   You've actually run into two different problems here.  First, LANalyzer
does require promiscuous mode drivers, so you must use the drivers that come
with the product or MORE recent versions, not older versions.  If you are
using incorrect drivers, then loading di.com (before starting Windows) will
cause error messages about the driver being unsupported.
   Secondly, you found a minor, but embarrassing bug in our 1.0 release. 
This is the first January for the 1.0 release, since it came out last spring,
and there is a bug that causes large numbers of false alarms to occur in
January of any year :-(.  How we managed to do this is a long story, but
it was noticed on Monday January 4th, fixed on Tuesday the 5th, and the fix
was available on Wednesday the 6th, after we tested other dates.
   The fix is available on Compu$erve, in NovLib under the file name
squery6.zip (I think).  If you don't have Compu$erve access, send me
email and I'll try to make sure that it appears in one of our FTP sites,
if its not there already.  A temporary workaround is to set your machine's
date forward one month to February.

	Yes, run the pconfig prgram that comes with pmail and grant 
the login that you want to forward the mail from, "extended rights".
After you have granted the login extended rights, run pmail under that
login and go to the preferences section.  You will now see a new choice
called "extended features".  Choose this and you will be able to 
autoforward both local and internet mail to some other address.

Certainly. All versions of NetWare will co-exist on a LAN; I'm running 
2.15c, 2.12, and 3.11 on the same net with TCP/IP. 

Rather than bridging it to the other, just plug it in to the same 
cable. (Presuming they have 10Base2 now, and you're expanding via
10BaseT, use the coax to tie the servers together and attach to the
hubs. Works great and has one less repeater count than using twisted
pair to the servers.)

Hi,

I am a bit suprised that your boss didn't supply you with the documentation and
sales literature that you must have around your office somewhere.  Certainly
there is such literature and you probably have been recieving it for some time
in those huge sales packets.  

At any rate, I'll give you a few bits from my manual.

1.  NW4MAC (v3.x) runs on NetWare v3.11.  It consists of basically 3 *.NLMs:

	a.  APPLETLK.NLM
	b.  AFP.NLM
	c.  ATPS.NLM

2.  A monitoring NLM is also provided and is called ATCON.NLM.  Also client 
utilities for the Macintosh are provided.

3.  The memory requirements are largely dependant on your particular 
requirements.  For example, you need just 200k to load APPLETLK.NLM but the
memory you need for things like ECB (packet recieve buffers) or for increase
file caching is pretty much dependant on your particular needs.

If you do not have the documentation to which I refer, please contact the
Pre-Sales Support Team via. our Technical Support Hotline (1-800-NETWARE, USA).
They will send you the sales information you seek.

Think Peace...

Has anyone had any experience with the CORE MicroArray?  We are 
considering the ~ 500MB version.  According to PC Week the newer 842MB 
version (and I assume the smaller version) is not a true RAID 5 but uses 
a parity drive (RAID 3) as well as data striping.  Our main application 
is a data base so we do a lot of small transfers for which RAID 3 is not 
best suited I believe.  Is this going to be a suitable system?

Why not just setup a local.BAT file for each machine that just issues the
CAPTURE (and other local stuff)?  Then execute the local.BAT file from a 
login.BAT file or from the SYSTEM LOGIN script.  Either way the capture 
command would be indigineous(sp?) to the specific machine.  This is 
assuming, of coarse, that you allow EVERYONE to print to all of the 
queues. 

Hope this helps.

We can't write to our Novell volume from Mac running system 7.1.
The volume is 2.3 Gb on 2 disks. We can write on the volume from system

Suggested solution is to split the volume in 2 volumes because system
7 can't read volumes more than 2 Gb.

Is this correct??

Date: 21 Jan 1993 17:46:13 -0600
Organization: UTexas Mail-to-News Gateway
NNTP-Posting-Host: cs.utexas.edu



Question: What is the MAXIMUM number of workstations that a  486 MSDOS server
can handle and still give reasonable performance with Novell network?

We want to setup a lab with 486 50Mhz (or better) file servers and
286 DOS workstations for students doing (mostly) editing and compiling.
The number of workstations will be anywhere from 75 - 100.

Any information and suggestions about the optimal way to handle 75+
workstations with a server (or maybe we will need more than one)
wil be appreciated.

I contaced a local Novell dealer and he told me that they only sell
network hardware for upto 20 users. According to him a 50 user system
is also out there but is not common (so he does not carry it).

Is it possible (at all) to have a 75+ workstations system?

You may also simply exit the login script to a bat file and within 
that bat file, call rprinter.exe.  Let me give you an example.

LOGIN SCRIPT
	map s1:=sys:public
	#capture
	exit "print.bat"

PRINT.BAT (found in public)
	rprinter pserver 0

The syntax for rprinter.exe is "rprinter printServerName printerNumber".
If you use this method in the system login script, the user's login scripts 
won't be executed.

Hi,

I cannot say too much about products that have not yet been released.  But I 
can say that what you are asking for (AppleShare v3.0 support) is certainly
within the relm of possibility.  However, specific implementations are subject
to the designing engineer's judgement concerning which feature are supported.
How's that for a fluffy answer? I do not mean to belittle your question, but I
really cannot say much about this.  Feel free to read as much or as little into
the above statement.

However, might I suggest that you can assign GROUPS as TRUSTEES to any file or
folder on the NetWare server.  This really makes your work easier because there
is really no reason to have GROUP OWNERSHIP on the NetWare volume.  Just assign
the GROUP as a TRUSTEE to the file and give that group all rights to the file.
Then all members of the group will be able to do as they please with the file.

I hope this helps...

Think Peace...
