Subject:      Update Software

I recently receive copies of the NW2.2 UPDATE disks from Novell. I was
just wondering on the status of these disks? Can these be made
available to anyone who owns a copy of NW2.2 ? Since most of the
information is updates, not "enhancements" that i assume can be
obtained via the internet and on Compuserve, can they be distributed
at a user's group meeting, or over the internet?

I know this is re-hashing the subject a little but there is a package out
there called Remote Lan Node.  The company that makes it has three flavors:

      1) remote control over an async connection (similar to Co/Session and the
                                                  rest of remote control pckgs)
      2) Dial-in IPX which allows you to become a node on the network... Runs
         decent speeds for software loaded on your remote PC.  Unacceptable if
         you are loading the software from the network side (understandably so)

      3) Remote control from your remote lan node ((2) above) and this
         package works as well on the net for remote control because it
         essentially allows one ethernet node to "take-over" control of another.


     If you are interested in this package, let me know and I will scrounge
up the address and phone.  The place that makes this is DCA/Crosstalk
Communications.

Help!

I'm trying to backup my Binderies on one server and copy them to another
server??? How can I do this????  I'm using V3.11 and I tried NBACKUP...But
it thrashed the binderies and I got the old ATTACH Error when you try to
login.  Then I tried Backing the Binderies to tape and restoreing them to
the new server... This worked but NO TRUSTEE DIRECTORY ASSIGNMENTS where
copied for Groups or Users....  Why is this???  And how can I get Trustee
information???  Aparently from what I can figure out, Trustee Dir Info is
not stored in the Binderies...Where is it???  To test this theory..I did a
Bindfix..(which created Bindery.OLD files) Then I Deleted a Trustee Dir
Assignment from a group...then I did a BINDREST which restores the Bindery
form the .OLD files...I figured if the Trustee information was in the
binderies..then the missing Trustee dir assign should have gotten
restored...but it didn't...it was still missing.

Any Information would be helpful...If I can't restore the Trustee
stuff...is there a utiliy that will printout Trustee assignments by Group
and user...so I can create a batch file to grant them all on the new
server????

I need to do this tonight...so...Ernestly Awaiting many replies....

X-To:         - <NOVELL@SUVM.ACS.SYR.EDU>

To: NOVELL

What does a FAILED message mean when running a Novell 3.11 surface test?

We had been having problems with one of our Core hard drives (various read
or write error messages, terminating usually with the drive dismounting
itself) and I thought it might be useful to run a surface test.  We
selected a Destructive Test and planned to recreate the partition.  The
surface test ran through about 7,000 blocks out of about 75,000 and then
stopped with the Test Type field telling us FAILED.   But nowhere in the
Novell books does it say what to do when a disk fails.  Does FAILED mean
the disk is useless and should be thrown away?  Will a low level
reformatting help?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

You can run ODIPKT and then WINPKT together, however, by giving winpkt the
interrupt vector old_int as the ODI interrupt vector.

Subject:      route.nlm

Excuse me if this question has been posted recently, I have been away from my d
esk for a couple of weeks.

I have Novell Token-Ring clients whom are trying to attach to a Novell 3.11 Fil
eserver which is connected to Ethernet.  I have an IBM 8209 Token-Ring to Ether
net Bridge; the Ethernet module is the enhanced version which is supposed to al
low ipx packets to pass from token-ring clients to my Novell fileserver on ethe
rnet.

My problem is that IBM says that Route.nlm must be loaded on my Novell 3.11 fil
eserver (on ethernet) and that Route.com should be loaded on my Novell token-ri
ng clients.  When I try to load Route.nlm on my server the following error mess
age appears, "Source Routing is not supported on Board 1."  This board is a 3Co
m 3c523 in an IBM 486 Micro-Channel machine.

Any clues why route.nlm doesn't load?

As always, Thank You.

It seems our experiences have varied.  First off, I find PC-Xview an
OK server, but a bit touchy.  DV/X has not been quite so flaky.

I feel it is a bit of an injustice to compare the X client side of
DV/X with an emulator like SoftPC.  They are different, for different
markets, and different purposes.  SoftPC merely enables you to run
a DOS application on your UNIX/Mac box.  OK if you need to do it,
but not really an integrator.

I have several purposes that the client side of DV/X handles well and
the competitors cannot touch.

One purpose is using it for application servers.  Take SAS.  The PC
version is very large, and resource intensive.  At one site I work with
they have now brought in some Sun's to run SAS - but folks may need
to run one job on a PC and one on a Sun.  Put a 486/50 with 16 Mb and
a screaming SCSI disk on the network running DV/X, and that is now a
SAS server.  Susie Somebody, working at her 386/20 over in the other
building can run her SAS jobs on it remotely, viewing the results in
a DV/X window on her screen.  At this point, if the UNIX stuff was not
involved (take out the Sun's) you would not need the TCP stack - DV/X
will do this much using IPX.   But with the Sun's in place, Susie can
be running one SAS job on the 486/50, another on the Sun, and viewing
the results in two windows on her screen.  Before DV/X, we probably
would have bought her a 486 (need to run those SAS/PC jobs locally, in
single-tasking mode).

The beauty of client-side X is that you can distribute processing
around the network.  No need for everyone to dump last years 386 for
this year's 486 - just put a few around in key places and distribute
the processing load.

Norton's SI uses NCP, but it uses transfurs of 512 bytes or less.  BNETX 
only uses burst mode on transfurs greater than 512 bytes, see the Appnote

The problem probably lies in the reason why you had to change to ODI.
The reason is likely because you need to load a TCP/IP stack, such as
Novell's LAN Workplace for DOS.  NCSA/CUCTP/etc... TCPIP applications
are designed to run over packet driver shims, and contain their own
TCPIP stacks.  The TCPIP stack you load from LAN Workplace for DOS
conflicts with those built-in to NCSA's Telnet.

--------------
        I do not get a menu with the real Adaptec equipment. Once the TSA
backup software senses the ASPI driver it sends generic commands to it.
The driver talks to the SCSI controller board and that in turn emits SCSI
commands to the tape drive. The board and drive hash out what the drive is
like. So I can connect an Archive Python DAT or an Archive Viper QIC drive
to the board and perform exactly the same backup commands, only one drive
is a lot bigger than the other. The SCSI commands do the work one thinks
of as being a tape driver piece of software.
        DATs don't need erasing. One can either overwrite or append files
to the tape with SBACKUP, and there's no Quick File Access provision with
SBACKUP that I have seen. I think the README.311 file discussion has been
superceded by the SBACKUP updates (NetWire/novlib, SBACK.ZIP). Here, at least,
I did the update and did not see the menus mentioned above. I have not put my
QIC drive on the NW system to try all this, so maybe the menus will show up if
that unit were installed.
        I could pursue this further with tests, but honestly I have such little
faith in SBACKUP (and scars to support it) that I do serious backups from my
workstation with Novaback.

I know that where problems with interrupt driven printer-servers
(like pserver 1.22) with an early range of IBM model 35 motherboards,
I have a list to what the serial numbers this will extend.
But these problems where all solved about a year ago.
If you need the starting and ending serial number, then I will try to
find the list.

I bought the Accton EISA board for my nearly 1-year old BSI 486/33 EISA
system; it turned out to not work.  Accton says that the problem lies
with the bus timing on some EISA boards (mine uses the Intel chipset, is
made by "FCT"); they are coming out with a new version "in three weeks"
which is supposed to work in many of the systems that the other board
does not.

The Mylex LN390A and Eagle NE3200 boards work OK in this system with either
the Adaptec 1740 or 1742A controllers, the NE3200 has better driver support.
