Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 7.3x
FACT(s) (Environment):
Novell Netware 4.11
SYMPTOM(s):
Error 777 starting up database on Novel server with Progress 7.3 clients
Unable to find server with protocol "tcp" in /etc/services (777)
The CPU encountered a problem executing code in _MPROSRV.NLM. The problem may be in that module or in data passed to that module by another NLM.
Unable to upgrade Clients to Progress 8.3E or apply patch 7.3C16
CHANGE:
Changed fabric of network from SPX to TCP/IP
CAUSE:
Client32 has NOT been certified by Progress to be used with the DOS products and TCP/IP.
FIX:
Re-enable SPX/IPX protocols on network.
For SPX client connections, you will need to re-install Novell Client on your Win9X machines
Start the database(s) on Novell as follows (this may need editing your .ncf file):
LOAD _mprosrv volume:\path_to_a_database\dbname -S <servicename> -N TLI -autoexit
Connect from client using:
CONNECT dbname -N SPX -S <servicename> -H <hostname>
-S needs to be unique for each database server connection and must match eactly with the -S on the server (case-sensitive). For SPX, -S is not provided in an /etc file and can be anything that you want it to be.
The server will still give the following informational messages which can be ignored:
"Unable to open file <services> to read server process name and port (1080)"
"Unable to find server with protocol 'TCP' in /etc/services (777)"
" TCP Server failed to start. Trying to start an SPX server. (4536)"
Followed by the affirmation of the server having sucessfully started and ready for connections from SPX clients:
The server is ready for servicing SPX clients. (2857)
