Subject: Cannot get 3.11 to recognize hard drive.
Date: 20 Dec 92 01:01:29 GMT
Organization: University of Louisville

Greets,
 
I have recently set up a machine to be used as a server and I am having a
massive problem getting Netware to recognize my disk drive.  Here is a 
brief description of the system: 

     386SX-25 motherboard with 8 megs ram.
     1 3.5 HD drive
     1 5.25 HD drive
     1 IDE 120 MB Hard Drive
     1 Mono monitor

When I get into the install program and try to do the disk options, the 
program will tell me that there are no disk drives available.  I am running
INSTALL from the hard drive so I know the drive works.  If I type ALT-ESC and
try to load the ISADISK driver, it will give me an error saying that the 
device is not available. 

Anyone have any ideas on how I can get by this problem?
 

Any help is appreciated.

First check which version of LOGIN.EXE you are using. My copy is dated
6-FEB-91. With whis version the problem only occurs if the amount of memory
allocated to your environtment variables is set to the default. Adding
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P /E:512
to your config.sys should solve the problem.

G'day ..

We're running a Novell 3.11 server which has an Adaptec 1542 SCSI
controller in it.  We'd like to hook up an NEC CDR-74 to it and share it
on the NetWare LAN.

Is this possible?  What is require in terms of peripheral drivers and
NLMs to make this all possible?

Thanks!

Subject: Disappearing Server in Chooser
Date: 18 Dec 92 18:04:32 GMT
Organization: Temple University
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL8]

Question to all, we have a 40 station PC and Mac Ethernet network
and lately, the Netware file server has been acting weirdly. Upon
moderate to heavy load, and sometimes in no load conditions at all,
I'm finding that it takes a long time for our file server to appear
in the chooser selection, and after a while, the server disappears 
from the chooser and reappears later. This wouldn't be that much of
a problem, except for the fact that autoattaching Mac's on ethernet
don't attach anymore. I'm wondering if this is a sign of a performance
hit or too much traffic on the wire. Our localtalk segment, routed
from the same fileserver, has no problems autoattaching each time,
however, only Appletalk protocol is running on the localtalk segment
while the ethernet segment has IPX (802.3 frame), Appletalk (ESNAP),
and TCP/IP on it routed from another segment by the same file server.

Anyone come across something similar?

Summary: Need help on ODINSUP
Keywords: ODINSUP

Hi everybody!


        I have some problems when using ODINSUP with DEC PathWorks.
I have D-Link DE-200 card with irq=5 and IO=300. When I use PathWorks
with the following PROTOCOL.INI file and original NDIS driver for
DE-200 all works fine.
        My PROTCOL.INI file in this case looks like this:

[protocol manager]
    drivername = PROTMAN$

[D_Link]
  Drivername = de200$
  Interrupt = 5
  Ioaddress = 0x300


[DATALINK]
DRIVERNAME   = DLL$MAC
BINDINGS     = D_Link
;NI_IRQ       = 5

        But when I try to use PathWorks with original ODI
driver and ODINSUP I always recieve an error.

        My PROTCOL.INI file in that case looks like this:

[protocol manager]
    drivername = PROTMAN$

[DATALINK]
DRIVERNAME   = DLL$MAC
BINDINGS     = DE-200
;NI_IRQ       = 5

        My NET.CFG file looks like this:

Link driver DE-200
        Port  300
        Int 5
        frame ethernet_802.3
        frame ethernet_ii
        frame ethernet_802.2
        frame ethernet_snap
Protocol ODINSUP
        bind DE-200

        My startup file looks lile this:

lsl
de200odi
ODINSUP
CALL STARTNET
ipxodi
netx

        My STARTNET.BAT file which starts PathWorks
in both cases looks like this:

netenvi 145 48
set PCSA=\DECNET
set DECNET=\DECNET
dllndis
netbind
save
schk /H
dnneth.exe /rem:2
redir5.exe /L:10 /P1:128 /P2:128 /P3:128 /himem:yes
setname WS386
use D: \\MVX1\PCSAV41

        The error message that I recieve is generated by schk module
and looks like this:

Error:    Wrong Hardware Vector.  Set NI_IRQ in PROTOCOL.INI to
          Interrupt Vector For Network Adapter.

        I think that I shouldn't set the NI_IRQ to value 5
according to description of ODINSUP
        But I've tried to set NI_IRQ to 5, the general result was
approximately the same: PathWorks not worked.

        Could anybody tell me what wrong I've done?

     cheers

Hello world.

Are there anyone out there knowing a feature that loggs information about 
printjobs sent to a NW-queue?

A logg containing Queue, Username and # of pages sent to the queue, would 
be just fine. Will maybe charge our students for the laser-printouts in the
future. This might teach them to use the "select pages" feature in all 
modern software to prevent the huge waste of paper and toner...

Any answers appreciated.

Hi,

I need some suggestions to pick a server with this configuration:

ISA 486/50MHz or 66MHz 
SCSI controller board which can be used by Novell for Mirroring
SCSI Hard Drives 500 Mg or more, less than One Gig
EtherCard  something which is tested and has good reputation.

I have already had some problems with the fallowing setup and had to return it:

A clone, PAI 486/50
SCSI controller DTC 3280
2 CONNER CP3540 500Mg SCSI HD's
It did not work with mirroring, but worked fine without it.

Any suggestions?

ahhh yes, but in a big organisation finding the computer is difficult 
enough !  A nice user managment system is soooo much nicer and easier.

I am still yet to find a freeware / shareware version availible though.
I was informed that a program named LANHIJAK was availible but I can't
find it on any ftp sites.  If anyone has got a copy of this program,
apperently the early versions were freeware / shareware I would be most
grateful if someone could email me a UUE'd copy.

Thanx, Steve.

I've run Ontrac netscan and Novell vrepair; neither finds any other error.  
I've run hardware tests on the machine and drive without finding any error.

What does this message mean?
How do I fix it, preferebly without re-initing the volume?
What must I do to prevent it from happening again.

DOS and OS/2 machines can map a drive letter to a NetWare drive or 
directory.  A UnixWare machine can mount the NetWare volumes or directories 
much in the same way you'd mount a remote Unix file system via NFS over 
TCP/IP (only UnixWare mounts NetWare volumes via IPX/SPX)

UnixWare comes with TCP/IP (by default with App. Server).  However, I 
believe it is necessary to compile the server code supplied with NFS Client 
for LAN Workplace.  This is not for sure.  I just got NFS Client today, and 
will try to set it up as soon as I get the chance.  Perhaps Keith can fill 
us in on this.

The .HLP files that accompany it (it's a Windows app) claim

The company Wholly Mac Software makes a product called MacLogin Script. 
This Macintosh based application reads NetWare login scripts and more.  The
application can display pict files, launch applications, play sournds, sync
the workstation to the NetWare server, if..then...else, etc.  From what I
have played with, its a nice product.  Wholly Mac Software can be reached
at 707-878-3316.

We'd like to report a slightly similar case.  We have an NCR 3445
with 640M Maxtor labeled as SYS/DSK1, and a Seagate 14600 1.2G disk
as DSK2.  Twice now, during periods a heavy file copy activity (DSK2
holds all the user accounts), the server has crashed; when it comes
back up, all DSK2 partition info is lost and we've had to rebuild
from backups.  We've swapped out the drive this time to make sure it
isn't a problem on the disk itself.

To maybe answer your question, our VAR has told us that if VREPAIR 
can't see the volume, there's no way to bring the partition table back.
That's why we've had to redo the partition and restore from backups 
the two times.

I think maybe cc:MAIL tech support meant that running their product

It is on the expensive side, but you can configure it to be a gateway

Hi there.  We currently have about 8 computers hooked into a Novell 3.11

or better.  We wish to optimize Windows 3.1 for this environment, and I'm
looking for people's suggestions and experiences regarding making a decision
of how to install Windows.  Microsoft recommends either (1) all files on each
workstation, (2) system files on the server, personal files on the workstation,
and (3) all files on the server with subdirectories for each workstation.
I've read Microsoft's standard explanation of the pro's and cons, so I'm
looking more for specific and/or experience-based suggestions that result in
(as far as maintenance as well as installation and general performance) an
optimal setup.

Any input regarding this situation would be greatly appreciated!!, but
