HELP!!!! We have NetWare 3.0 servers running in both standard NetWare (Novell's 802.3) and ECONFIG (Ethernet_II) mode. My problem is with the IPXODI.COM for ODI workstations. In standard NetWare mode (NOT Econfigged), I load LSL.COM, 3C503.COM, IPXODI.COM, and NET4.COM and connect to my file server. However, running the ECONFIG utility on any combination of these .COM files AND including "FRAME=ETHERNET_II" in my NET.CFG file will not allow me to connect to my ECONFIGGED server. Running the ECONFIG command to let normal IPX.COM files (i.e. those actually generated with the SHGEN-1 diskette) works fine. Regardless of how I use ECONFIG with the ODI files, I cannot connect to my server. In addition, normally when ECONFIG is executed, it echoes the mode of the driver after completion of the ECONFIG command. This does not happen when I ECONFIG the the ODI files. Finally, when you load the 3C503.COM file, it echoes out "FRAME=IEEE 802.3". It almost seems as if Novell is not supplying a 3C503.COM for Ethernet_II mode. Can anyone out there help? Thanks in advance. Todd Sloman (803) 739-7670 tsloman@secola.NCR.COM

The IPXODI will run ECONFIGED. I'm running it that way. Here is a copy of my net.cfg file: Link Support Buffers 8 1500 MemPool 4096 Link Driver NE1000 INT #1 3 PORT #1 300 Frame Ethernet_II Protocol IPX 8137 Ethernet_II If this works the same as other Novell config files then you will also need to have as the current directory the directory that has both the net.cfg and the Novell shell files. I hope this is helpful. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Neuburger Voice: 503/346-1748 Workgroup Network Engineer Internet: mjn@oregon.uoregon.edu Office of University Computing Bitnet: mjn@oregon University of Oregon 1225 Kincaid FAX: 503/346-4397 Eugene, OR 97403
