I am trying to migrate my Aloha POS Ver 5.2.5.76 back of the house data from a pentium computer to a Pentium III. My operating system is Windows NT 4.0. I mirrord my hard drive and got it to work on the newer unit. I get two error massages "Failed to register station name 0x34" and later it gives the "Ctlsvr has been disconected" "Try to reconnect?"

Does anyone know what the problem could be.

Thank you
 
Network connection good?
Lana number set to 0 for the nic Aloha is using?
Valid IP address - not obtain?
You don't have two servers with same name on network?

This always relates to networking.

Network connection is good.
Where do I find Lana number and how do I set it to 0?
Internet Explorer works and returns an IP address.
I have only one server and one Key.
 
Below are instructions detailing how to change the lana number in NT 4.0. It usually is a network problem, but I've never seen it on NT 4.0 on the back of house. I HAVE seen this happen on XP to the extent that it was not able to be resolved. But with NT, I think you'll have better luck finding the problem.

As a precaution, I'd statically define the DHCP, regardless of where it's on working with the Internet currently or not. Aloha can be pretty picky. Also, I'd make sure you NIC has the latest drivers.

Don't know if this will solve your problem, but good luck!

If you are using Windows NT®, access the computer's network properties by selecting Start/Settings/Control Panel/Network, or right-click Network Neighborhood from the desktop, and select Properties. Select the Services tab, and double-click the NetBIOS Interface service to open it.

This displays a list of the current lana number assigments. Each lana number is associated with a network route or binding. Each binding contains a protocol (Nbf for NetBEUI and NetBT for TCP/IP) plus a network adapter. NetBEUI on a NE2000 NIC has a binding similar to 'Nbf -> NE2000'. TCP/IP on a NE2000 NIC has a binding similar to 'NetBT -> NE2000'. You must set the binding intended for use by the Aloha application software to lana number 0.

Perform the following if the incorrect binding is assigned to lana number 0:

1. Select the binding currently assigned to lana number 0, and click Edit. Change the number to the next available unused lana number.
2. Note the current lana number of the binding intended for use with the Aloha application software.
3. Select the binding intended for the Aloha application software, and click Edit. Set the lana number to 0.
4. Select the original binding that was lana number 0, click Edit, and change it to the lana number previously occupied by the Aloha application software binding.
5. Click OK.

You should now have the same lana numbers listed as when you started, but the assignments are changed to suit the Aloha application software.
