# Troubleshooting in NetWare RPL environments

- Use SMARTROM.EXE to ensure that your Smartrom is programmed with either MULTI.ROM or NRPL.ROM. If it is not, then reprogram it using SMARTROM.EXE.

- Ensure that the Novell RPL.NLM is loaded on your NetWare Server and that it is bound to the Server driver.

- Ensure that you have copied the Novell file RBOOT.RPL to the server's SYS:\LOGIN directory.

- Ensure that an entry for your workstation exists in the BOOTCONF.SYS file in your server's SYS:\LOGIN directory.

- If the initial download of the boot block is failing it may be necessary to specify the ACK option in your BOOTCONF.SYS file or as an argument to the RPL.NLM when you bind it to the server driver on your server. This slows down the boot process and guarantees that the server stays in touch with the workstation's progress as it downloads the boot block.

- If you are remote booting OS/2 ensure that you specified the SMARTROM.EXE option /NETWARE_OS2 when programming the Smartrom.
