If you are binding IPX to multiple frame types on the same adapter, you
MUST use a different net number for each frame type. His setup/numbering
is perfectly valid, if a little odd.

Since we use Ciscos here to route IPX, I'd be interested in hearing what
the final outcome is on all this. We're planning an upgrade to 9.x
software...I guess we'll wait.

I second this - some programs look down the path for COMMAND.COM, others
use COMSPEC=.  Check down your path when logged on to the network that you
don't have any other COMMAND.COM's (eg DOS 3 ones).  Also copy your
COMMAND.COM to the net (or the other way round).  I have found that there
are different COMMAND.COM's around (DOS 3 especially) which have the same
size and date but aren't identical inside.  One I tracked down to being
patched to default to ECHO OFF instead of on (a one byte patch).  This
caused an INVALID COMMAND.COM error as DOS checksums the resident portion
and compares it to the one about to be loaded - no match = error.

Cheers

Subject:      RE: Novell Capture and PC NFS

Re turning off capture of lpt2 and lpt3:

Yes, presumably your system or personal login script has a `capture l=2...'
and `capture l=3...' command in it. If the latter maybe you can change it
yourself - ask your local manager. If the former then you cannot but your
network manager could. In either case you can still switch off Novell's
capture from the command prompt: just do `endcap l=2' and `endcap l=3'
respectively. This stops the Novell redirection of those ports but will not
affect any other package's.

It is possible to send mail from WPO for VMS to VMS mail but you may
have problems intefacing to other mail systems (e.g. mulitnet) which
would do the JANET connection. 

I would be interested to how you get on. 

There is a SMTP mail gateway for office available in WP's unix
offering, and a PC 3rd party PC gateway called iGate.

I've loaded NETX.EXE 3.31 onto a small number of machines as a test.
The only problem I've found is:
Our MHS PC is attached to 5 other servers.  When one of these dies,
3.31 has a tendancy to hang the machine (can't even Alt-Ctrl-Del)
instead of displaying the old Abort/Retry

Subject:      TCP-IP problems with Proteon boards

I am using 134x Proteon Token Ring network boards in Gateway 2000
386sx computers on my Token Ring network.  After TCP-IP was
installed, the computer will hang at indiscriminate times in any
application.  A Proteon technical support person told me that if I
dropped back to version 2.41 of IBM Lan Support program, the problem
would go away.  Others have told me it would not be wise to drop back
to version 2.41 and I couldn't find a version of 2.41 Lan Support
anyway.  A Novell rep said I should try version 2.63 of the IBM Lan
Support program.  However, I discovered that this version does not
seem to work with the packet driver IBMTOKEN.COM (Iniatialization
error 02).  This seemed to be confirmed by an earlier posting in this
listserv.

A local Novell dealer thought the best solution would be to switch to
ODI drivers.  However with ODI the workstation will not boot up at
all (Packet Class is neither Ethernet nor Slip, Not supported class).
I was then told there is no packet driver to support the Proteon
network board.

Does anyone have any experience with this or is able to shed any
light on this problem?  Am I in a Catch-22?  Thanks in advance for
any help offered.

Running NETX gives you a NOT-LOGGED-IN connection to the fileserver. You
need that connection in order to see a network drive with the login
command on it. If, when you logout, you unload netx from memory you
should drop your NOT-LOGGED-IN connection. Not sure of that, tho'.
The latest 3.11 upgrade includes NLICLR.nlm which drops NOT-LOGGED-IN
connections automatically. Then you get "Error receiving from network"
messages which we found gravely upsets Windows so stopped loading the
NLICLR module.

Subject:      Addition of Storage space

Hi Netters

We have a Novell file server running NOS v 3.11 for 250 users licence
The present setup is that it has 15 Mb of RAM and a 1.2 Gb of disk
storage space. I am in the process of adding another 1.2 Gb (a second
disk) to the file server. I was wondering if anyone out there
could advise me as to whether I need any additional RAM.
We run a lot of Windows applications of the server and also
use it for host communications through Windows.
My point is that how do I compute as to how much RAM is needed
  for optimal performance of Cache memory, processing RAM, etc
 Is there a specific algorithm or is it just based on experience
 You may email replies to me at

This functionality is provided by a product called WINLOGIN
available from Microsoft directly for $29.95.  It also simplifies
the administrator's task of managing users and controlling access
to user configurations, etc.  Call Microsoft at 800-426-9400 to

The same thing happened to me when I was setting up disk duplexing &
disk mirroring with CORE International hard drives and controllers.
The documentation for the CORE controller card and Novell's manuals
both indicate to do what you are doing. However, that did not work.

The tech support from CORE told me to add a lower case letter l (not
the number one) to the LOAD ISADISK command to allow the use of a
secondary controller card. It worked. I still can not find it in the
Novell 3.11 red manuals.... Maybe the grey ones the CNEs get?

My STARTUP.NCF contains these lines:
LOAD ISADISK PORT=1F0 INT=E /l
LOAD ISADISK PORT=170 INT=F /l

I hope this helps.

I've seen this uploading to an IBM mainframe (OS/370 MVS).  It
doesn't always happen (about 50:50), it usually occurs when the
mainframe is heavily utilized (never on Sunday), and it uploads
very quickly until some event occurs, after which thruput drops
almost to zero.  I usually interrupt the transfer, then restart it.
Odds are the next try will be faster.  Our computing center had never
heard complaints before mine, so it doesn't appear to be a
widespread problem here at least.  I can upload to Suns and Vaxen
with no problems.  In summary, I have no explanation but I have seen
this.  /jay bragg             jay_bragg@ncsu.edu  /
