Neat - this goes into the supervisors bag of tricks - one has to be able to to
anything for a user, aparantly without effort in order to cultivate the
mystique that networking is difficult.

Are the security enhancements everyone has been discussing separate and

*both* to have a complete current set of 3.11 files on my server?

***** NOTES from Brett Warthen (BRETT @ INFINITE) at 12/24/92 2:07 pm
This is generally caused by an interrupt or i/o conflict...for example, if
you're running an NE2000 network card at I/O base 360h, this will actually
overwrite LPT1 which is often at 378h.

Aside from that possibility...what about IRQ conflicts between the IRQ that
your printer port is using and your network adapter?  (LPT1=IRQ7,
LPT2=IRQ5, COM1=IRQ4, COM2=IRQ3)

Subject:      Packet Driver setup for Everex SpeedLink

Does anyone have experience setting up an Everex Speedlink card to use the
FTP2026 packet driver included with the distributed drivers?  What changes
do I need to make to my IPX setup.  Current parameters for the card are:

     INT 2, base I/O address 0x360, IPX on Ethernet_802.3

The packet driver loads OK with a packet interrupt of 0x60, but when I try
to load the IPX I receive an "Everex SpeedLink Adapter Interrupt Error".  I
am planning to use Ethernet_II frame type for IP.

I haven't had the time to switch to ODI, but I will do this if this will
help the situation.  Any assistance will be appreciated.

loren,

we use, Intel's Netport, Castell's LANPress, and best of all for
simple HPIIIsi connections is HP's own ethernet or token ring card.
This critter costs less, and plugs directly into a open slot in the
back of the HPIIIsi. a truely No fuss No muss operation.

You are obviously running tcp/ip on your vax? I would recomend running a LPD
deamon at the Novell end and printing via LPR (TCP/IP) from the Vax.

If this is correct and you are running Novell 3.11 reply by email and I'll
point you in the direction of a LPD.NLM which will do exactly what you want.

 Hello everybody,

 i am using this reply to get attention because it is almost the same problem.
 I have downloaded the secdos secos2 secsys secprn secut1 secut2 and secut3
 files from novell and also the 311pt9.zip file containing the latest patches
 for 3.11. I installed the sec files and everything works fine again.
 Good job for novell. but when we tested the program i big fear came to
 mind: our 2.15 servers are not protected!!!!!!

 When do we see a patch for those 'old' servers??


when it is not possible to protect them from that new hack program i want to
 know that very soon so we can think about upgrading to 3.11 or even 4.0.
 That poses a very big threat to our budget of next year (1993).

 Well novell what's ya answer.

The Novell ODINUSP works great for running NDIS applications

Not real sure what the question is here. If you are asking if Windows

You may have private or global DOS sessions and access to all NetWare
functions.

    We use Cheyanne ARCserve and run into all sorts of wonderful

calling Laura Style, manager of technical support, at 800-243-9462.
Mention to her that you heard about these problems on a national list.
It seems that whenever I call, they always have a "technical
revision" that solves my particular problem.  I am on "technical
revision" 5 which still appears as version 4.0.  You will have to
download via modem but they do have v.32bis support.
    They really haven't mastered all of the aspects of Netware.  It's
getting better, but...

        Use LUN 0 because most SCSI equipment associated with PCs recognizes
no other value. Use a SCSI ID not in conflict with the board and other SCSI
devices on the bus; 4 is a common choice for tape drives.

$There was a question about loading all the patches available or only
$load some of them. I would like to know what other people do.
$
$I think both options are acceptable but wich one is best?

   Novell states quite clearly in the documentation accompanying patches
that you should only load ones for problems which you are experiencing.
Both options are _not_ necessarily acceptable.

   Novell tests each patch on its own.  Novell does not test all
possible combinations of patches, so they do not recommend that you
perform this testing for them.  It is not likely that loading two
or three different patches to cure two or three different problems
that you don't have will cause unpleasant interactions between the
patches, but it is possible, and that's a risk you probably don't
want to take.

   You also raise a memory issue ... most patches are quite small
and even loading a dozen patches would probably take away only a
handful of cache buffers.  Unless you're dreadfully short of
cache (which is a problem in itself), you shouldn't need to be
concerned about memory overhead.  If you want to see how much
memory each one uses, take a stable system (i.e. one that isn't
allocating more packet buffers, service processes, etc.) and load
the patches one at a time.  Look in monitor to see how much memory
you lose each time.  Chances are it isn't very much.

MS Windows, MS Word, PC PaintBrush, Hijaak, any paint program, and many word
processors all can print picture files.  The difficulty is color.  If the PCX
is b&w, you can easily print it.  If color, then you must convert it to grey
scale (several ways) or find a color printer and program that supports it.

I reccomend the Windows approach.  Windows Paint can load a PCX, and Windows
supports many printers.

Subject:      VIRSTOP - "Put Disk B in Drive A"

We have Novell 3.11 on a 386 file server.
The workstations have one floppy disk drive and no hard drive.
We used to boot the workstations from floppy disk.
When we did that, the autoexec.bat file on the floppy boot disk
   contained this file:
   ipx
   net3
   virstop
   f:
   login student

The above autoexec.bat file drove the students crazy because it caused
a constant message "Put Disk B in Drive A."  Nobody knew what Disk B was.
I finally removed the virstop.exe command from the autoexec.bat file, but
I have no virstop program running now (it's a virus interceptor program).

Now we have installed eproms so the workstations boot without floppy disk.
I had to have someone else install them because I don't know how, and I
did not know to tell him to remove the virstop command from the autoexec.bat
file and the virstop.exe program from the floppy boot disk.

I think the problem occurs because you can't run virstop on the same disk
you boot with -- virstop demands that you switch disks.  Since we only have
one drive, we get the message "Put Disk B in Drive A", which no one under-
stands.

I have tried putting the virstop command back in the autoexec.bat file
that now resides on the network drive, but I still get the same message;
I assume because an exact copy of the boot floppy was put on the network
drive.

Can you tell me how to make virstop.exe run without prompting for Disk B?
I don't think I could run the dosgen program that was run when the boot
roms were installed.  The real, updated virstop.exe program resides here:
g:\apps\f-prot\virstop.exe

Thank you for any suggestions.

clients: 8088(/4.77?), 286/16, 386/25, 486/50
servers: 386/33 ISA, and also a 486/33 EISA

Interpreting results (summarized, see article for full details):
        1. Packet signing overhead at the server was measured as
           100us (386) and 55us (486). Thus using say a 486/50 server
           reduces this overhead component.
        2. Packet signing overhead at the client workstation was measured as
           9828us (8088), 1970us (286), 330us (386), and 150us (486).
        3. Heavy file transfers and requests will see the overhead similar
           to the above amounts, but
        4. light use, such as word processing, will experience little.
        5. Although the time delays in the table are real, normal mixed
           traffic on a net tends to mask them.

Two crucial and relevant bits missing here at the server.  Namely,
"LOAD IPTUNNEL" and "BIND IPX TO IPTUNNEL NET=3" (pick your own unique IPX
net number for the tunnel).

Blitz this line, I wish we never put it in the example.  This would
connect you to a group of NetWare servers on your local net segment
if they were running the IPTUNNEL lan driver.

You're missing the same two lines that the NetWare TCP/IP Supervisor's Guide
is missing...  In the client's NET.CFG, add this section:

        Protocol IPX
                bind    IPTUNNEL

With more recent IPXODI and LSL versions, you may need:

        Protocol IPX
                bind    2
        (Where "2" is the second board registered with the LSL).

This "Protocol IPX:" binding business is explained in the LWP for DOS
Release Supplement after it was discovered to be omitted from the server-
side documentation.

Also, make sure you load the IPTUNNEL LAN driver on the server and bind IPX
to it :-).
