4.4 Detailed corrective actions
4.4.1 Check the operation of the network
Server PC
Check if the network is operational, do this by double-clicking on the
'Network Neighborhood' icon. If you are connected to an existing network
you must see a list of computers in the network. If you run the Server PC
stand-alone you must see just one PC (the Server PC!). If not, check the
network setup of the PC, for a stand-alone Server PC see chapter: 2.9,
PC networking
Client PC
Make sure the Server PC is working and configured properly (including the
network connection).
Double-click on the 'Network Neighborhood' icon of the Client PC and see
if the Server PC is present, if not find-out why and correct the problem.
4.4.2 Make sure the operator of the A741 Repro System has
'Administrator' rights
The 'Administrator' rights are required on the Server PC only, not on the
Client PC's. Typical sign of this problem is an error message that the path
of the 'LOCAL SPOOL' directory cannot be found in the REGISTRY.
4.4.3 Select the correct PCI slot for the A741 Repro System card
It is known that the A741 Repro System PCI controller may not work
properly with all motherboards. Signs of trouble are problems with DMA
transfers (see chapter: 4.9.6,
Test command – F(ifo)
).
Until now this problem has only been seen on Pentium II systems, but may
be present with other type of processors as well.
