Action: Load LSL.COM then, load the device driver.


PCNTW-DOS-2 The LSL has no more room for a board using Frame <string>.
Explanation:
The maximum number of adapters, whether virtual or physical, has been registered with the Link Support Layer. In the PC Server 325, the DOS ODI LSL can support up to five PCI Ethernet adapters, plus the Ethernet controller in the system board.
Action:Reduce the number of active adapters in the systems by removing an adapter, or by decreasing the number of frame types activated by Multiple Link Interface Driver (MLID).


PCNTW-DOS-3 Could not find PCNTNW MLID (Multiple Link Interface Driver) to unload.
Explanation:
A request was made to unload PCNTNW MLID, but the MLID (Multiple Link Interface Driver) is not loaded.
Action: None.


PCNTW-DOS-4 A TSR is loaded above the PCNTNW MLID (Multiple Link Interface Driver) .
Explanation:
You tried to unload the PCNTNW MLID from memory, but the PCNTNW MLID detected another Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program loaded above the MLID. For the PCNTNW MLID to unload safely, you must first unload any TSR programs that were loaded after you loaded the MLID.
Action: Either unload the other TSR program before loading the PCNTNW MLID, or unload the TSR program before attempting this operation.


PCNTW-DOS-5 PCNTNW MLID (Multiple Link Interface Driver) could not be unloaded the operation was aborted.
Explanation:
The PCNTNW MLID attempted to remove the resident PCNTNW MLID from memory, and failed. A hardware error has probably occurred.

Explanation:
The hardware did not initialize correctly. The PCNTNW driver did not load.
Action: Check the hardware. Make sure that the board's hardware setting matches its settings in the NET.CFG file.


PCNTW-DOS-7 You need another PCNTNW MLID (Multiple Link Interface Driver) Section Heading in the NET.CFG file in order to load the MLID again.
Explanation:
You tried to load the PCNTNW MLID a second time. Normally, you would do this so that you could use two or more Ethernet controllers in the server. When two or more of the same type of Ethernet controllers are installed in the server, an associated PCNTNW MLID section heading must be specified in the NET.CFG file.
Action: Create a NET.CFG file and add the commands for both PCNTNW MLID boards to the file. Then, restart the server.


PCNTNW-DOS-8 A NET.CFG is required to load the MLID (Multiple Link Interface Driver) again.
Explanation:
You tried to load the PCNTNW MLID a second time. Normally, you would do this so that you could use two or more Ethernet controllers in the server. When two or more of the same type of Ethernet controllers are installed in the server, an associated PCNTNW MLID section heading must be specified in the NET.CFG file.
Action: Create a NET.CFG file and add the commands for both PCNTNW MLID boards to the file. Then, restart the server.


PCNTNW-DOS-9 The NET.CFG entry has been ignored.
Explanation:
The PCNTNW ignored the NET.CFG entry.
Action: Verify that the entries in the NET.CFG file are correct.


The PCNTNW MLID has been successfully removed.
Explanation:
A request was made to unload a PCNTNW MLID. The PCNTNW MLID has been removed from memory.
Action: None.


PCNTNW-DOS-11 The MLID (Multiple Link Interface Driver) does not support frame <string:>. The PROTOCOL keyword has been ignored.
Explanation:
The NET.CFG files specified the PROTOCOL option for a PCNTNW MLID. The specified frame type is not supported by the PCNTNW MLID.
Action: Check the PROTOCOL line in the NET.CFG file for possible omissions of required dashes and underscores or any misspellings.


PCNTNW-DOS-12 The protocol keyword must have a frame type. Entry ignored.
Explanation:
The PROTOCOL option was specified in the NET.CFG file for a PCNTNW MLID. The entry failed to specify the associated frame type for the protocol ID addition. An entry in the NET.CFG file for the PROTOCOL option should use the following format: LINK DRIVER PCNTNW PROTOCOL IPX 8137 ETHERNET_II
Action: Specify a frame with the PROTOCOL option.


PCNTNW-DOS-13 The MLID (Multiple Link Interface Driver) could not register Protocol ID <string> for protocol stack <string> for frame type.
Explanation:
The PCNTNW MLID could not register the specified Protocol ID.
Action: Verify the protocol information in the NET.CFG file.


PCNTNW-DOS-14 This version of LSL is not supported.
Explanation:
The PCNTNW MLID cannot run successfully using this version of the LSL.
Action: Update the LSL.COM to a newer version.


PCNTNW-DOS-15 The frame type is already activated for frame <string>. The NET.CFG entry has been ignored.
Explanation:
Two FRAME keywords under the same main section heading specified the same frame type. A specified frame type can be specified only once per driver.
Action: Remove the duplicate FRAME keyword entry.


PCNTNW-DOS-16 The node address was incorrectly specified in NET.CFG.
Explanation:
You used the NODE ADDRESS option in the NET.CFG file to override the node address on the network board. The number specified was not a valid Ethernet address. An Ethernet address is six bytes in length. This error occurs if Bit 0 of the first address byte is a 1. This bit must always be 0. For example, if the first byte has the following address, an invalid Ethernet address is generated.

FIRST BYTE
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
------------------------
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1



This byte will produce node addresses in the 0100 0000 0000 to 01FF FFFF FFFF range (in hexadecimal), all of which will be invalid.
Action:Specify a valid node address in the NET.CFG file.


PCNTNW-DOS-17 An invalid keyword was specified in NET.CFG on line xx .
Explanation:
The keyword specified in the NET.CFG file is incorrect.
Action: Check the keyword in question. Make sure that the keyword is correctly spelled.


PCNTNW-DOS-18 The frame type specified in the NET.CFG file is not supported.
Explanation:
The NET.CFG file specified the PROTOCOL option for a PCNTNW MLID. The specified frame type is not supported by the PCNTNW MLID.
Action: Check the PROTOCOL line in the NET.CFG file for possible omissions of required dashes and underscores, or any misspellings. Check the PCNTNW MLID (Multiple Link Interface Driver) documentation for supported frame types.


PCNTNW-DOS-19 An invalid Ethernet node address is specified in NET.CFG. The MLID modified the incorrect address bits.
Explanation:
The NET.CFG file has an invalid node address. The PCNTNW MLID modified and corrected the address.
Action: Verify the node address entries in the NET.CFG file.
