SYMPTOMS
========
When you are running RConsole to connect to a Novell NetWare server using the
SPX connection type, you may be unable to obtain a list of servers or connect to
a server. RConsole may report the following error messages:
SPXEstablishConnection failed to establish a connection to the desired
server.
The server connection was terminated by AllocateConnection.
A connection could not be established with the selected server.
CAUSE
=====
When you are using locally administered network addresses on an Ethernet
network, the hardware MAC address of the NetWare server's network adapter has
eight or more trailing zeroes.
RESOLUTION
==========
Modify the "NODE=xxxxxxxxxxxx" setting on the NetWare server so that the last
eight numbers are not all zeroes.
For information about how to change the "NODE=xxxxxxxxxxxx" setting on a NetWare
server, see the software documentation or contact the manufacturer.
