SYMPTOMS
========
You can use the Ping tool to ping your own computer, but you cannot access the
network using the TCP/IP protocol. You may receive the following error message
when you try to access the network:
Request timed out
CAUSE
=====
This problem can occur when you are using a Novell NetWare ODI driver and the
Ethernet_II frame type is not listed in the proper NET.CFG file.
RESOLUTION
==========
To correct this problem, add Ethernet_II to the NET.CFG file. Make sure you edit
the correct NET.CFG file--NET.CFG is usually read from the same directory as
LSL.COM. Note that you should not make Ethernet_II the first frame type listed
in the file.
To add Ethernet_II to the NET.CFG file, follow these steps:
1. Use any text editor (such as WordPad) to open the NET.CFG file.
2. Add "ETHERNET_II" (without quotation marks) so that it is the last frame type
listed in the "LINK DRIVER <MLID>" section. For example, after you add
"ETHERNET_II" the section might look like:
LINK DRIVER <MLID>
FRAME ETHERNET_802.2
FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
FRAME ETHERNET_SNAP
FRAME ETHERNET_II
3. Save and close the NET.CFG file.
4. Restart your computer.
