The problem is/was that the machine crashes if you do not have the latest
shells and ipx completely installed.
I"ve experienced the behaviour that the machine had to be cold booted after
these crashes that occured after a random number of keystrokes in the
rconsole window. Upgrading to shell 3.26 solved it.

 I understand that with NetWare version 3.10 and above, passwords can be
encrypted before they are transmitted across the network. This obviously
provides protection against a passive intruder scanning for login packets
which contain plaintext passwords.

 However, what protection does NetWare provide against an intruder capturing a
login packet and replaying it at a future date? Does NetWare ensure the
timeliness of login packets? For example, is a challenge/response mechanism
used between the file server and workstation to ensure that a login packet is
fresh and not a replay?

 Thanks in advance for anyone out there being able to clarify this question.

We now print from our Macs through our Novell file server (Tricord).
The server forwards the print jobs to Apple LaserWriters on a LocalTalk
section of cable.  It all worked fine until we tried to use the new
LaserWriter drivers 7.1 and 7.1.1 on the TuneUp disks.  These cause
an error with the print server not recognizing a particular PostSCript

Anyone able to make this work?

Summary: Anybody interested in such a library ?
Keywords: communication SPX IPX
Organization: Techn. University of Berlin, Germany
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 1992 16:34:25 GMT

Hi everybody,

I just finished developing a C library which enables programs running on
workstations in a Novell network to communicate with each other. The
library uses the SPX/IPX protocol, so it can establish reliable connections
to multiple machines on the net. It is very easy to use, because it
handles all the complicated SPX/IPX stuff internally.

Now my question :

Could anybody else use such a library ?

If there is enough interest, I would make the library publicly available. I
might charge a small fee in that case , because I still have to translate
the documentation into English, remove Novell-copyrighted code and
test it with other compilers (currently only tested with Borland C++).

If you are interested, please send me e-mail and tell me which compiler
you are using.


Thanks for your interest, Ernst.

Hm...
We get told all the time that ODI would be Novell's future drivers. But 
a change would be more reasonable, if Novell continued to support all media
it supported with linked drivers. Let me give two examples:

- Asynch. Admittedly the asynch support with linked drivers was poor
  (max. 2400 Bd), but it was there. Now we hear since months about PPP, but
  there is neither a SLIP nor a PPP driver for netware, and, frankly said I
  doubt that we ever will see it in normal Netware, but only with the
  multiprotocol router.
- IBM Lan Support Program. Yes, there is a LANSUP ODI driver - but
  it is impossible to run it together with other LANSUP software,
  as we run the linked ipx. Since this is, given the existence of the 
  TOKEN.COM ODI driver, the only reason to run the Lan Support Program, 
  this driver is quite worthless for a lot of people. I would love to upgrade
  some of my stations, but I need the IBMTOKEN packet driver - and that
  doesn't coexist with the LANSUP ODI. This problem has been reported here and
  in other places, but I never saw a solution, not even a comment by 
  Novell.

I guess there are more cases I don't know about.
Also disappointing with the ODI stuff is the silent disappearence 
of the standalone router as part of Netware. A license for the netware-runtime
should be part of every Novell-Box. I understand that the advanced routing
features planned by novell shall be an own product, but I would like
to have standalone routers routing all my server can route.
I know that the 2.x based routers are still there, but I doubt you will 
find all four driver-types for every NIC in the future.

Sigh! A "mount -t NFS -o rsize=1024 netware:/vol/dir /netware" would
almost certainly have remedied your little "problem". NetWare NFS on
a typical 386/33 squirts 8K datagrams out onto an Ethernet wire in
5 1518 byte packets and a sixth 938 byte packet (making up the difference)
with a tail to tail IPG of around 1.3 milliseconds. If someone who can 
afford batteries would like to subtract 1518*8 ten millionths of a second 
from this you will have the tail to head IPG (I own a LANalyzer, not an an 
Osciloscope!). When you've worked that out, you will have a value that you 
can be rest assured is too small a time period for your SCO client to catch 
its packet receiving breath in.

There is a small patch for DR-DOS 6.0 that you need to install to run 
Windows 3.1. Its on sjf-lwp.novell.com in the "drdos/drdos/dr6win.zip"

If you have the time or inclination to argue the toss about the pros and 
cons of statelessness in distributed file system protocols you'll find 
plenty of people willing to entertain you over on comp.protocols.nfs. I have 
niether the former nor the latter.

SPX should work without a NetWare-server. We use a lot of SPX and we don't
need a server! However, some applications use the bindery (a sort of database)
in the servers to localize the computer to talk with.

ISADISK will NOT work with SCSI's!  I have an Adaptec 1541 Scuzi adapter in my

This new naming feature is always enabled, and always uses the server name.
There is NO load line parameter to set it.

For upgrading NW4Mac 3.01 to 3.011, you will have to pay a nominal upgrade

Its not a bug. Its doing what it is supposed to. (ie show the network/node
address of the file servers). What you want is a utility that will show you the
last router to go through for a particular server. It can be considered a 'bug'
though for 286 servers as it will always report the address of card 'A',
whether you are talking to 'A' or 'B'. In fact there is an app not out
describing exactly why this is done this way (About sept '90 I think).
