I believe Austin Erwin has sent you a response on Netwire about this issue.
Is that what you mean by the kind souls at Novell@Austin? What does Novell
Austin have to do with this issue? Anyway. The way the LPD protocol will
work is if the destination is down then it will retry until the destination
has been re-enabled and automatically will reconnect.

Hello,

I try to define a new adapter. I have a problem to define it's address space.
I would like to have on board about 256kbyte of packet RAM, and a maximum of 64byte
of RPL ROM.

The ROM could be located in the C0000-EFFFF space. The RAM is big in size and
can't fit simply into that free area (assuming no other special card is
plugged).

One solution is to divide the RAM into pages (i.e. 32kbytes long each) and page
through them using a control port (like EMS does). The problem is that with the
ROM I might overlap other cards memory space (I thought about having a jumper to
select the base address, but the free address window is really small.

The other solution is to map the RAM to the higher memory space (1M or 2M etc.).
The problem here is the driver (ODI) which should access this space only in
protected mode. Protected mode is complicated! I do not know how switching to
protected will affect Netware (I thought to switch to protected mode only while
accessing receive and transmit buffers). I also want to access the buffers
without calling DOS services which will consume driver's run time, etc.

I will appreciate any comments/ideas. I will be greatfull to receive any source
code examples.

X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL11]

I'm helping someone on campus set up a new NetWare 3.11 server and we are
having intermitant problems.  I'm hoping that someone out there can shead some
light on the following.

First of all the configuration.

Everex Megacube, 16MB RAM, 1GB SCSI drive, Adaptec SCSI controller, 1GB
internal DAT tape drive (with it's own controller), 1 3Com 3C505 ethernet card,
1 SMC Arcnet card.

The following two problems were apparent for a bout two weeks.  however, about
a week ago they suddenly disappeared and we have no idea why.

Preiodically we got the following error message.
Abend:General Protection Processor Exception (Error Code 00000000)
OS Version: Novell NetWare 3.11
Running Process: Server 01 Process
Stack: F8 AA 02 00 80 etc. etc.

(As I said this error disappeared about a week ago, for no apparent reason)

Next Error.

9/18/92 10:36 am: 1.1.112 Router configuration detected
Router at node 08000920FB9F claims network 00008023 should be 00000003

Network 8023 was the 3C505 card (named NETWARE2).  I did the following.

UNBIND IPX NETWARE2
BIND IPX TO NETWARE2 NET=3

I then got the error message

9/18/92 10:45 am: 1.1.112 Router configuration detected
Router at node 08000923BC30 claims network 00000003 should be 00008023

As I said this error message also went away about a week ago, for no apparent
reason.

We now are getting a brand new error message.

9/30/92  12:31.12pm  Severity 1
1.1.140 Primary interupt controller detected at last hardware interupt.

This error doesn't seem to have any effect on the operation of the server, so
far.

Subject: Mac Accessing CD-ROM on Novell
Date: 15 Oct 92 15:14:05 EST

LOCAL AREA NETWORKS -- CD-ROM SEARCHING -- MACINTOSH ACCESS.

I have read of numerous examples of LANs that allow Macintosh
access to CD-ROMs mounted on, for example Novell NetWare.

I know of exclusively AppleTalk Macintosh LANs with CD-ROM
drives.

The High Sierra / IS0 9660 standard can cope with either
PC or Macintosh.

Novell has NetWare for Macintosh.

Presumably it is the CD-ROM networking software eg. SSCI
Express, Opti-Net that demand a Macintosh should first emulate
a PC.

I imagine that the PC emulation (using SoftPC or pcMacTerm) 
places considerable memory overheads on the Macintosh.

My query is: 

Are there Local Area Networks in existence that permit
simultaneous access from both PC and Macintosh, without the
Macintosh first having to emulate a PC ?

There exists a NetWare C Interface for Windows and it can be obtained
through our usual channel (1-800-REDWORD or +1 512 794 1726). Last time
I checked (some months ago) it was not officially released. It may
be now. Even if it isn't, it is unlikely you will have to juggle
chainsaws to "qualify" for the thing. My guess would be it will cost
a few hundred bucks and it may be bundled with the regular DOS C Interface.
You'd have to ask them yourself though. Not my territory you understand....

I'm sure our UK, German or Belgium offices would be only too glad to do
the trans-Atlantic leg work for you. They have probably already done it.
That is what we pay them for!

Anyone know of a utility for Novell which can be installed to track a

rather than the entire group.  Accounting tells me times and disk
space use but i want to know what they were actually doing.  Obviously
iformation should be stored in a diskfile for the user being

I replaced the LOGOUT.EXE (or was it COM ? :-) by LOGOUT.BAT, which calls
the original LOGOUT, now called LOGOUTN.

In the BATCH-File you can easily add setting/removing environment variables,
setting a new default-path e.g. CALL C:\SETPATH.BAT or whatever you like to
do.

LOGOUT.BAT: (example)

IF EXIST C:\SETPATH.BAT CALL C:\SETPATH.BAT
SET MWNET=
SET MWNET5=
F:
LOGOUTN<EOF>

The only problem is, <EOF> has to be in the same line as the LOGOUTN.
Otherwise MS-DOS thinks the batch will continue and look for the next line,
but as you are already loged out, the batch-file is missing.

Hope that will help.

I am getting several NFS errors on two file servers running NetWare

the problem is getting worse, and they often prevent the UNIX system
from seeing the file server volumes at all.  Here are some of the
error messages on the NFS console:

	NFSSERV-Error: Can't open the file  SYS:/etc/exports

This last message appears more often than the others.  The NFS backups
on the UNIX system sometimes fail with the message "cannot read
directory".  I ran VREPAIR on all server volumes and it reported no
errors.  Rebooting the servers doesn't seem to help, either.

Create the following batch file and have the users use it instead of the 
LOGOUT.EXE

COPY CON LO.BAT
ECHO OFF
F:
LOGOUT^Z

It is CRITICAL that you place the control-Z at the end of the logout command 
and that you do not place a CR-LF after logout.  If you wonder why, try it 
both ways.  :-)

The Novell Menu utility was never written to provide this kind of security.  
It was provided as a utility to give the network administrator an easy to 
use front-end to the network.  If you want security in a menu system, you 
need to look at something like SaberMenu or NETMenu.

Greetings Everyone,

I am installing NetWare for Macintosh 3.0 on a 3.11 server and
ran into an interesting "feature"...

Once I got to the point of installing the NetWare for the
Macintosh v3.0 utilities on a IIsi a problem cropped up.  If the
Notify INIT is installed in the System folder as indicated in the
manual the IIsi runs so slow it is completely useless.  

I must confess to knowing almost nothing about Macs, but with
Notify installed this one acts as though a process is running in
background and stealing most of the CPU cycles, i.e., the pointer
spends most of its waking moments as a wristwatch icon.  

I know that the obvious answer to "doctor it hurts when I do
this" is simply not to run Notify, but since I'm just installing
this and starting to implement Mac connectivity I would like to
do so with all the features.  Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated posted here or emailed to hughbria@isu.edu.

Thanks Much,

I know but, when creating multiple users with Makeuser scripts, it is a pain

In my NW3.11 Utilities manual, there is no mention (unless I'm mistaken/
blind/dislexic) of any default settings for Makeuser or any grace login 
keyword for use in USR scripts.

Windows seems to be the only thing having trouble printing.  Quattro Pro
and WordPerfect print fine, only Windows messes up.

What it does is print some of the graphic and the rest is garbage on the

the graphic.  The printers I have tried this on are a LJ IIID and a
