Hi All.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I finally got to be able to try this last
night with one of our netware people..  Unfortunately, it didn't work.  I
can traceroute to the backup server from the netware client.  I can ping
the backup server from netware computer, I can ping the netware client
from the server, and can traceroute to the netware computer from the
backup server.  There are NT and unix boxes in the same subnet that do
work with no problems.

I don't believe it is network related at all though.  The client does die
after giving the error message "cannot find a networker server.  Press
enter to continue".  I.e. we don't then get the opportunity to go into the
client and configure it manually.  The client terminates in the same
fashion on ALL netware servers that we've tried (about 4) in two different
subnets (3 if you count the actual production LAN).  All servers on the
production LAN work.  Any of our netware computer in other subnets that
we've tried do not.  Both of the two different subnets that we've tried
are connected to the production network via a 1GB connection so it's

Has anyone got any debugging suggestions as to why the legato client on
netware dies?  I cannot find any documentation on the netware client at
all even after literally hours of searching on the internet and a couple
of queries to the archives of this list.

Cheers!
Brendan

as long as your hosts file or resolv.cfg are setup to resolve the ip
addr of the networker hostname then you can edit the networkr.ncf and
add on the end of the line reading load networkr
-s <my-networker-server-name>
eg
load networkr -s networker1
or
load networkr -s networker1.somedomain.com
