Communication and network problems
I can’t connect to a network in the PC environment.
Make sure that your networking software is properly installed and configured
(see the section on installing network support for Windows or Windows 95 in
Chapter 2, “Installing the PC Compatibility Card Software,” and see
Appendix D, “Installing Network Client Software”).
Make sure the network is up and running (check the Chooser and check with
your network administrator).
My PC communications software doesn’t work.
The Macintosh serial port does not have the same interface as the PC does
and some commands do not work. See “Setting Up a Modem or Other Serial
Device” in Chapter 3.
I get an error message associated with my Windows 95 PROTOCOL.INI file.
If an error message appears stating that there are illegal decimal characters in
the PROTOCOL.INI file, the Windows 95 Network control panel may have
modified some of the lines. To correct this problem, run the SETNET utility.
For more information, see Appendix D, “Installing Network Client Software.”
My system “freezes” when I am using ODI with Windows 95.
You may experience system “freezes” if you are using NetBEUI or TCP/IP
with ODI in Windows 95. To correct this problem, delete the following line
from the STARTNET.BAT file in the NWCLIENT directory:
C:\WINDOWS\ODIHLP.EXE
After deleting the line, add it to the end of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
When I start up in the PC environment I get a message that a shared volume no
longer exists.
Reassign the drive letter to a new drive. If you cannot remember the drive
letter, drag the PC Setup Preferences file to the Trash, open the PC Setup
control panel, and reconfigure your settings.
