We are running windows 3.1 on 16 diskless workstations off of a 3.11 server.
These are 386-25 with 8 mb of memory.  We have turned of the virtual 
memory feature in windows.  We havent had too many problems so far.  Its
seems to be working fine. I would strongly recomend that you turn of the
virtual memory feature.

Hi everybody,

I will be installing 5-user 2.2 Novell network using "ARCNET" connection.
Are there any tricks that I need to know about this kind of connection?
I know setting the jumpers for the address is one.

Any other comments or hints will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Obviously there must be a router between your token-ring and ethernet

One possibility is to grant the user CREATE access ONLY to a directory.  That
way, a user can open a file, write his homework, close the file, and then
that's it.  He can't modify the file later, or modify anyone else's file,
or read any files.
 
That technique is used here at UMR (although I am not the one who
implemented it), and it seems to work well.  For example, Comp Sci
students turn in their programs by copying them to this directory.
A batch file could be written to automate the process.  Granting temp.
rights is not usually a good idea, as if I log-on to machine 1, and then
you give me rights when I run the program, I can shell to DOS if the program
allows it, or I can run a task switcher and get to DOS even if the program
doesn't allow it, and then I have the rights and can do whatever I want.
(Or log-on to another machine, if the ID allows multiple logons).

Hello!

I've got myself an Intel EtherExpress HUB that's been sitting dormant
for a while now.....

I thought that some time ago, Novell or Intel announced a new version
of the EtherExpress HUB that could sit in client machines, and not
necessarily in Novell environments, either.....

Was I dreaming, or is this true?

I'm asking this because, if it is true....then I'd like to know if
such a capability is possible for this
EtherExpress HUB in a LanManager(and therfore, NDIS) environment.
We do have some Novell up and running in our network, but Lan Manager
dominates.

Are there NDIS drivers for this card available somewhere?  What software
is available to manage this card in a non-novell environment?

Or is the "new" product sufficiently different hardware-wise such that
I'd have to get a new HUB card?

Thanks in advance for any answers given!!

Try Gigatrend's ServerDat drive.  A scsi solution for 3.11, uses 2 or
5GB dat tapes, fast backup with databases, tape management, can backup
local hard drives, multiple servers, fast restore.  Presentation is not
windows but looks like all Novell utilities.

Hope this helps...

the above problems.

We have tried setting Pserver.nlm for interrupts (5&7) and no-interrupts.  
We have the LPT port on the mother board enabled in the AMI EISA config 
program, but have not told it about the mono card.

Novell's Support Encyclopedia reports that a simular Northgate config will 
not support printing to parallel ports using Pserver.nlm.

Does any one have any suggestions?  What's the latest Pserver.nlm?  We are

If Novell was confident in their operating system's security releasing
HACK.EXE should not be a problem. :^)

Personally, I think that Novell should release some type of program
(more than SECURITY.EXE) that does an audit for security threats such
as HACK.EXE, KNOCK.EXE and others.

unsurmountable CSD install problems to do this as last resort.

2. The high res modes come in two speeds: slow and stopped.

3. 256 color wallpaper does not get displayed properly. Os/2 apparently does
not do anything with the color pallete (as in setting the pallete to the 
correct colors for the picture). Other means of viewing pictures (that do
set the pallete) work correctly.

4. Many small errors are fixed from the GA by the CSD. It is worth it.

It is likely the power, we had a similar problem which went away when we put
in an UPS.  The other server on the same power system but using BUSTEK 742A
EISA controllers worked fine though.  Also, the server which is still using
the 1740's while it doesn't crash anymore, whenever I have to take it down
for any maintenance or changes in config, requires a run of VREPAIR on a
random selection of its 10 disk volumes.  So far, I haven't lost any data,
VREPAIR has always been able to recover from the 'mismatched mirror copies of
the fat' errors, but it drags out what should be a half-hour job to 2 or
three hours.


I'm negotiating with my dealer to turf the adaptec 1740s so I can replace
them with the busteks which are working fine in a similarly configured
server.

Both servers are 33 Mhz 486 Everex Megacubes (rev E of the mb) with 32 Mb
ram.

Just to add to Chris' post, yes! LAN WorkPlace v4.1 ships with SLIP and
PPP support in the product. It has been done by implementing a SLIP/PPP
ODI driver (with all the Van Jacobsen header compression and such
built right in there). The driver is packaged in the LWP 4.1 distribution.
It may go in to a future ODI distribution for more general use but, for
the time being at least, it is a LAN WorkPlace feature.

Server to server IP tunneling incurs a performance hit of about 5%.
That is, servers that fire data between each other through an IP tunnel
do so with an average throughput approximately 5% less than if they were just
squirting the data through vanilla IPX.

Workstation to server IP tunneling is more expensive and incurs a
performance hit of around 35-40%. The primary application of the IP
tunnel is to encapsulate server to server traffic across IP only WANs
and backbones. It was not really  intended that you do workstation to
server IP tunneling on the stupid little piece of RG-58 that winds its
way around your desktops to the server. The workstation to server
tunneling was just provided as a convenience for people who have the
misfortune to have their PC plugged into a section of their WAN ruled
by neo-facist, pimply, unwashed hippy guerrila IP shiite fundamentalists.

Now personally, if I were designing a WAN, I wouldn't let anything on
it but Appletalk encapsulated in SNA. But that's just me......

I agree that distribution of HACK.EXE is in itself not a problem, since the
security loophole it used has now been plugged.  But this person is also asking
for source code.  Should this forum be used to exchange tips on breaking into

one.

This would be nice.

Thanks,
