Can't connect to Novell network
'Tis true. Do I need Caldera's client for this? I think the basic problem
is below this, though.
I've compiled Olicom's token-ring network card driver into the kernel with
no problems. Bootup gives apparently normal messages in this regard except
a test download failure. I also get an SIOADDR(something or another) not
available message (I get this also under OS/2, but things still work OK ...
??). I do have Novell support compiled (ipx? IIRC), and net-base, etc, are
installed.
I tried to configure things when I first installed without recognizing that
we have a DHCP server (which is new for our LAN). Later I tried to install
dhcpd. This failed under dselect (as I've noticed other posts also
mention). Is this failure due to no connection?
Might I need to remove or change the order of various parts of this in the
rc files?
I cannot ping a thing. hosts and host.conf seem OK, as does resolv.conf.
Should anything be changed here?
Sorry I don't have a more complete description--I'm not sure what is needed
to understand the problem. Is there some other info which would help me
figure this out? Thanks very much!
