Troubleshooting EnterNet for Windows

1.  Find out the error message, search against the FAQs

There almost always is an error message, and often it's descriptive enough to understand the problem.  The error messages are described in our EnterNet for Windows Frequently Asked Questions file

2.  Download the latest evaluation from our website

Often your Service provider will require additional testing before they can distribute our latest version.  You can find out if the problem you're running into is fixed in the Release Notes.

In addition you can always download the latest 30 day trial evaluation version from our website.

3.  Take a detailed trace

There should be no problem taking a detailed log to include when reporting a problem to your service provider.

After starting the EnterNet Profile manager, click the Connections -> Settings menu:


 


This will load the Settings dialog.  Click the Detailed log and Packet logging options:


Next, click OK.  Bring up the EnterNet application and click Connect to capture the problem:


 


Once the connection has been established, the EnterNet application will minimize to the System tray.  Right click the EnterNet icon to bring up the Advanced menu.

Use the Advanced menu to collect the information.  Click the File -> Create Report to save the information from all the tabs to a text file.
 


Note from the lower right hand corner the message "Buffer full".  EnterNet normally stores enough information to get the first connection.  If your problem requires more information, use the Packet log tab and View -> Options menu to allocate a larger buffer size.

Save the text file using a logical file name on your desktop


 

4.  Send in the Detailed log to your Service Provider

Attach the file from your Desktop in an email message and fill in the report to send to your Service Provider. Do not send problem reports to Siemens unless you are a direct customer of Siemens, with an active support contract.
