ERROR! Address collision with SERVERNAME
Occurs on: ND286, SFT I, SFT II, TTS.
Meaning: This error message is displayed on the console when the
file server detects that the server named SERVERNAME has
the same Internetwork Number (Network Address) as itself,
and these two networks are not on the same wiring segment.
It is important to remember that the server's internetwork
number is that set for LAN A in the server. This is not a
fatal error and will not halt the server, although this
condition may prevent users from accessing the server.
LAN E must also have a unique node address on a
Nondedicated system.
Cause: Two file servers within the same internetwork have the same
Network Address but are not on the same network cabling
segment. Each file server within the same internetwork must
have a unique network address unless connected to the same
cabling segment. On the same cable segment, both
internetwork numbers MUST be the same or the network will
behave erratically. The node addresses of the LAN interface
cards must always be unique within the internetwork.
This error could also be generated if a break had occurred in a
wiring segment with at least one file server on each side of
the break. If the file servers are both still connected to the
internet, they would both appear to have separate cabling
systems, but both would have the same network address.
Solution: Use the SCONFIG utility on the GENOS-3 diskette to change
the network address of either the file server that is
named in the error message or the server that the message
appears on. Type "SCONFIG" with no options to get help
with the syntax for the command. This new network
address should be unique from all other servers that are
not on the same immediate cabling segment in the
internetwork.
If the file server that this message appears on and the file
server that is named in the message are supposed to be on the
same wiring segment, then check for a break in the cabling
between the two servers.
