More results:  I put the following lines into the shell.cfg file:
               SPX ABORT TIMEOUT=800
               IPX RETRY COUNT = 50
               SPX=60

Now the jobs will print BUT Rprinter keeps on dying.  It will disconnect from
the server after about 30 seconds after the print job is done.  At the 
same time the printer disconnects from the server, I get a message on the
screen of the workstation.  Below is the message:
 
    Parity Error but segment doesn't found
    Press any key to continue.

If I press a key, the system will just tell me the same message.
 
Any ideas?

--------------------------------------------------------------- 

Recently we have had some problems on our PC Novell 3.11 network:



Problem 1: After installing "install.nlm" (version 1.56) on our
fileserver and chosing the option "Produkt Options" the
fileserver hung. Our fileserver is a PS/2 Model 80 with 8 MB
memory and two 320 MB SCSI disks.

Question: does anybody recognize this problem? Is there a better
"install.nlm" or is there something wrong with our "btrieve"?



Problem 2: Unexpected our fileserver went down with the message
"general Protection processor exception (Error code 000000)".
During reboot the fileserver found a internal error in the
Network Interface Card (Tiara Lancard/E * MC 10 BT). After
replacing the NIC everything seemed in order. In the file
"sys$log.err" are messages "Primary interrupt controller detected
a lost hardware interrupt".

Question: Has anybody experienced problems with the TIARA NIC?
Has the message anything to do with a faulty NIC?



Problem 3: During usage of "pconsole" (version 1.51) and viewing
the spooling to the queue, chosing the option "Pause Printer"
crashed the fileserver. Our "pserver.nlm" is version 1.21.

Question: does anybody recognize this problem? Is there a better
"pserver.nlm" (a REAL stable one)?



Problem 4: Our PC's (PS/2 Model 50 Z61), with floppy a:
deinstalled, booting from the network under MSDOS 5.0 (the
bootimage is repaired with "rplfix") does not recognize the c: en
d: drive (although they exist). It does not matter whether the
disk is 3.3 or 5.0 formatted. When booting with a MSDOS 3.3
bootimage the drive c: (and d:) is present. Installing a: and
rebooting solves the problem i.e. the drive c: is there again. 
The PC vendor says the NIC is wrong; the NIC vendor says the
MSDOS is wrong; Microsoft will problaby say that the PC is wrong.

Question: does anybody know this problem? Is there a solution? We
want to boot from network and we want floppyless PC's.



Problem 5: Recently our fileserver crashed for no apparent
reason. Rebooting was the solution. Some days later "paudit"
appeared to have problems with the accounting file
"net$acct.dat"; it could not interpret the file untill a day
before the crash.

Question: Is there a bug in the accounting feature? Is this error
the reason for the crashing fileserver?



Problem 6: we made communication programs (with Turbo Async) that
use the serial ports. We want to use network serial port
redirectors that use interrupt 14.


Question: Who has documentation on the INT 14 interface
definition? Is there a Turbo Pascal library implementing the INT
14 interface?

I had always thought that NCR's decision to discontinue the  68k was made
*before* the take over... certainly their 3000's were out before the
takeover.

Also, NCR certainly isn't  bending over backwards to maintain AT&T's 3B2
line.

Subject: Both protocols IPX/SPX and TCP/IP on OS/2 machine ?
Organization: Techn. University of Berlin, Germany
Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1992 13:58:25 GMT

Hi,

in my new project I need to have both protocols, IPX/SPX and TCP/IP, on one
OS/2 machine with one network adapter (16-bit SMC). At the moment I am
running OS/2 1.32. I will update to OS/2 2.1x later. The TCP/IP product I
am using is IBM TCP/IP 1.21 for OS/2 1.32 and later.

IPX/SPX is needed to connect to a Netware 3.1 server for both file access
and access to an Oracle DBMS running on the Netware server.

TCP/IP will be used for an RPC-based application and to import/export
NFS file systems.

I heard about ODI drivers for OS/2. Is that what I need or are there any
better multi-protocol solutions ?

The same problem will arise for DOS/Windows clients at a later stage of the
project. Is there a similar solution ?


Thanks for any info, Ernst.

Whatever book said that is wrong, or you mis-read it.  Novell login
script commands and novell utility programs that are run from DOS are NOT
the same thing.
 
The login script command ATTACH functions as your describe
above.  You can specify a password by separating it with a semicolon.  The
DOS utility program ATTACH does not work like that, and is NOT
documented to do so in Novell's manuals.
 
Perhaps this could be added to the FAQ, as it was asked a few weeks ago here
also.
 
If you want to do this, create a terxtfile (PASSWORD.TXT, for example) that
contains the password.  Then use the command:
 
     ATTACH <server>/<user> < PASSWORD.TXT

Subject: Novell Btrieve 4.11 file corruption

Hi, we are using Btrieve 4.11 as our file manager.  Recently we started getting
file corruption errors on some of our machines.  The machines are starting to
get old (they are AST 286 standalone machines--4 years old).  We have 30 sites
using the same programs and just recently some started getting a Status 2.
I tried using the Butil -save command and depending on where (ie. the record
number) I am able to save some of the records.  If the first record is corrupte
d then I can't save any of the files and must recreate the file.  I tried runni
ng Norton Utilities on the disk (NDD) but it doesn't detect any bad spots.  Doe
s any one have any idea what I can try to test to see if the disk is at fault
or if it is indeed a program causing the corruption.  Are there any utilities I
 can try to get back some of the records?  Thanks in advance.

It's a great program except...
 the workstation needs to either reboot or rerun netx to reestablish a

	Our group has a couple copies of WfW to play around with, and I was
wondering if anyone else had had problems using their IPX over NDIS module.
I've gotten a modicum of Netware support using ODINSUP to run the NetBEUI stack
while using ODI for Netware, but WfW doesn't really "know" that I'm attached to
Netware.  My problem at this point is that I can't afford to switch to an NDIS
driver, because I need TCP/IP over ODI.
	To that end, I've experimented with Microsoft's bundled MSIPX stack,
but NETX hangs when I try to connect.  I've checked the PROTOCOL.INI file
thoroughly, and I'm sure I've changed every reference to an NDIS driver to
X3C503 for the 3Com ODI driver.  Everything loads without errors, until I
try to connect.
	If anyone has any experience with this, drop me a line. Thanks...

While programming an application for a Novell LAN, I have run into an 
interesting problem.  What I wish to do is create a multiple-server (or 
internetwork) application in which critical files (shared) are held on 
one singular server.  These critical files are also (if possible) going 
to be "trusteed" to a specific "USER" to which my application will log on 
as a separate entity.  The trip of the whole situation is:
 
1.  It appears that each server can only be connected to once from each
    workstation.  ie, JOE cannot be connected to server ONE at the same
    time as MOE from the same workstation.  However, eight different 
    servers can be attached (and logged into) by each workstation.
 
    My question is:
 
    If a workstation can have entirely different servers mapped into
    the IPX shell, why can't entirely different user/passwords be
    mapped onto the same server?  Can it be done?  Do I know what I am
    talking about?
 
2.  If a user is on its "preferred" server (or, the one they logged onto) 
    and an attach call is made (via API services) in order to enter 
    another server - the *second* server can be attached onto *seven*
    times!  Each with a different user name!  
 
    My question is:
 
    I want to do this all on ONE SINGLE SERVER, if necessary.  Can I?
 
Your help is greatly appreciated,

Our understanding here is that if we are upfront about it, and do it
for a particular reason, then it is OK (no fishing expeditions, however).
First off, these are OUR machines.  If a student wants complete privacy
and freedom, we suggest that they buy their own computers.

Secondly, there are some very big threats.  We scan ALL disks for
known trojan horses, viri, etc.  We have a responsibility to protect
everyone from these, so a minor intrusion by scanning someones
diskette in our computers is considered acceptable.  Some other local
colleges are even more restrictive; they will not let you in
the door until the lab assistant has scanned your diskette!

The only other scanning I do is a regular, but randomly timed, scan
for illicit software.  The scan is of network disk space (our property),
so there is no intrusion into the students' disks.  I have a database of
keywords (file names from programs that I know of) that are used in
a home-brew scanner of 'home' directories. We have notices posted
(paper and electronic - at each login) explaining our policies and 
the reasons for it.  We also have notices posted explaining that network
disk space is temporary storage space for work files and anything else
is fair game for deletion.  If someone is caught violating this policy,
the files are deleted and they are warned.  Third warning and they
lose their account.

Do not misunderstand me. I NEVER scan e-mail, and I NEVER look into
a file.  But I do look at the files (by names, sizes, and types)
and will delete any that should not be on our network.

If I'm not mistaken, Jon Baird's JRB2 utilities comes equipped with a program
called KillConn.Exe.  This program has the capability to kill all connections
with the "NOT-LOGGED-IN" user.  You can probably pick up the utilities at
