- PROBLEM: A customer was running NETGEN installation on a IBM PS/2
- Model 80 and had an IBM Token-Ring adapter installed. He
- got the error "Packed file is corrupt". After changing
- everything (NetWare, Model 80, Token-Ring adapter) he called
- Novell.
-
- SOLUTION: Attach a workstation patch cable (the one that runs from the
- workstation to the MAU). Without even plugging it into the
- MAU, it went past the place where it was erroring out.
-
- Also be advised that you have to have the same cable
- attached (once again it doesn't have to be plugged into the
- MAU) for the file server to come up.
