<QUOTE>
I am at a client site that has been running novell for quite a while.



A new pc was installed with Windows 98



All other PCs are running Win98 too. All running AREV OK.



Short cut setup exactly the same as the others with F:\AREV\LHIPXTSR.EXE /P in the batch file section of the pif.



The following message comes up when run



LINEAR HASH IPX DRIVER - REVMEDIA OPEN ERROR FS472

UNABLE TO OPEN BOOT MEDIA MAP.



Novel Client 3.2 is installed on the pc.



Arev is Arev 2.1  (not 2.12)



Arev network driver is IPX/ADVANCED NETWARE 2.1+ Drv.



Can anyone help . I have never had a novell site before.



Remember ALL other PCs are OK. 

So there must be something with the PC configuration, but I dont know what to look for.





TIA



Barry

Where do I check that - I looked at Network / IPX 32 bit... / Properties - it has no values set on any PC - all just Autos and defaults



NOTE: The client install has now been changed from ver 3.3e to 3.2.

The FS error is now FS466

<QUOTE>I just looked at the Novell Client properties on a PC that is working and its version is 3.1.0.0  (The new PC is 3.2.0.0)



Would that make a difference

<QUOTE>Hi Barry



You can follow the network trouble shooting guide (I think it is in the knowledge base)...



From that I had to fix my PC client settings after a server shutdown and restart when previously the auto settings were fine



So (Control Panel ) Network Settings

IPX 32 bit protocol (highlight this)

click on properties

click on advanced IPX

for primary logical board, and frame type select

ETHERNET_802.2



It helps if the server uses this too but isn't absolutely necessary, I think our server is set to automatic, but I've been suffering file corruptions this last week. 



While you are in control panel, you can disable write behind caching:

System | Performance | File system | trouble shooting

check the box next to "disable write behind caching".



There are some specific suggestions for error FS466 in here: NLM Troubeshooting (under Network | Performance in the KB)

And the frame type stuff is in here: Revelation NLM Installation & Follow-up Tips (under Network | Installation in the KB)

<QUOTE>Contrary to the advice of the site's novell engineer, I found a Client 3.1 install and ran that.



It all now works



Thank you all for your help - Scott I will also check your recommended settings.
