SYMPTOMS
========

Over the course of 6-8 hours, the error log fills up with WORKSTATION 3100
errors (one every few minutes), then the network dies.

CAUSE
=====

NET3100 is the default error message: it is displayed when you have nothing else
to map the error to. Some possible causes:

- There may be a physical problem on network. Check cabling, NIC cards,
  concentrators, transceivers and wiring closet.

- Uncertified Arcnet cards may be in use.

- A third party NetBIOS may not be sufficiently compatible with system
  software.

- Too much stress on server.

- Database applications may be running in an MS-DOS box under OS/2 on the
  server.

- The group servers may have the wrong server name account.

WORKAROUND
==========

Take appropriate actions for any cause you can isolate.
