The message Unable to start — server not found when trying

- The network configuration parameters of your network driver on the client machine
may be different from those on the server machine. For example, two Ethernet adapter cards

net.cfg file. In Windows, look for the frame type
setting in the Control Panel Network Settings.
- Under the TCP/IP protocol, clients search for database servers by broadcasting a
request. Such broadcasts typically do not pass through gateways, so any database server on
a machine in another (sub)network, is not found. In this case, you must supply the host
name of the machine on which the server is running using the -x server startup command line option. This is required to connect to NetWare
servers over TCP.
- Your network drivers or wiring is not installed properly.
- The network configuration parameters of your network driver may be incompatible
