If you have problems establishing or maintaining connections between your servers and workstations, try one or more of the following:
Reboot the client workstation to clear the cache in the Novell® Client™ software.
Map a drive to the server instead of logging in. This is especially useful when connecting with the IPX™ protocol.
Search for the server by its IP or IPX address instead of its name. Type the IP or IPX address in the Server field of the Novell Login dialog box.
Try connecting to the server and not the eDirectory tree by specifying only the name of the server and leaving the tree name and context blank.
Clear all unauthenticated connections. To do this, right-click the N icon and then click NetWare Connections. Detach from all servers and trees that you are not authenticated to, then try logging in again.
Make sure your Preferred NetWork Protocol is set correctly by doing the following:
Right-click the N icon.
Select > .
Select the desired preferred network protocol, then click .
Reboot the workstation.
Unbind the protocol you are not using from the destination server. For example, if you are using IP for the migration but IPX is bound on the destination server, unbind the IPX protocol on the destination server during the migration.
