Login Restrictions Set for IPX/SPX Prevent User from Logging In
Symptom: Login restrictions are set for IPX/SPX
TM
and the node address.
When the administrative workstation is reset, the new client files are
automatically updated and the reboot prompt is displayed. After restarting, the
workstations that are placed in the restriction list as being able to log in as
Admin and which now have the new client cannot log in and no administration
of the server can be done.
Cause: This is a problem with preferring the IP protocol. The allowed
addresses assigned in NDS
®
are IPX addresses. If the server is bound to IP,
the clients are designed to prefer this protocol by default. The result is that the
client is attempting to log in to the server using IP but the address is restricted
to only allow IPX addresses, causing an authentication failure. This is due to
the IP address not being stored in NDS.
Solution: Do not bind IP to the server until static IP addresses have been
assigned. Or, change your protocol preference to IPX.
Dial-Up Networking
Dial-Up Networking over IP: SLP Configuration
In order to use SLP name resolution with dial-up networking, you must add
the directory agent’s IP address to the directory agent list on the Novell
NetWare Client Properties Service Location tab.
1 Right-click the N icon in the system tray and then click Novell Client
Properties.
2 Click the Service Location tab.
3 Add the directory agent IP address to the directory agent list and then
click OK.
Dial-Up Networking over IP: Unable to See the Network
If you are using dial-up networking on the client and are unable to log in or
browse the network, do the following:
1 Make sure that you can resolve NetWare 5 or later IP server names.
For dynamic discovery of servers, make sure that your client can locate
an SLP Directory Agent. The agent can be configured statically or it can
be configured through DHCP if your dial-up host supports DHCP and is
configured with the proper Discovery Agent.
