-
- When there is a technical support problem with CDLINK:
-
- 1) Get the version. This can be done by typing CDUSER -v.
- 2) Get the DOS version. Have them type VER at the DOS prompt.
- 3) Version of Netware.
- 4) AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS
- 5) Find out if there is a bridge, brouter, or router installed.
-
- All these questions MUST be answered in order to determine the
- problem.
-
-
- Most frequent problems:
-
- 1 P) Receiving error 203 when attempting to load CDSERVER
- S) Version 1.4 fixes this problem.
-
- 2 P) CDUSER when trying to connect to a CDSERVER or when running
- CDUSER /D the machine appears to lock.
- S) Have them wait 15 minutes when CDUSER is in the "locked" state.
- If CDUSER returns to DOS and reports the server could not be found,
- have them re-run CDSETUP and edit the network addresses. The
- reason for this is: Netware will take at least 30 seconds per
- invalid network address entry. Since there are 12 entries in
- CDSETUP, with 2 broadcasts per entry the total timeout may be
- around 12 minutes. If they don't know the network addresses
- on the network, have them find the person who set it up. Other
- terms for network addresses are: segment, network, subnet. Make
- sure they have version 1.4 or greater.
-
- 3 P) CDUSER cannot find any CDSERVERS
- S) Make sure they have version 1.4 or greater
-
- 4 P) When trying to access a CDROM drive the connection dies or they
- recieve a message containing the message 'Abort, Retry ...'
- every time they connect.
- S) This could be due to SPX connection failures. Have them load CDSERVER
- and make a connection with CDUSER. Before accessing the drive
- have them run CDUSER /x. If SPX connections are failing, it will
- report this. The course of action is to contact the person who
- setup or maintains the network or call Novell. If SPX connections
- appear to be OK make sure they provide the information above for
- both CDUSER and CDSERVER. CDUSER /x is undocumented and used only
- for testing purposes and is only in versions 1.4 and up.
-
- 5 P) CDUSER works with some CDs and not others.
- S) The CD may not allow a CD to be shared. Have them provide the
- name, date, and publisher of the CD.
-
- 6) P) Copy and xcopy do not work.
- S) Use version 1.5 or greater.
-
- 7) P) CDUSER works most of the time but they recieve the message
- 'CD-Server not responding' now and again.
- S) Have them increase the packet timeout with version 1.5 by
- adding the switch /p:20 to CDUSER.
