PC Logins, Novell4 2

[Guest_imported]

Hi, All,
Here's a cracker for you!
Out of 15 Win95 PC's 6 suddenly can not log into our Novell server. They get a message about an usual error when logging in occuring - error code 8805.
The error is definately PC orientated as the person who normally logs onto the non-working PC can go to any working PC and log on there properly.
Can't be hub or switch 'cos the login box appears so a link with the server has occured. IP is unaffected. If a non logging in PC skips the novell bit all IP based facilities are available. Non of the IP facilities are on the Novell server. The Novell server is straight Novell 4 something, no other network protocol is enabled. Your help would be apprciated

From what I can tell this is a transport error. Novell does not post anything on their website in relation to this. What I would recommend is that the latest and greatest service pack be installed on the server and the latest Novell client installed. Of course trying to figure out how to fix this just short of reinstalling everything is going to be a difficult one.

There is a TID that mentions 8805. But it only states it is a transport error on the local workstation.
TID 10057316.

Try running winipcfg, see if it runs. I've had issues where IP works but I get a fatal error when running winipcfg.

Uninstall networking from the PC and try re-installing, NIC client etc etc. Lee Smith
