Insecure Client Workstations Log In to a Secure Server
Problem The error message “Error receiving from the network”
appears.
Solution The client workstation is using a version of LOGIN.EXE file
that doesn’t include NCP packet signature. Make sure the new
LOGIN.EXE and other new utility files are installed on all
NetWare servers on the network.
Problem Third-party NetWare Loadable Module™ (NLM) programs
do not work.
Solution If the SET parameter “Allow Change to Client Rights” is set
to “OFF,” some third-party NLM™ programs might not
function. Set this parameter to “ON.”
Problem Insecure client workstations log in to a secure server.
Solution
The client workstations are using an old LOGIN.EXE file that
does not include NCP packet signature. Make sure the new
LOGIN.EXE and other new utility files are installed on all
servers on the network.
Use the “Preferred Server” option in the NET.CFG file for all
client workstations that have access to secure servers (level
3). See “PREFERRED SERVER=“server_name” for details
on how to configure for this option.
