Upgrading PowerPC to Utilize 100mps Network access

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Mac Troubleshooting : One Thread

Hello anyone!

My situation is this. I have a PowerPC 76/132 running OS8.1. For two years I have connected to a Novell Network via a thin line coax that connects to a small transceiver box which connects to the back of the Mac AND Novell's Netware Client (Ver.5.11). Appletalk is active; Ethernet is selected in the Appletalk Control Panel. Ethernet is selected in MAC IPX control panel. All is well.

I get this bright idea to utilize 100mps from the network administrator. She purchased a Fast EtherTX-10/100 PCI Card for the MAC and ran a dedicated 100 mps line to my office.

We plugged the card in; hooked it up to the line, and verified that it was communicating via the status lights BUT I cant get access. Normally when I need to access server based folders, I click on a shortcut to that folder from my desktop which in turn brings up the Novell login script. I sign on and everthing's cool. However, with this new card I can't even get to a login script. It just tellsl me that "No Network Services can be Founf at this Time. Check your configuration or contact your network administrator."

Can anyone shed any light?

Stuck.

Jim
