Client Issues
 Hung connections. Check for them and clear them. See “Clearing a
Workstation Connection” on page 92.
 Client software. You can identify client problems by changing SET NCP
SET parameter. For more information, see NCP Parameters in Utilities
Reference.
By setting these server parameters to On, the server displays a warning
each time a bad packet is received at the server. The warning message also
includes the MAC (Media Access Control) addresses of devices where
the packets originated.
These parameters are in the NCP category:
Display NCP Bad Component Warnings=On
Reject NCP Packets With Bad Components=On
Display NCP Bad Length Warnings=On
Reject NCP Packets With Bad Length=On
Update client software.
 Cabling. If you have installed high-speed 100 MB network boards, you
might need to upgrade your cabling, too.

Troubleshooting Methodology” on page 105; review tips in TID 10011512
