TOPIC

    The two errors below may occur when using NetWare Client for Mac OS v5.11 with Power Macintosh computers:

      1. When attempting to configure MacIPX on a Power Macintosh G3, the following error is reported: "Network interface Ethernet could not be selected due to error: -43 (0xffd5) please configure the Ethernet interface to ensure that the network driver can open properly."
      2. When attempting to log in to the NetWare file server using the Novell Login Menu or mounting a volume through the NetWare Directory Browser, the following error is reported: "There may be a problem with your network connection or MacIPX may not be configured properly. Use the MacIPX control panel to configure MacIPX."

DISCUSSION

    The MacIPX Ethernet extension was updated to let MacIPX initialize normally when attempting to log into the NetWare file server.

    The error message returned in item 2 above indicates that the MacIPX driver has not been opened. If you open the MacIPX control panel, you will see the Network Number and Node Number displayed as "N/A (driver not open)", which is normal after restarting the computer.
