Fact CoreBuilder 3500

Fact CB3500 Extended Software v2.1.0-8

Fact Netware 4.11


Change servers moved from FDDI to Fast Ethernet


Cause It was confirmed that this problem was caused by the Remote Wake Up (RWU) feature of 3C980 adapter. The problem was solved after disabling this feature on the adapter with the software mwicfg.exe.

Although 3C980 is a Server NIC it has the RWU feature enabled which causes problems with some PCs like Compaq Proliant 3000 and others.


Fix Disable the RWU features of the NIC
