Checklist for TCP/IP Settings on Windows 95

If you cannot log in to Solstice NFS Client, follow these steps to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Right-click on the Network Neighborhood icon and click Properties to open the Network dialog box.

2. Click the Configuration tab and double-click TCP/IP.

3. If your site uses DNS:

   1. Click the DNS Configuration tab and make sure Enable DNS is selected.

   2. Make sure the DNS domain name is correct.

   3. Make sure the number listed in DNS Server Search Order is the correct address of your DNS server.

4. If your site uses DHCP to automatically generate IP addresses for clients, click the IP Address tab and make sure Obtain An IP Address Automatically is selected.

5. If your site does not use DHCP:

   1. Click the IP Address tab and make sure Specify An IP Address is selected and the number typed in the IP Address box is correct.

   2. Click the Gateway tab and make sure the number listed in Installed Gateways is the correct address of a gateway on your local subnet.

6. Check the authentication server:

   1. In the Network dialog box, double-click the Solstice NFS Client.

   2. Click the Security tab and check the authentication server.

      If Broadcast For An Authentication Server is selected, make sure there is a server running the pcnfsd daemon on the same local subnet as the computer running Solstice NFS Client. Do this by entering the following command from a Solaris system on the subnet:

      rpcinfo -b 150001 2

   3. If no server on the subnet is running the pcnfsd daemon, select Use A Specific Authentication Server and type the IP address of an authentication server outside the local subnet.
