Subject: GPI on 386 Server Bridged to Macintosh
Date: August 1, 1990
OS Version: 386

GENERAL
INFORMATION: We had a customer running NetWare v3.0 on a model 80 with
Token-Ring LAN boards. He attempted to attach Macs to the
server through a nondedicated bridge. The bridge was a
model 30-286 with 2 Token-Ring adapters and 1 NL1000 board.
Every time he would attempt to load the VAPs at the bridge,
he would get a GPI at the file server.
We went through all the standard Mac trouble shooting steps,
such as reloading the VAPs, deleting and reinstalling the
VAPs with MACSETUP, checking the bridge hardware and memory,
and regenerating the BRIDGE.EXE. We were down to changing
the bridge machine to something else or sending out new
VAPs that we know work when the customer said that he was
running the CONFIX patch at the file server. He then said
that he recently downloaded the new CONFX2 patch and
replaced the old CONFIX patch with the new CONFX2 patch.
After changing the patch at the file server and loading the
VAPs on the bridge, the GPI did not happen again.
We came to two conclusions:
1. In the 386 environment, GPIs can come from anywhere in
the network.
2. Start checking for other patches that may be causing
problems as part of your trouble shooting steps.
