Hi,

I have a Netware 5.1 server with two Intel Pro 100+ Dual Port adapters, which I'm trying to connect via Fast Etherchannel to a Cisco 6509 switch.

My problem is, even though the Etherchannel configuration appears to be correct on both the server and the switch, the server won't establish a connection at boot time, even though the switch says all four ports are connected.

If I disable three of the four ports at the switch, the server will immediately connect. Then, I can re-enable the ports and everything works fine. Obviously, I'd rather not have to do this every time I need to reboot the server.

Has anybody any experience of using Netware with FEC? Is there something obvious that I'm missing out here?
 
What are the settings you are using for the switch and the NIC?
