Subject: Error on Listen function: NETBIOS unit/lana number specified in NOTES.INI is not valid on this system, or a network is not started
check your ports in the server conifguration document. Sounds like you’ve got a port that is configured for netbios enabled. You can shut that port off at the console by typing:
tell portname stop
to restart:
tell portname start
But that’s just a temporary way to fix it. You should be able to tweak the config document if it’s specificying something that the system can’t use.

Any idea why this error would start appearing though? One of my remote servers developed this problem yesterday out of the blue. I checked the config doc and the port in question was already disabled, yet the listen task was running (and giving this error every 20 seconds). I only noticed this error because the wan link to this remote server was maxed out for quite a while (it’s difficult to be constantly on the look-out for unexpected errors)… any idea if this error and the link max-out could be related?
I’m pretty new to the more advanced aspects of server management so any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
