SYMPTOMS
Over the course of 6-8 hours, the error log fills up with WORKSTATION 3100 errors (one every few minutes), then the network dies.



CAUSE
NET3100 is the default error message: it is displayed when you have nothing else to map the error to. Some possible causes:


 * There may be a physical problem on network. Check cabling, NIC cards, concentrators, transceivers and wiring closet.
 * Uncertified Arcnet cards may be in use.
 * A third party NetBIOS may not be sufficiently compatible with system software.
 * Too much stress on server.
 * Database applications may be running in an MS-DOS box under OS/2 on the server.
 * The group servers may have the wrong server name account.



WORKAROUND
Take appropriate actions for any cause you can isolate.
