A security patch applied to the campus netware servers (Tuttle, Wilson, Caleb, Kane, and Scholar) caused login problems for a number of computers on campus. We continue work today (Saturday, October 14) to correct this problem on the server, and expect to have the problem resolved later today. If you need to access files from your office computer, the steps below provide a work-around solution to connect.
Please note that we will be restarting servers throughout the afternoon as we work with Novell to properly fix this problem, so please save any work frequently to avoid losing information. Also, once the problem has been correctly resolved on the server side, you may need to undo the steps taken below.
To log into your computer:
1. When you get the login box, check the "Workstation Only" box
2. Enter your username and password to log in. If you get any messages about being unable to restore drive or printer connections, chose the appropriate option to reconnect next time
3. Once your computer has started up, you will have access to the Internet and email, but not files stored on the Tuttle or Wilson servers. You can print to local printers and the Canon printers, but other printers may be inaccessible
To fix the network connection problem, do the following:
1. After starting up and logging in to workstation only, click "Start"
2. Click "Control Panel"
3. Double-click "Network Connections"
4. Right-Click "Local Area Connection"
5. Select "Properties" from the pop-up menu
6. Click "Novell Client for Windows" [screen capture]
7. Click "Properties". There may be a several-minute delay for this dialog box to appear
8. Click the "Advanced Login" tab
9. Scroll down the list on the left and click "NMAS Authentication"
10. Change this setting to "Off" using the drop-down on the right [screen capture]
11. Click "OK"
12. Click "Close" to close the Local Area Connection Prooperties box
13. Restart your computer. You should be able to login normally now
