[bit.listserv.novell] Error sending on network

ACPLT@UCLAAIS.BITNET (Peggy Tullio) (02/02/90)

Has anyone received the following error message?  If so
what caused it and how do I prevent it from happening again?

While copying a file (I tried both COPY and NCOPY) from
my local drive to a network drive, I got 'NETWORK ERROR
ON SERVER ADMIN:  ERROR SENDING ON NETWORK. ABORT OR RETRY?'
Retry doesn't do anything and abort logs me out.

I am running SFT 2.15 (A) on an IBM token ring network (using
4 Mbps).
(I can successfully copy from the network drive to a local drive.)

Any ideas?  Thanks.

            SUBJECT  :NETWORK ERROR WHEN USING NCOPY

               DATE  : 9/9/89

GENERAL INFORMATION  : "NETWORK ERROR ON SERVER ??, ABORT RETRY"

            PROBLEM  : error received at all workstations on a
network when multiple ncopies of large files are performed.

(files we used were 10 and 15meg files).

The problem occurs when the number of ncopies is equal to the
number of service processes available on the network. The server
appears to go down to users because there are no processes
available to provide positive acknowledgments until one of the
ncopies is completed.   Be assured that the file server is still
up.

           SOLUTION  : Be patient and the server will eventually
finish and you can retry at the w.s. and everything is fine. OR
limit the number of simultaneous ncopies.

COMMENTS (Optional)  :This would occur for any job that was being
serviced by a process and took several minutes to complete.


Thanks

Peggy:

From the sounds of it you are using IBM's Lan Support device drivers followed
by running IPX.COM and NETx.COM.  Try removing DXMT0MOD.SYS from your
CONFIG.SYS file and then reboot your workstation.
