Ok, this is the scenario:<br><br>We had an Admin bring up a Netware 4.11 server without the Autoexec.NCF&nbsp;&nbsp;(SERVER -NA)<br><br>When he was prompted, he entered a name different than the actual server name ie SMITH.<br><br>When the server was rebooted, the autoexec.ncf was used and the original server name was used&nbsp;&nbsp;ie OFFICE<br><br>Now in network neighborhood, when you browse all Netware file servers, the Server SMITH in addition to the server OFFICE appear.&nbsp;&nbsp;Both having the same internal IPX address.<br><br>I have checked the other servers that hold replicas on them and SMITH does not appear.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please note that this server does hold a R/W replica.<br><br>I also ran dsrepair, but did not repair the database, but checked &quot;Servers know to this database&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;and SMITH is not listed.<br><br>I have been searching the Novell Support Connection Web Site and am having a difficult time locating Network Neighborhood showing an Unknown server object using the same Internal IPX addr.<br><br>Any help would be great...and thanks in advance..<br><br> <p>Mark C.
