I recently updated a client running Arev 3.1 on Netware 3.12 with the NLM, from 10 Base 2 & Win 3.11 on 486 workstations to 100 Base T, Win 98 & Novell Client 32 on Pentium workstations. The Pentium 100 server remained the same, except for the addition of a 100 Base T NIC, and we added a dedicated indexer. Since the upgrade, we have had a number of GFEs, mostly similar to "Group 0 Code 5 Initial setup failed, overflow frame header type 24 is incorrect". One of these in particular, on the Revboot Revmedia file, was fixed and has since returned. We have also experienced workstations freezing on a few occasions, it seems to be a Win 98 thing.

Are there any known problems with this combination? Any suggestions?

I don't have the version # of the NLM, it was purchased from RTI in July or August, I can get it if necessary. I'm currently out of town and my client just notified me of yet another GFE.

Thanks,

Gray Cunningham

Gray,

RTI have posted an issue regarding the Novell Intranet client v2.5 in this discussion.

Apparently there are some problems with this client that are to be

resolved, in the mean timne they reccommend the using version 2.2.

However, i also encountered problems with Win 98 and Reltek based network cards causing hanging, gfes, etc. This only occured when using 98 with these cards, 95 was fine and 98 was fine when using Intel etherexpress 10/100 cards.

Hope this helps

Cheers Sam

Sam,

Thanks for your response. The NICs are DLink, but the Client 32 issue sounds interesting as we are using v2.5…is v2.2 still available?
