Is your fileserver actually called lance?  Is its
name, etc
in /lib/ndb/local?  Is the fileserver up and running?
Can
you ping it?

Yes the entry for lance is in the /lib/ndb/local file
and the fileserver is up and running.

But I can't ping it. I thought ping didn't work
anyways because I'm running il protocol.

In article <20011213225411.18719.qmail@web9604.mail.yahoo.com> you write:

Okay.

>anyways because I'm running il protocol.

Sounds like you might have made a typo setting the IP address or
other network setting on the file server.  IL runs on top of IP,
and the ICMP protocol that ping uses more or less sits next to IP,
so you ought to be able to ping the file server regardless.

Anyway, the next step would be to double check the network
settings, I think.
