- All of our PC's (about 50) running PC-NFS 4.0a with Cabletron
- E2010 and E2110 NICs using Cabletron's Generic Packet Driver ver.
- 3.02.25 and Cabletron's PC-NFS Ethernet Interface Driver Ver
- 1.01.00 consistently produce the PC-NFS error message:
-
- NFS243W : Warning: no packets received from the network: check
- connectors, etc.
-
- In addition, a PC-NFS "netstat -i" says Ipkts=0, but a plain
- "netstat" says TCP & UDP packets have been received. Most else
- of PC-NFS seems to work OK, but we are concerned we may be
- missing something important.
-
- We see this on all our PC's (386s & 486s, various makes) with
- the above configuration, but don't see it with 3COM
- cards/drivers, or if we use Cabletron's NDIS driver interface.
-
- Has anyone else see this problem? Is this a PC-NFS problem or a
- defective Cabletron driver? There was a posting from another
- site about this problem a month or so ago, but I didn't see any
- response.
