14 File Server Problems




Is there a problem on the network file server with a ring station, group of ring stations, the complete network, or a network peripheral accessing or using a particular application/group of applications, or certain directories/files?
Go to page 14.1.


Is a particular network operating system (NOS) feature or set of NOS features on the network file server not working?
Go to page 14.2.


Is there a problem accessing or using an extra network server other than the main network file server (for example, database, fax, communication, print server)?
Go to page 14.3.


Does there appear to be a problem with abnormal network bandwidth between a particular ring station/group of ring stations and the network file server, or between a network peripheral and the network file server?
Go to page 14.4.

This procedure is generic as to the network operating system (such as Novell, IBM LAN Server, Microsoft LAN Manager, and Banyan VINES). When you reference some of the troubleshooting steps on this page, you should also reference the NOS manufacturer's documentation for any special predefined methods for checking NOS configuration, hardware/software requirements, and for NOS diagnostics and testing.
