Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Troubleshooting Your Computer
If you can’t log in to Netware servers
If a Netware server is using IPX/SPX protocol, you may need to force your frame
type to match the server’s frame type. Check with your network administrator.
If a network connection responds slowly
If your network connection uses a proxy server, try enabling the option for bypassing
the proxy server for local addresses. You can do this in Control Panel under your
network connection properties.
