Networker client on Netware freezes 1

[mikrei]

Hey folks,

Got a strange error.

recently we discovered that on all Novell Netware servers (NW 5.1) the Networker clients freeze after a certain time.

We have multiple installations of Networker servers throughout the net with different version all from 6.1.2 to 7.0.

It seems that this happen on every server at the same time.
If we unload and then load the networker clients then the client freeze everytime.

The strange thing is that neither the Netware server or Networker servers/clients have been touched for almost 2 years.

Anyone have any solution?, i´m going nuts =)

Let me guess that your NW/Netware client software is 4.2.1.
If so, there is a know issue that points to this direction. You must start the NW client software later.

The recommended workaround is to use the module DELAY.NLM to add at least a 30s delay in the AUTOEXEC file before the NW client software will be started.

Yup,

you are so right =)4.2.1 it is...

I´ll try to add the delay.nlm and see if it will do the trick,
Thanks for the help mate,

Best regards,

Mikael
