I tried the above code within my environment (NW 3.11) and it says:

Script Error: Could not interpret line.
The original line was:
   WRITE ...

So anyway i don't know why/how it works on your side, but possibly you
should omit the BEGIN statement. This is no longer needed within 3.11
and i didn't find it in the docs as well. If it won't work then, probably
you have missed one or the other updates coming from Novell (if you have
registered :-)

If i stated the above right: WRITE "..." , the IF-THEN block was correctly
executed here.

Hope this helps.

Hi Greg,
	I don't know if this will help, but we just had the same problem here
about one week ago (and I subsequently spent Labor Day weekend fixing it!).
What had happened to us what that the bindery had become corrupted.  Have you
tried running BINDFIX and BINDREST?
	Hope that you can use the info -- we eventually ended up rebuilding
the entire server (BINDFIX couldn't write to the disk because it thought that
it was full, and we therefore couldn't BINDREST it), but if BINDFIX will
work for you, it may just fix your problem.

You are getting a little carried away with the old LSL receive buffers
here. First, you appear to have an Ethernet so the 2048 value can come
down to 1500. Second, if you are not using the LAN WorkPlace TCP/IP
stack you can probably get away with losing the whole "Link Support"
section of the Net.Cfg completely (IPXODI doesn't require LSL receive
buffers at all) and finally, if you are using the LAN WorkPlace TCP/IP
stack then 10 buffers is still a little excessive for most peoples
usage patterns. 4 or 5 will likely be enough.

I would have thought you would get a warning message from the NE2000
MLID as this line is a syntax error. You don't need it at all unless
you are running the LAN WOrkPlace TCP/IP stack and even then only
for completeness. It should go more like:

                Protocol IP 0800 Ethernet_II

And one small tip from my book on leading a less stressfull existance...
Put the "Frame Ethernet_802.3" before the "Frame Ethernet_II" in the
Link Driver section. The explanation is long, complicated and boring
so just trust me. :-)

Hmmm. I wonder if ODIPKT needs LSL buffers? Even so, this has nothing to
do with Microsoft Word for Windows.

You might try nabbing 3.26 out of your Windows 3.1 distribution. IPXODI

Odd? If you are using ODIPKT I assume something is running over it?
Remove whatever it is together with ODIPKT and then have go. If it works,
put things back one at a time etc....

I am looking for anyone with knowledge/opinions of a tape backup system
called The Network Archivist 2.0.

I will be backing up a Novell 3.11 system of about 60 users with a
server disk size of 1 GByte. I want to run it as a workstation-based

I am considering the option of purchasing this package from the U.S.

we are using netx ver 3.26.  i've recently noticed a problem when receiving

return the drive info and no files or dirs.  the computer then will eventually
completely freeze up. this does not occur while using net5 (?ver?).  it seems 
like it might only happen when sending a broadcast message to yourself,
however.

has anyone else noticed this behaviour/is this a known bug?

if so, has there been a bug fix released that i/we don't know about yet?

        We had this same problem here. Come to find out it was a logging
        file gone  crazy. Do you happen  to notice which node  is locked
        up first? Check  to see if something is afoot  there. We like to
        never have found  the problem because when rebooted  the node it
        closed the  file at 0  bytes. Weird but  it was just  sheer luck
        that we found  it out. Look at the monitor  and figure out which
        files are  open. Then if  you can check  the file size  of those
        files.  good luck!

        In our case we have 1 gig disks and supposedly there was 200 meg
        free  on the  particular one  that kept  giveing the  problem We
        never suspected an errant program...  but you'd be surprised how

I have similar problems in that I can't run EMM386.exe as it clashes
with the token ring card. I have tried excluding the range b000-bfff
which I thought was the range used by the TR card but this didn't
seem to work.

It's more than just that, I think.  Win.com is a machine specific file
as well, since it is created during the setup /n by merging two other files
one of which is specific to the video mode for this setup.  This way if you
have mixed video modes on the net windows will work for each.  Hope this makes 
sense.

Hi,

I have seen a similar problem in using Windows 3.1 when printing to
an Apple LaserWriter.  If the Windows LaserWriter driver is used and the job is
sent to the queue, errors are generated.  But if we send the same file to disk
and then print it, all works fine.  If anyone has gotten this to work properly,
please let me know what you did.

Configuration:

Windows 3.1
LaserWriter driver sending output to LPT2.OS2 port
CAPTURE LPT2 to a queue with PostScript print job configurations
Using SHELL.CFG (PRINT HEADER = 255)
Using XMSNETX.COM and IPX.COM (will try the ODI drivers)
SMC Elite 16 workstation NIC
ATPS.NLM v3.1
Macintosh imports file (from WORD for Windows) and it prints fine (of course).
If Windows sends the file to the queue, "Error Undefined Command..."
If Windows sends the file to disk (EPS) then NPRINT the file it prints fine!

Thanks...

This is a post for a friend not on the net!
He wants to know if anyone has considered, has looked at or has formulated a

would do. He also would like similar information on security plans for an

Is there any mistake in this autoexec?
Is a module missing?
Is there any update required?
Are there known problems with the mylex card and appletalk?
Any help is welcome!

1) Does anyone have experience with the Kalpana dataswitch?  As I understand
   it, this is a high speed packet switching (bridge) device.

2) I've had bad experiences in the past when trying to provide redundant
   data paths with Novell file servers.  For instance, install 2 NW2.15
   servers with 2 ethernet adapters each.  1st card in each is net address
   1, 2nd in each is net address 2.  Connect net=1 together and to some
   workstations.  Do the same for net=2.  Result=sometimes one server shows
   up, sometimes the other.  Does anyone have experience with this scenario
   in NW3.11 & NW2.15 combinations?

   Our current corporate network consists of 4 NW3.11 file servers, 1 2.15,
   and 1 running NW VMS 2.1. rev 3.04.


PS, the resultant network would provide redundancy, and higher performance
via the Kalpana dataswitches.
