Myron, I can think of a few reasons for this:

  1.) Insufficient DOS environment space to expand NetWare search
      mappings in your path;
  2.) Redirecting COMSPEC to an invalid version on the server;
  3.) Problems loading various drivers/TSRs into upper memory.

In case 1, this may be corrected by allocating more memory to the
Environment area.  Including the command:

	SHELL=c:\COMMAND.COM /E:xxxx /P

in your CONFIG.SYS may help.  The value "xxxx" is replaced with the
number of bytes to allocate to the environment.  I use 1024 bytes
here, and this usually proves satisfactory.

In case 2, you must be aware that there are at least two different
revision levels of DOS 4, plus additional variations from different
OEMs of MS-DOS.  DOS 4.00 was superceeded by DOS 4.01.  However, both
versions look identical to the NetWare shell, and using a command
sequence such as:

	MAP INS S1:=SYS:PUBLIC\%OS\%OS_VERSION
	COMSPEC=S1:COMMAND.COM

in your system or personal login script will always make the copy of
COMMAND.COM located in SYS:PUBLIC\MSDOS\V4.00 your default command
line interpretor (regardless as to whether you are using DOS version
4.00 or 4.01 and to the presence of a directory V4.01).

Further, it is difficult to determine which version of DOS4 you
actually are using, since (as I recall it) both report back V4.00 to
the VER command.  In any event, you may want to consider moving up to
V5.00 or down to V3.30 (though beware that there are also two
different versions of V3.30, at least from IBM!).  Either release of
DOS is more memory-efficient and reliable than all versions of V4.x.

In case 3, you should verify the parameters of your EMM386.EXE,
QEMM.SYS, or other memory manager driver in your CONFIG.SYS to make
certain you have mapped-out all RAM addresses for expansion boards in
your system (including network boards and other expansion cards that
use shared RAM between addresses A000-FFFF).  If this does not solve
the problem, you are then left with the tedious task of moving all
drivers and TSRs to conventional memory, then loading-high each one at
a time until the problem reoccurs, thus indicting the last program you
moved high as incompatible with UMB.

I hope this helps you out.--

Hello world, forgive me if this is a FAQ - i'm new to this group.

We've just upgraded from 2.15c to 3.11, and have encountered a
few problems with ATPS (NetWare for Mac 3.01).. Which is:

2 local HP LaserJet III, w/AT interface are hooked up to our net
by Dayna's EtherPrints. The 2 printers are clearly visible to the
Macs (running 7.0.1, TU 1.1.1) through the Chooser (7.1). BUT they
remain completely invisible to ATCON.... 

I wanted to enable to PC users to print on them, so i created 2 queues
with PCONSOLE, which worked, but when ATPS loads, it just cannot find
them 2 printers..

	Can't find <LaboImage DAE@LaserWriter:*>, retrying ...
	
Now I've tried specifying, the queues in all different manners, w/o success..

The ATPS.CFG looks like:

	"LaboImage DAE:Acacias" -o LABOIMAGE -Wf
	
The EtherPrint manual seemed to indicate that a router problem might be
the cause, but what bothers me is that ATCON sees all the Mac (WorkStations)
but not these damn printers .. 

Now, EtherPrint is compatible with HP  LJ III (the macs can actually print on
them directly!!), EtherPrint claims to be NetWare compatible too, so remains
the HPs - but NW for Mac mentions the LaserWriter-compatible printers are okay,
so what else ? 

Has anybody experienced similar problems ? Hints, ideas, comments welcome..

Regards from rainy Geneva :-(

Yes, we have had some customers using VMS client NFS implementations
against NetWare NFS.  Certainly Wollongong and I think TGV too (Marty?).

No. The NFS piece of NetWare NFS is a server.

Right. If this is the need, NetWare NFS does not address it. At least
not the file service needs. Both NetWare NFS and its baby brother
FLeX/IP probably would address any print service needs whatever they
may be, if they are there.

>Then etWare product(s) can be used to achieve that?

There's a few. Our "preferred" solution at the client is LAN WorkPlace
used in conjunction with LAN WorkPlace NFS. It should also be noted
that LWP and LWPNFS have about a dozen competitors and the list seems
to be growing every day. DOS and Windows TCP/IP vendors are positively
crawling out of the woodwork. I'll leave it to others to do a "town
cryer" number on who they all are and what the experiences with them
has been. Bottom line is that I'm a happy LAN WorkPlace camper and none
of the new kids on the block have done anything even close to
interesting enough to make me wish I had their product instead. Not a
very innovative bunch I'm afraid, unless you call turning things into
DLLs "innovation" of course. :-) Anyway, none of them are eating our
lunch although I understand a couple of them have designs on taking a
nibble at our side salad. :-)

Other solutions include placing NetWare for UNIX implementations on your
UNIX systems and/or NetWare for VMS (which we do still sell) on your
VAXen to achieve the desired effect.

Hello,

As the writers of the program HACK.EXE (Novell fix: SECURE.ZIP) we would
like to say the following: it is hardware independent, it will work on
any type of hardware as long as IPX has been loaded. We have tried it on
our Ethernet and Token-Ring networks. The fix by Novell solves part of
the problem: it prevents a simple user from acquiring additional rights,
but at the same time it disconnects the workstation the supervisor is

Subject: Subnet masking with Novell TCPIP.NLM v1.01
Summary: Appropriate subnet masking with Netware 3.11
Organization: University of Cincinnati
Date: Mon, 5 Oct 1992 03:17:20 GMT

Hello,

  I work for a small college who is just getting access to the Internet.
We currently have a Novell 3.11 server serving 3 Ethernet segments.  The
Internet address we were assigned is a class C address, which we need to
divide to cover the 3 ethernet segments.
  To do this, I initially set the subnet mask to FF.FF.FF.E0 which left
the last five bits of the address as the host portion.  This way, I
could have up to 6 networks with 32 nodes per network.  With that, I
went ahead and tried to bind IP to the three boards appropriately...
here's an excerpt from my Autoexec.ncf....

:LOAD NE3200 SLOT=3 NAME=IP-ADMIN FRAME=ETHERNET_II
:LOAD NE3200 SLOT=5 NAME=IP-OPEN FRAME=ETHERNET_II
:LOAD NE3200 SLOT=6 NAME=IP-486 FRAME=ETHERNET_II
:LOAD TCPIP FORWARD=YES
:BIND IP TO IP-ADMIN ADDR=192.153.33.33 MASK=FF.FF.FF.E0
:BIND IP TO IP-OPEN ADDR=192.153.33.65 MASK=FF.FF.FF.E0
:BIND IP TO IP-486 ADDR=192.153.33.97 MASK=FF.FF.FF.E0

  This all loads and binds correctly, and, I can access any of the three
boards from their respective network segments, but TCPIP.NLM will NOT do
any forwarding between the networks. 

  The interesting thing is, if I theoretically change the subnet mask
and addresses to something like...

:LOAD TCPIP FORWARD=YES
:BIND IP TO IP-ADMIN ADDR=192.153.33.1 MASK=FF.FF.FF.00
:BIND IP TO IP-OPEN ADDR=192.153.34.1 MASK=FF.FF.FF.00
:BIND IP TO IP-486 ADDR=192.153.35.1 MASK=FF.FF.FF.00

  then it works perfectly, and TCPIP.NLM will do the appropriate
routing.  

My question (now that I got all that out of the way), is why doesn't
TCPIP.NLM do the forwarding when the subnet mask is FF.FF.FF.E0?  Is
there some sort of restriction (bug) with Novell's implementation of TCPIP
that makes that illegal?  The Novell TCPIP documentation basically isn't
worth the paper it's printed on, so I've been referencing another book,
_Internetworking_With_TCP/IP_ by Douglas Comer.  According to that, I
should be able to do the subnetting as I want to....

  I guess if Novell's TCPIP will not do the routing, then my only
options are to a) get a class B address, or b) buy a dedicated router?

Any help, comments, suggestions, or babblings are quite welcome...

Multi Protocol Router 2.0, oops I never heard of such a product here in  
germany, but maybe this could be the solution to my problem, so here it  
is:

A part of our company is moving to another building just around the  
corner but we can't put an ethernet cable to them. So we have to do a  
little internetworking over telephone lines. Our network consist of  
eight Novell-Servers, one UNIX server, hundreds of PC's, several NeXT  
and some Mactinosh's. 

Up to now we thought we would connect them via Hayes-compatible Modem  
or via an ISDN adaptor-cars from a german company (Meyn-Consulting) and  
with the therefore configured external Novell-Router. The problem with  
this is that we can't use these router for TCP/IP or AppleTalk.

The big question now is can we route all these three protocols over the  
MultiProtocol-Router and do the two hardware solution we got, work  
together with MPR? Is MPR a product for an internal or external router  
or is it both?

Thanks in advance

Try hitting <return> every 75 characters or so.  Makes your messages a

At any rate, there is no such thing as a "Novell application".  There
are programs that run under Netware, called VAPs or NLMs (depending on
your version of Netware), but I don't think that's what you're talking
about -- those run on the fileserver, and don't do much interaction
with clients.  All the Netware fileserver does is serve files; it does
not execute them.  Therefore, there is no such thing as a "Netware
application", and thus a telnet server for Netware would be pretty
useless.

There *is* software that allows you to log into a PC over the network,
or from a modem, and run programs on that PC with the displays going
to the PC on your end.  I don't know if something similar is available
for the Mac.  Remote access is a lot simpler with Unix workstations.
Dumb terminals, again, are not actually executing programs -- so
remote access is both unavailable and pretty useless.

Hi 
does anyone know of a utility which will allow one to find the *LAST* station which logged in, like just before a system abend?

I've just spent a sleepless week trying to identify and fix a server (3.11) abend problem.  In the end it turnrd out to be a bindery corruption of a printer Q, and the abend was usually caused by a workstaion running print assist accessing this Q.  

Each time the abend occurred we were in for a 15 minute reboot at best, or a 60 minute vrepair plus 2 reboots, and it took quite a few crashes before getting to the cause of the problem.

If we could have established the address of the machine logging in it would have made life a whole lot easier!!
