I have a problem with an OS/2 2.0 PC, running the Netware Requester for OS/2
2.0 (The actual version you have to pay money for...). The basic problem is
that it doesn't seem to want to work when there is no file server on its side
of a cisco router. DOS workstations boot up fine and dandy, but the OS/2
machine gets a timeout talking to server BLAH whenever it boots, and from then
on nothing about the netware requester seems to work. The exact same machine
works fine when connected to a network segment that had a novell file server on
it.

Has anybody else seen this problem? WHat is differnt about the requester for
OS/2 from the DOS shells that causes this problem. Is it the requesters fault
or the Cisco?

PS The cisco is running 8.2(1) or thereabouts while we wait for 9.0(1) or 9.1
to arrive. Will 9.0 or 9.1 cause this problem to go away?
