win98, winxp cannot login to netware3.12

[codo]

hi, i'm not a network expert and i had a problem to loggin to netware server from win98/win xp box, but when i loggin directly from diskless pc (using BootROM) it success.
I had the same problem with andyshriver(thread56-1259543) but it's been 3 days the problem still exist.

i tried to vrepair but i can't. after i dismount the SYS volume the vrepair was unable.

the cause for this error was after i shutdown the server and move it to another room, and after i restart the server all the clients using win98 and XP won't connect with this message "You cannot be authenticated to the SERVER_NAME server because the network path cannot be found"

plz help me!

To get vrepair to run, you will need to specify the path. In a typical install, that would be C:\NWSERVER\VREPAIR.NLM

Things to remember (for my own sake), authentication is over IPX, and the scheme is Bindery (don't actually need the Novell client to use a 3.x server on a Win9x/2k/xp box).

When you moved the server, was anything else changed? Like a hub or switch? Did the port on a network switch change at all? How sure are you the problem is a login problem and not a server visibility issue (aka, the server really isn't talking on the network). Does the problem go away if you move the serer back? or move to a different place that where you moved it to?

I think this is a valid command in 3, "config" (not the same as the NLM). Do you see any thing that talks about IPX being bound to the NIC when you run the config command? Is there more than one NIC in the server?

If this makes any sense, give this TID a try to verify the serer is actually visible on the network.
