SLP UA Warning

[Tat]

Hi

We currently have a Dell Server running nw 5.1 sp3. I have just set up an identical server to act as the backup server using StandBy Server 5.3. When the recently setup server is loaded the warning "SLP UA warning unable to contact Directory Agent. Verify DA availability, IP connectivity, DA discovery options and configuration." I have IP and IPX loaded. A Novell TID says the easiest way to get rid of this is to set up a Directory Agent and load SLPDA.NLM. Is there any other way round this?? Thankyou in advance for any help

Just put a load SLPDA in your autoexec.ncf. This will assume the default settings and you won't have to do anymore unless down the road you go to a pure IP network and you meet the requirments to have SLP configured.
