Hello. First, I must apologize if this is the wrong group for my question.
I cannot receive this newsgroup. Please, PLEASE, direct any replies to
my e-mail address.
I am experiencing a strange problem logging in to my server. It refuses
to recognize the map statements to itself. This machine is a Gateway2000
386/25 with 110Mb drive, 4 Mb RAM, running Compaq DOS 3.31 and Netware
ELS Level I (4 user). The odd part is this - the system script and user
script are fine. The mappings are normal and work for anyone logging in
from a location OTHER than the server. When you try and log in from the
server, it beeps and says it can't locate ELS_NETSERVER (our server's name).
If I try to log in a second time, it SOMETIMES does just fine. Sometimes it
takes 3 to 4 attempts. Sometimes, it gets halfway through the map statements
beeping and squwauking and then decides it really DOES know the ELS_NETSERVER
and allows the last few map statements to work. If this happens, then I
simply login again and get the rest of the maps to 'take'.
So - the problem is like an intermittent short. The first couple of times
that one tries to log in from the server, it refuses to identify with
itself. Then, for no apparent reason, it decides it does know itself and
allows a login. My users are irate with me because I can't fix this.
Someone has suggested a corrupted FAT and that I need to re-install.
Anyone else have a suggestion?
Again - my system cannot receive this group. Please e-mail any response
to the address in my signature. Thanks.
