[comp.sys.novell] 3C501-Netware RCONSOLE Conflict

oberste@ncifcrf.gov (Oberste) (12/18/90)

We just installed Netware 386 3.1 and I can't get RCONSOLE to work from my 
workstation or any other using a 3Com 3C501 NIC. It works fine on a station
using a 3C503. I am using the Clarkson v 7.x packet drivers with the BYU
extensions for Netware. The packet drivers are configured as follows:
  3C501 -n -w 0x69 2 0x300
  3C503 -n -w 0x69 2 0x310
I have tried 0x310 on the 501, but it doesn's help. Of course, I could swap
NICs, but I would like to have console access from any station since our
stations/users are spread among two buildings.

Has anyone else seen such a conflict or can anyone suggest things to try?
My vendor is worthless (ie. knows less than I do) and getting through to Novell
is just slightly easier than getting through to the White House. |:-)

I'll post a summary if there seems to be interest.

As always, thanks a ton in advance.
