- Question to all, we have a 40 station PC and Mac Ethernet network
- and lately, the Netware file server has been acting weirdly. Upon
- moderate to heavy load, and sometimes in no load conditions at all,
- I'm finding that it takes a long time for our file server to appear
- in the chooser selection, and after a while, the server disappears
- from the chooser and reappears later. This wouldn't be that much of
- a problem, except for the fact that autoattaching Mac's on ethernet
- don't attach anymore. I'm wondering if this is a sign of a performance
- hit or too much traffic on the wire. Our localtalk segment, routed
- from the same fileserver, has no problems autoattaching each time,
- however, only Appletalk protocol is running on the localtalk segment
- while the ethernet segment has IPX (802.3 frame), Appletalk (ESNAP),
- and TCP/IP on it routed from another segment by the same file server.
-
- Anyone come across something similar?
