- I'm having trouble getting my OS/2 2.0 machine to work with my NetWare 3.11
- network. On startup, everything seems to load normally, until a few
- seconds after the desktop loads, when I get a blank screen with a
- red box at the top with the message :
-
- NWD0115: Error getting connection ID (0x880F).
- Press <Esc> to continue
-
- After I press <Esc>, I get the desktop back, with this most unhelpful
- message:
-
- SYS0059: An unexpected network error occurred
-
- Doing a help on this message gets me another un-helpful message about
- seeing my system administrator. Well, I'm the system administrator,
- and I don't have a clue as to what this error is...
-
- I have DOS boxes and Macs running off this same Ethernet segment, so I
- don't think it's the hub (10BaseT), and I've tried different wires,
- (including wires from Asante that came with the Mac EN/SC adapters...)
- so I'm fairly confident that it's not outside the box...
-
- My system is a Northgate SlimLine ZXP 486DX-33, 8M RAM, LocalBus SVGA
- w/1024K VRAM, Seagate ST3144 (126MB, IDE, BootManager and Linux
- partitions) primary HD with a slaved Seagate ST3056 (or something like
- that; 100MB IDE, Linux and OS/2 partitons). Everything else seems
- to run fine under OS/2; I installed the Service Pack from
- ftp.watson.ibm.com, and OS/2 actually screams on this machine.
- I have two ethernet adapters; a 3Com 3c509 (for DOS) and a 3c503 (8-bit)
- for OS/2 and Linux. I use the NET.CFG to separate them, and, when I
- had this same copy of OS/2 installed on my 386 (without the ServPak),
- I had no problems.
- So...when I changed systems, I changed the 3c509 from slot 1 to slot 3
- (and the NET.cfg accordingly), and I added the Service Pack, and I changed
- the drive that OS/2 is on (it was on a Seagate 43M IDE slaved to the
- same ST3144 that's in my system now). Other than that, the system
- stayed the same... :-)
-
- I would appreciate any help you could give me; none of my NetWare
- manuals have anything helpful to say, and the "manuals" that come
- with OS/2 have little helpful to say period...except to buy a
- manual from IBM...
- Speaking of...are there any books/manuals (preferrably free) which
- you would recommend to an OS/2 newbie? And is there an FAQ for
- OS/2 networking? I got the FAQ from hobbes, but its networking
- info is fairly scant. (And, seeing how I need OS/2 to run the
- NetWare Management System, networking is a fairly high OS/2
- priority for me... :-)
