Comp. Appl., Bloomington, IN Lines: 34 Currently have 1 file server online using Netware SFT 2.15. Adding 2 more using Netware 386. Have in fact had 2nd server up and running at same time as SFT2.15 but am getting routing errors. 2.15 server is network address 00000001. I understand that when servers are connected to the same backbone (thin net in this case) they have to have the same address. So when loading in my lan driver I set the internal network address for the NW386 server to the same (00000001). However I cannot then make the cable address this number. So I give it a different address causing routing errors. I also tried setting the internal (or node/ipx) address to 00000002 and the cable address to 00000001. This also causes routing errors. (Netware386 does use 2 network address BTW. The ipx/internal/node address when binding the lan driver and a "cable" address which I took to be the external or network address the other file servers would see. When both servers are up I can login (have to both) but one does not recognise the other. I cannot ATTACH to the other also (of course...) When I try and make the internal and cable addresses the same on the NW386 server I get an error message saying that there is already a network running with that address and it will not let me continue till I use a different number. You have to number the internal before the cable address also. Any suggestions/comments/shared experiences would be helpful and appreciated.
