Environment

Novell NetWare 6.5

Situation

NetWare Server Failes to load TCPIP related NLMs.
Below mentioned are the Public symbol errors that pops up on Logger screen when Server tries to load TCP NLMs and related dependencies :
 
Module TCPIP.NLM cannot be loaded until NETLIB is loaded
Module TCPIP.NLM cannot be loaded until TCP is loaded
Module TCPIP.NLM load status AUTO FAIL
Module BTCPCOM.NLM cannot be loaded until TCPIP is loaded
 

Resolution

Module Netlib.nlm is corrupt.
Replace the module Netlib.nlm using floppy disk or the CD/DVD drive in SYS:\SYSTEM directory from the working NetWare server running the same support pack level to the Server in question.
Once the nlm is replaced, restart the server normally and it should bind the IP address on the server.
