet_II
LOAD A:\CLIENT32\TCPIP.NLM
LOAD A:\CLIENT32\TRANNTA.NLM (using ver 1.12 as reccommended)
LOAD A:\CLIENT32\SRVLOC.NLM
LOAD A:\CLIENT32\CLIENT32.NLM


My config.sys file :

device=a:\himem.sys /testmem:off
files=40
buffers=40
lastdrive=z
stacks=9,256

I've also tried re-loading client32.nlm after getting the server not
found error with no success. Says that client32.nlm already loaded.
Please help. Thanks again.

One space? Unless it has changed and I missed it, it has always been 4
spaces.

I assume your post just didn't format correctly, but just in case, NET.CFG should be formatted as
follows:

Protocol TCPIP
IP_ADDRESS xxx.xx.xxx.200
IP_ROUTER xxx.xx.xxx.1
IP_NETMASK 255.255.255.0
PATH TCP_CFG A:\CLIENT32
BIND ACCODI

NETWARE DOS REQUESTER
FILE CACHE LEVEL = 0
FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F
PREFERRED SERVER = xxx.xx.xxx.25
NAME CONTEXT = "OU=MED_DENT.O=MED_DENT"

I would also add the command:
NetWare Protocol = NDS

If you do have Bindery Services or bindery servers in your network, make it:
NetWare Protocol = NDS BIND

You don't specify any NIC parameters here, and the syntax looks to be a little wrong concerning
protocol frame type. Maybe your driver is designed to use adapter defaults, I don't know. But
normally you would specify the PORT and INT settings here.

Example:

LOAD A:\CLIENT32\ACCODI.LAN Port=300 Int=10 Frame=Ethernet_II

Hi Barry,
indented parameters by 4 spaces and still no luck. Also
added port and interupt settings to the card:

LOAD A:\CLIENT32\ACCODI.LAN FRAME=Ethernet_II

As I have IPX/SPX loaded, I can connect to it via IPX no problems. But
not Pure IP. Any more suggestions? Thank you.

Can you ping the server?
