The computer was only moved from the desktop to the floor, about 3 feet? &nbsp;Is it still plugged into the same data jack?<br />
If you browse the network neighborhood can you see any network resources?<br />

It looks like IPX is dead no it now, &nbsp;What is the NIC? what frame type are you using?<br />
If Token-Ring and Thomas-Conrad remove DMA &nbsp;an run in PIO mode. &nbsp;You do that by<br />
setting the DMA to 0 in properties and rebooting.<br />

It actually turned out to be an ISA NIC with intermittant connectivity. &nbsp;I replaced the ISA card with a PCI NIC and that solved the problem. &nbsp;BTW, this particular PC is a Packard Bell.... &nbsp;Thanks for your help though - I will use this info in the future if needed.<br />

A client relocated her computer this morning - the computer was shut down, moved to the floor and reconnected. &nbsp;This PC was running Novell Client. &nbsp;Now, a connection to the server cannot be re-established. &nbsp;The NIC is properly connected (I was able to make an internet connection with netscape, going through our site router). &nbsp;I have re-installed the client software, and still no luck. &nbsp;The user can log onto the network from another machine.

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.
