I am trying to help some friends with a 3Com Ethernet network. They have had this network "running" for almost a year with terrible problems. The network frequently crashes especially when a disk intensive operation is requested (e.g., copying \apps\*.exe to nul). Recently their disk crashed completely and they are trying to get started with a brand new disk. After prep'ing, partitioning and formatting the new disk, they restored their tape backup. Now when they reboot, the network will not run--after asking if they want to run as a dedicated server, the 3+ Share software says "software not registered properly". The manual gives no indication what this error is or how to get around it. Is it some kind of protection scheme? Using the original disks did not help. I would appreciate any advice. I am not an IBM-PC expert so even obvious hints would be appreciated. Please respond by email. --Walter _____________________________________________________________________________ Walter C3arlip c3ar@zaphod.uchicago.edu (the "3" is silent) c3ar%zaphod@UCHIMVS1.bitnet _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Walter C3arlip c3ar@zaphod.uchicago.edu (the "3" is silent) c3ar%zaphod@UCHIMVS1.bitnet _____________________________________________________________________________
