Subject:      Problems installing NETWORKED Windows 3.1 on IBM 56SX
X-To:         NOVELL Bulletin Board <novell@suvm.acs.syr.edu>

	IBM has just suggested to us that it could be a Novell
	problem.

	We have networked Windows 3.1 (enhanced mode) running on
	IBM 70, 55SX and 60 with no problems.

	On the 56SX we get the Windows logo, but then it dies.

	It will run on the 56SX when set up without the networking.

	Has anyone seen this??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
	We are running Novell 3.11 over ethernet.

The above "Buffer" size refers to the maximum size IP segment in
a given frame that TCP/IP can receive (these are *receive* buffers).
With a 1500 byte receive buffer, your LWP4DOS nodes on Token-Ring
will be using small packets (by Token-Ring) standards.  RFC-1042 
recommends that all implementations be able to support at least 2002
octets of IP in a given frame, so this makes a good minimum for
a receive buffer size on Token-Ring.  Also, 8 buffers is probably 
excessive for most uses.  Try this:

	Link Support
	     Buffers 4 2002  # 
	     Mempool 4096

>Link Driver TOKEN
>     FRAME TOKEN-RING_SNAP

Sounds like your servers are doing IPX on straight Token-Ring frames,
so you want both frames active, with IPX pointing at the "Token-Ring"
instance, like so:

	Link Driver TOKEN
	     Frame TOKEN-RING
	     Frame TOKEN-RING_SNAP
	     Protocol IPX E0 TOKEN-RING

Note: you could start running IPX on SNAP frames if your servers are 
v3.11, but why bother?  Your "Protocol TCPIP" section looked fine.

Subject:      Twisted Pair/Token-Ring

Last January one of the departments on campus added a new
classroom of PC's to their network...they added 30 workstations
(IBM PC's and XT's) to an existing Token-Ring Network.  The
Network is running Novell 2.15 and has the ICLAS (IBM Classroom
LAN Administration System) installed.   The wiring for the
previously existing workstations was type 3 unshielded twisted
pair.  The Server is an IBM PS/2 Model 80 with two hard
drives...thus two Novell Volumes.  The Server's network adapter
card is a 16Mbs card or so I'm told.

The workstations added in January are using IBM PC Adapter II
cards and the adapter data rate is 4Mbs.  The wiring for the
workstations added in January was type 3 shielded twisted pair.
The stations ran fine all last winter.  This summer the
department replaced half of the 30 PC's and XT's in the new
classroom with Clone 386SX/25Mhz machines using the same network
interface cards.

Now they are experiencing difficulty in accessing the network on
many of the workstations;  even some of the old PC's and XT's.
They get the message..."Server cannot be found". This doesn't
seem to be consistent.  You can have a workstation that accesses
the Server great in the morning class and later that same day you
get lock-ups or can't connect to the server at all.

Now I've read that the Token-Ring will run great even at 16Mbs on
type 3 unshielded wire.  I've also read that you need to have
type 2 shielded wire and that one end of the shielding needs to
be grounded.  We did go back and ground one end of the shielding
on the wire with questionable results...

Any thoughts???  Thanks in advance...

Organization: University of Virginia
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 1992 04:17:45 GMT

Here is the problem:

Running Novell 2.2, all worked just fine until a quick power
outage (off/on) The server rebooted OK and all appeared tobe
fine.
However, things seem to be going downhill.
User SUPERVISOR is no longer able to login to the server, nor
attach to it. The error message we get is
"unknown error returned by Attach (89ec)

One user who was made supervisor equvalent is fine.
The second user with supervisor equvalent status isable to log
in, but doesnot have the authority of supervisor.

We have run bindfix 4 times with reboots in between. The first
time there were alot of problems which were cleaned up. However
the only message we get that something is wrong is
"Warning: Error -30212 occured while checking membership in
property GROUP_MEMBERS of object SUPERVISOR.

Also on boot-up of server, after loading the Appletalk VAPS, we
get the message
"Login Failur:error code:236
"AQSVAP Error: Fatal error returned from OS call
"AQSVAP: Login Failure


nd ther last in this list of puzzles is within SYSCON, we get
an error message if we try to look at each users "account
restrictions" section. The error is
"ReadPropertyValue returned error 236. Cannot complete current
operation.


Now does anyone have a suggestion which might clear this(these)
problems up??? PLEASE!!!!

An earlier reply to the concern about security and login scripts and rights
to the MAIL subdirectories contained incorrect information. I apologize.

The rights in SYS:MAIL are in fact a holdover from the old Novell MAIL
system, and in fact you shouldn't need them now (although there is always
the possibilty that some application might assume they are there). However,
the correct procedure to remove the right is simply to revoke the [C]reate
right in SYS:MAIL. You do not need a utility like SWEEP. You can do this
with SYSCON, NETCON or REVOKE (i.e, "REVOKE C FOR SYS:MAIL FROM EVERYONE").

If you experience a problem after doing this, simply GRANT group EVERYONE
[C]reate rights again (i.e, "GRANT C FOR SYS:MAIL TO EVERYONE")

I realize that Netware certification has its limitations, and not all NetWare-
Certified LAN cards are tested with the Appletalk protocol.  According to
NetWare Support, ODI compliancy does not guarentee Appletalk support, and many
vendors test and write their drivers only for the IPX protocol which uses
the 802.3 frame type.

Well, our server dismounted sys: again today. We brought it back up without
the remirroring, but the two Core external drives (attached to an IBM model
95 with duplexing using two IBM SCSI controllers) keep beeping sporadically
as they seem to connect and disconnect to the controller. We dont know what
the problem is, and everyone is pointing the finger at everyone else.

Core says it's Novells ps2scsi driver and IBM's controller, and getting the
ps2opt.dsk driver and latest IBM SCSI adapter will fix it.
novell says it's Core's fault, the drives are no good
Ibm doesnt know anything about it at all.

Any suggestions ? Help! I'm desperate!

If you are in a 3.X NetWare environment, Adaptec SCSI drivers provide
registration of memory above 16MB for ISA servers. We've been using Adaptec
1542Bs for some time with a 32MB ISA server and are very pleased with the
results.

Subject:      Windows 3.1 cannot print to Novell

This is a situation I walked in on yesterday ---

A user on a Novell 2.15 network has Win 3.1 installed, all the latest
drivers (3.10 ipx, 3.26 netx) and Windows configured for the network.
He can "see" all the network drives in File Manager and launch software
from the server, but his print jobs go nowhere.  When we try to  configure
the printer the dialog box can't even find any servers to connnect to.
Sending to DOSLPT1 (which should, I think, avoid the Windows spooler
all together and feed it to LPT1, which is caputred to the network) also
gets lost.  Frequently an "out of paper" error gets returned, also.

Any suggestions????

My (limited) experience with Windows 3.0 on a LAN is that SETUP/N only
works if you are creating a new workstation installation AND you are
using only the standard drivers supplied with Windows (the SDL drivers
don't work even if set up as per the instructions for use on networks).
All other circumstances seem to cause an "Error building WIN.COM!!" message.

I have had to change workstation configuration by manually editing
SYSTEM.INI. I too would would like to hear if anyone has solved this
problem (other than upgrading to 3.1 :-) ).

See above, this is probaly a print-server account because arc-serve

Date: 1 Sep 92 21:07:32 GMT
Organization: University of Notre Dame

I am having a recurring problem on my network.  We are running
Novell 386 ver 3.11 on an IBM PS/2 80 386 file server.  We have
about 40 work stations attached through ethernet wires over a
physical area of approximately 1/4 square mile.  We have 286's,
386's and 486's with either DOS 3.3 or 5.0.  The non-Micro Channel
PC's have EtherCard PLUS Elite16 Combo network cards(using BNC). 
Most of the PC's have QEMM, WordPerfect 5.1, Lotus 1-2-3 ver 2.2,
McAfee Virus Protection ver 4.5v85, and other lesser know
applications.  On the file server we run C-Bord's Menu Management
program (A Food Service Inventory/Menu software system) and Tracy
Time System's Autotime(A Time and Attendance Program).
 
For several months users would get the Novell message:
      Network Error on Server NOTRE_DAME_FOOD_SERVICE_1: Connection
no longer valid. Abort? Retry?
  Some users get it as many as six times a day!
  At first it was just one user so we switched out their network
cable.  Then other users started to get the same message.  By now
we probably have 20 aborts a day over 10 users.  
Users get this message both when they are logged in and before they
log in.  The only factor I can see that remains constant is that
the users have not used their computer in some time. 
The novell manual states:
"Explanation: The file server received a packet and returned it to
the shell, but the specified connection ID did not exist in the
files server.  If the shell remains unattached to the file server
for longer than 15 minutes, the file server's watchdog timer will
terminate the connection.  A router (file server or bridge) that
has gone down or has an unconnected or bad cable can also break the
connection.
Action: Abort the connection; then log in again.  The shell will
build a new connection, id possible.  If the error persists, Check
the cables."
We had our networking cabling support person look at the router and
he cannot find what is wrong. 
On Thursday, August 27th, I increased the "Number of Watchdog
Packets" and the "Delay Between Watchdog Packets" to hopefully
decrease the number of occurrences.  We still had disconnects.
On Friday, August 28th, I turned off our repeaters and turned them
on again.  That caused all of the PC's in the building with the
file server did not recognize the network.  Other PC in different
buildings (but still part of our network) remained attached.  Then
I rebooted the file server.  Everyone could then attach to the file
server.  But on Monday, August 31st, users were still getting
disconnects. 


Any suggestions for further problem remedy would be greatly appreciated....

So what happened here!! and which is the latest version ?
I have picked up 167 from ftp.uni-kl.de - yes this appears to be the closest
archive site to australia !!!.

Perhaps we australians should petition AARNet to add in a novell shadow site
on archie.au ?

Cheers all

Chris.
