The packet is definitely bad. &nbsp;What version of NetWare on the server ? &nbsp;This was a known problem with NetWare v4.11 an if that's what you're running, you should patch the server with IWSP5B from support.novell.com. &nbsp;Try and upgrade the server's LAN driver and/or swap the NIC for another brand/model. <br />

Need more inf. Does not imply that the packet is bad, just that the server does not understand the subfunction.<br />
What Client?<br />
What Servers?<br />
Here are two issues I have seen:<br />
1. Rights.exe with the /i parameter builds the NCP packet (NCP 22 50) incorrectly.<br />
2. Older VLM's are known to cause bad NCP messages.<br />

In Netware Monitor, I see the following message:<br />
&quot;Processed an NCP with a bad subfunction length ,<br />
Station xx (NCP 23 121&quot;<br />

By using the Sniffer, the packet that triggers the error is &nbsp;<br />
displayed as a :&quot;Finishing Servicing Queue Job Request&quot;, and <br />
there is no indication of an error. <br />

What is the problem, and how can I remedy it?

Processed an NCP with a bad subfunction length

NetWare is a computer network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used cooperative multitasking to run various services on a personal computer, using the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) network protocol. It is hardware-independent, running on any suitable Intel-based PC compatible system, and a wide range of network cards. Products inclue NetWare Directory Services (NDS), a global directory service similar to Microsoft's Active Directory; GroupWise, an email system; ZENworks, an application configuration suite; and BorderManager, a security product. Open Enterprise Server, the current iteration, runs on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
