• Verify that the IP and gateway addresses are correct on the PC.
• Windows 95 may remember MAC addresses: if you have changed MAC addresses, reboot the router and
the PC.
• In Windows 3.1., check that the TCP driver is installed correctly. Ping (
ping
command) your PC’s IP
address from the PC.
• Successful “pinging” results let you know that the TCP driver is working properly.
• If you have changed an IP address to map to a different MAC device, and
ping
or IP fails, reboot your
PC.
•Use the
iproutes
command, to verify which router’s name is the default gateway (this cannot be 0.0.0.0).
If IPX Routing
• Check that IPX Routing has been enabled and the remote end is enabled for IPX routing
• Validate that the IPX WAN network number matches the remote router’s WAN network number.
• Check that IPX SAPs correctly identify the servers and applications on the remote network and have
valid network numbers, node numbers, etc.
• Check that every SAP has a router to its internal network.
• Check that the IPX Routes (network numbers, hops, and ticks) seeded into the routing table for network
segments and servers beyond the remote router are correct.
• Validate that the IPX WAN network number matches the remote router’s WAN network number.
• Check that the IPX Routes (network numbers, hops and ticks) seeded into the routing table for network
segments and servers beyond the remote router are correct.
• Check that IPX SAPs correctly identify the servers and applications on the remote network and have
valid network numbers, node numbers, etc.
• Be sure to reboot if IPX addresses, routes, SAPs or control has been changed.
• If the router fails to negotiate IPX:
• Make sure that at least one WAN number is not equal to zero at one end of the link.
• The server must have an IPX route to the remote LAN.
• The Novell server needs to have
burst mode
turned
on
.
• Large Internet packets have to be turned
on
:
• Novell 3.12 and later:
• Client needs VLM.EXE, net.cfg: large Internet packets=ON, Pburst=5
• If you can’t see the server SAPs:
• Check the frame types using the
eth list
command and that they are the same on both routers.
• Check that the Ethernet cable is correctly plugged in.
• Make sure that the Novell server is up.
