I addressed this problem to the list a few months ago without any response,
so I'll try again ...
One of my VINES servers does periodically go down for no good reason. The
machine is a Mitac 4280G (33/486 EISA) with Novell NE3200 Ethernetcontroller,
1.2Gb Micropolis HD, 16Mb RAM, Phyton DAT-streamer. Special options installed:
TCP/IP and SMTP.
The systemlog (parts listed below) gives me the same answer today as for 2
months ago.

What is wrong my server ?

This problem is so anoying that I think I would give a reward to the person
who could help me solve this problem !

Subject:      re: Printing Solutions?

John,

The way shared printing works with VINES is this:  On the Mac side,
everything stays the same.  On the PC side you create a VINES print service
for the PAP printer.  You configure the service to direct output to a given
PAP device.  PC users spool jobs to LPTn, which redirects to the print
service.  To do this requires the Macintosh Option for VINES and a VINES 5.X
server.

Has anyone ever seen a situation where I can see the servers over an
asynch connection but mail will not pass.  The servers on each end of the
connection show the line as up, and I can see them as neighbors but I
cant do an MNET or pass mail via the connection.

I was able to solve the problem by bouncing the line.

I am able to load some of the NDIS drivers high on a 386 SX/25 Notebook

I'll send you the config and autoexec on Monday.

Hope this helps.

Rick:

We looked into CDNet from Meridian several months ago.  It requires
netbios to run with VINES so we decided against it.  However, they claimed
to have a VINES specific version in the works, but had no projected
release date.  I looked all over for the address/phone of Meridian, but
must have tossed it

We are currently testing a beta copy of a piece from CBIS Inc. called CD
Connection.  It uses VINES IP and has proved to be a very easy to use,
stable product, and it's fast!  We also tested Trellis Redirector which
tends to be very, very slow.  We did a stress test on both products by
having 5 users accessing a graphics package (Delorme' Street Atlas) from
the cd player.  All nodes were 486 machines accessing  as hard as they
could.  We saw very little degradation in access using CD Connection,
while the Trellis piece practically stopped.   We are impressed enough
that we will be purchasing the CBIS product when it is finally released.

Neither of you mention which card you are using.  I have had no
problems loading some NDIS setups into upper memory.  You don't
want to load PROTMAN.DOS or the card driver into UMB (I have not
tried this, but I doubt that it would work).  You can, however,
load Banyan up there.  If you give me your specific card and needs
I would be willing to post an example.

Another note:  We have not had any luck with the NI6510 NDIS when loaded
into UMB.  It loads but network access fails.

PAP compatible printers are printers that contain a Appletalk (localtalk,
ethernet or token ring) compatible
interface (such as the Apple Laserwriter series or HP Laserjet series with
Appletalk interface option).

PAP stands for Printer Access Protocol.  For more information see
"Technical Introduction to the Macinosh Family" from Addison Wesley

Can one REALLY send postscript jobs to a laserwriter (macintosh) printer from
a PC??  This would certainly be a great time/money saver for us.  If an
Appleshare file server and attendant print spooler is running in the Mac side
of the house, will Banyan jobs just spool to Printserver like any other Mac
job? Hmmmmmm

Subject:      WYSE60 Driver

Greetings Netters,

This does not really involve Vines, but because I first heard of the
Cabletron Packet Driver here, I hope one of you can answer my question.

Having converted to the Cabletron Packet Driver, I am now trying to
remove all terminals on user desktops. A user will end up having only
their PC for all applications. We have one application that will
work either with a WYSE60 or a VT220 terminal. Is there anyone out there
that knows of a TCP/IP package that works with the Packet Driver which
has a WYSE60 emulator? NCSA Telnet will not fill the bill, as it only
has VT100 capibilities. I am looking for both a DOS as well as a MAC
(using MACTCP) client. A Windows version is an extra, but DOS is a must.

An added nice feature would be the ability to switch terminal emulators
depending on the session.

If you know of a product that meets these requirements, or know of
another List I can tap with this message, please send the information.

Thanks,

        I would try replacing your Novell NE3200 EISA boards with some 3Comm
3C503 ISA boards or some other well-known/supported boards and see what
happens.  There are some knowns problems with EISA NIC board (especially the

bit wide paths of EISA boards in some our servers and found out that
performance actually decreased using them.  Hope this helps.

In conclusion, if you have facts and figures state them, if they are

Paul,

        If we waited for Banyan, et. al. to provide documentable proof of all
of the little things that have gone wrong and mysteriously dissappear when
this or that were done to the server we'd never have any answers.

        Like you, I would much rather have proof than guesswork, but I
haven't the luxury of testing all of the fixes, then breaking things again to
see what was really the cause. Worse still, I don't have a random load
generator - yet so many problems revolve around network loading. Not only
that, I can't get a *real* measure of what VINES is doing, as the tools for
that just don't exist.

        I appreciate that you are not mad at Frank, in particular, but the
world at large. Perhaps we need to remember that this field (Computer
Science, etc...) is still pretty much art, not science <Flames to /dev/null
on that comment> and that for every problem there are a multitude of
approaches/solutions (ok, not EVERY problem, but you get the idea.)

Subject: Re: NDIS drivers in hi memory

Somewhere in the NDIS spec. it tells that only part of the NDIS drivers can
be loaded high.  Get the NDIS files from CSUS.EDU or Call the 3Com BBS.  They
have the information about the actual NDIS specification and it outlines what
can and cannot be loaded high.
