I set up static routes using the gateways file without too many problems.
Below is a sample.

#
#                             ROUTING TABLE
#
# MES_EXTEND\SYS:ETC\GATEWAYS
# created 1/24/92, John Schafer
#
# List of routes which must be added to the routing table statically.
#
# Routes in the Minnesota Extension Service environment for the Extend server.
#
# Normally you will not need this file, as most routing information
# should be available through the routing protocols.
#

NET mes-backbone  GATEWAY 128.101.114.254
NET 4h-net        GATEWAY mes_4h
NET dc-net        GATEWAY mes_dc
NET edsa-net      GATEWAY mes_eds
NET edsb-net      GATEWAY mes_eds
NET esp-net       GATEWAY mes_esp
NET gra-net       GATEWAY mes_gra
NET hrd-net       GATEWAY mes_hrd
NET extend-net    GATEWAY mes_extend
NET 0.0.0.0       GATEWAY gw3



I use the other two files hosts and networks to equate IP addresses with the
names.  I found that I had to manually change the appropriate routes to
remote after everything is loaded.

Yes very.

Whenever I changed a route from direct to remote all entries above it in the
table were no longer displayed.  We exit TCPCon and then reload it to restore
the table.  The routes aren't lost, but the TCPConsole seems to lose its
knowledge of them.

Hi:

     I have used NetWare NFS as server before. Every time I put data into
this NetWare NFS file system from UNIX workstation, it generate entries
into NetWare group EVERYONE's "Trustee Directory Assignments" - One entry
per directory.

    I don't want it to do so. But how can I do?

    Thanks for any replys.

Subject:      print station policy

Fellow public lab novell administrators,

This might be a topic for ADVISE-L but I think folks here are in the same
situation.

Our public PC lab has 40 netware connected machines.  5 machines have dot
matrix printers attached, 5 have HP Laserjets.  Dot matrix printing is free.
Laser output is 10 a page via VendaCard units.  Our policy is that the
printer stations are for printing only, not editing.  The idea, of course, is
to alleviate the printing bottleneck.  This arangement works ok until the lab
gets busy (most of the time these days).  Some students ignore the printer
station policy and edit anyway.  It is then up to the student assistants to
ask the offenders to get off the machine; a distasteful job at best.  When
things are busy, tempers are short, people get angry, etc...

Does anyone have a policy or mechanism thats works in a public area?  We've
thought about charging for PC time on printer stations, logging people off
after 20 minutes, buying 30 more printers (not likely), etc.  I should add
that we tried print queues for the free printers but the majority of users
did not understand the queue concept and would print 2,3 or 85 copies of a
document when printing was not immediate.  Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.

In bit.listserv.novell you write:

There is a bug in capture (or login) ... get around it by explicitly running
'endcap /all' when users log out. (We renamed logout.exe, and created a
batch file logout.bat to do this).

Gee, I'm using 6.0 and Stealth and loving it.  I do have some minor
problems when trying to run a program called SAS in background in
DesqView.  The only other package that's given me trouble is a
3270 emulator from IBM, but that seems to be related to the fact
that it doesn't like my DCA Irmatrak TR card.  (That program has
never worked well with anything anyway.)

PS. Just upgraded to 6.01 for no particular reason.  Give it another
try.    Bob

The simplest solution is to find a CNE.  They can unlock your server
without all of the rigamarol.  Novell's problem is that with their
custumer base they can't tell the good guys from the bad guys.

The only versions of NCSA Telnet I know are for PC's and Mac's.  Is that what
you mean by "LAN Terminal"?

NCSA Telnet does talk over TCP/IP, so #4 is fairly moot.  Its freeware (may
even be public domain, but I don't know offhand).  Many, many, many, many
sites use NCSA Telnet to communicate between all sorts of machines (i.e.,
PC's at offices, a few mini's and micro's sprinkled around, and a couple
of mainframes every now and then).  However, you will need a TCP/IP package
on the VAX.  I don't know if it comes built in with it, but an easy way
to find out is see if you can telnet on the VAX.  You can try
telnet localhost, which should telnet to the vax itself.  If you don't have
a TCP/IP package on the VAX, you'll have to buy one.  for VAX/VMS v5.4,
you'll need to get MultiNet I believe.

      Yo Campers!

      Any of your Arcserve users out there know how to get out of this
      one?

      I returned from COMDEX to find that my server had given up
      backing up.  Upon investigation I found that all the jobs I had
      in my queue had simply disappeared.  That's over thirty
      repeating jobs, gone!

      I called Cheyenne, but the fellow I talked to didn't ssem to
      know much about the product...

      Would any of you know how to recover an emptied queue?

      This is the third time I've discovered a bug in the Arcserve
      program (version 4) which has either crashed my server, lost
      past backup sessions, or caused me an awful lot of unnecessary
      work...

      I'm rethinking this program...

------------
        The straight forward safe answer to your query is to NOT use PKTMUX
but rather use WINPKT to handle the Windows part of things. A copy of winpkt
is in the pktmux archive as well as on familiar anonymous ftp watering holes.
        Winptk and pktmux and so on are not a panacea for creating a truely
multitasking operating system. For that one needs a real kernel with the
protocol stack built in and the applications riding on the top. Simply copying
packets, or doing judicious manipulation of their contents as pktmux does,
is not the same thing.
        The feeling that some of us have is pktmux is nifty and we admire
the ingenuity going into it. However, there remain intrinsic difficulties
which cannot be resolved by the pktmux approach. Whether it will work for
you depends very much on what IP activities you generate. I suggested what
I think is the guaranteed way of solving this problem, on comp.protocols.
tcp.ibmpc this weekend. That is, have a double ended TCP/IP stack which
gathers together all the magic numbers from all the TCP/IP clients and
transforms them uniformly to new values for exterior comms. This is in
essence a miniature gateway. It speaks to a Packet Driver on the bottom
and looks like one on the top, and in between it takes in IP packets,
rebuilds them, and sends them out the other side as IP packets (as if straight
from the original Packet Driver or application). Estimated size: 30KB or
larger, estimated speed: not fast. Estimated volunteers: zero so far.

This is often caused by mistakenly flagging the data files as shareable.

Seriously consider te Xircom Pocket ethernet adapter. I have experience
with both D-Link and Xircom and really prefer the Xircom.  Both function
nicely but the Xircom is a little easier to configure and work with.

Good luck.

Subject:      PS2 Model 80 Configuration Problems

This may not be directly related to Novell but I will ask anyway.

I have a Model 80 with 4 mb memory with the standard configuration.
The ethernet card is a Western Digital WD8003E/A.  The machine is running
Dos 5.0 with the following config.sys file -

device=c:\dos\setver.exe
device=c:\dos\himem.sys /machine:ps2
device=c:\dos\emm386.exe noems
dos=high,umb
devicehigh=c:\windows\smartdrv.sys 640 256
shell=c:\dos\command.com /E:1024 /P
files=40
devicehigh=c:\dos\ansi.sys
buffers=50
devicehigh=c:\windows\mouse.sys

I connect to the network with the following command -

cd\network
loadhigh ipx
loadhigh net5
g:
login mis/xxxxx
c:
CD\

I have downloaded the most current files from SMC - supr41.exe, and regenerated
the IPX.com in three different formats.  They are -

IO Base Address 	Shared Ram Space	Interrupt Level
----------------	------------------	---------------
280h			D8000h			3
280h			D0000			3
2A0h			CC0000			10

I can load IPX.com with no problem but when I start net5 or netx the machine
comes back with the message that it could not find any file server.

I have ran IPX and NET individually and the same thing occurs.

Now if I remove reference to EMM386 from my config.sys then I have no problems
with the netx or net5.

I do not understand what it happening.  Can anyone help?

I have been using drive C:\NET as the User's private directory.  Now we have 
two stations without hard drives.

How do I set it up so each user has a private directory on the network drive?
