dsrepair

[Moncho]

When I run an unattended full repair on the master I get 15 error messages
related to network addresses from other servers. Then If i run it again i
will get zero errors. If I run it half hour later I will get those 15 error
messages again. It kind of happends every time i run it. Server is running
NDS 7 with DS.nlm 7.62c in a netware 5.1sp5 server. Any help will be very
appreciated.

A couple of questions.

What protocols are you using on your network for NDS communications ?
If IPX, check that you have SAP 278 open for Server to Server
communications. If IP, make sure you have DNS setup on all the boxes
and or SLP configured.

When you say you see 15 errors, how many servers is the master barking
at in DSREPAIR.Log ? Are you just getting 634 errors ?

Can you do a IP PING from this server to one of the servers you were
getting an error for ?

Can you do an IPXPING from this server to one of the servers you were
getting an error for ?

What do you see if you ...
SET DSTRACE = ON
SET DSTRACE=NODEBUG
SET DSTRACE = +RN
And then do a DSREPAIR, Advanced options, REPAIR Network addresses ?

The DSTRACE screen will show you what address the server is trying to
connect to and if it can or cannot resolve it. Have any addresses been
changed on you network.

Is it possible you have 2 or more servers with a duplicate internal
IPX network address ?

Post a follow up with the errors you are seeing.

Jeff,

Your message was not posted to the official Novell news
server. While your news server might show the Novell support
newsgroups, Novell has no official connection with other news
servers, and the message you posted will probably never
propagate to the official Novell server. The SysOps only see
messages on the Novell server and for that reason,
you will probably never get a reply to your
message posted here.

I suggest you post your message directly to the official
novell news server named support-forums.novell.com. The
