Subject: WD8003E -- HELP!! - More Information...
Date: 2 Sep 92 17:46:27 GMT
Article-I.D.: cc.1992Sep2.114627.58578
Organization: Utah State University

Hi all,
	I have had an interesting problem as of late, and I hope that someone
(read anyone?) can help me out.  I posted an article on this a couple of days
ago, but initial responses indicate that more information would be helpful
in deriving a definitive answer.  With this in mind, here goes...
	Recently, we installed a new Western Digital card into a 486DX-33
machine, and I have been trying for about 4 days now to get this machine to
attach to the network.  However, no matter what I have tried, I have not had
any success.  We are using the latest version of the WD8003E packet driver.
I load it with the command: "WD8003E 0x60 5 0x280 0xd000", and the driver
loads into memory and gives me the error message:  "WD8003E apparently not
at this address.".  However, it DOES return the correct Ethernet address for
the card.  The card is also configured (through jumpers) for the parameters
that I feed to it on the command line (see above).
	Because of the above information, the packet driver is apparently
finding the card (returning the Ethernet address) but is unable to access
the net through it.  If I continue after receiving the error message from
WD8003E, IPX load correctly, but NET5 returns that "No fileserver can be
found" (with the PS= parameter) or hangs the station (without the PS= para-
meter).
	Right now, the only device driver being loaded is HIMEM.SYS, and no
other programs are run.  Eventually, I would like to run EMM386.EXE to access
the extended memory (load DOS high and use the Upper Memory Blocks), but I
have set the bare-bones configuration in an effort to get this card to work.
	ANY help AT ALL would be GREATLY appreciated.  I need to get this
machine running ASAP (as in yesterday), and am at a dead end right now.  I
would appreciate comments from anyone on the subject.

	Additionally, this system has TWO monitors installed, a SVGA and a
monochrome (Mitsubishi monochrome controller card), if this information helps.

Can anyone help me with this problem. I connected two diskless WS
to a netware 2.2 network. I made the net$dos.sys file according the
book. The workstations boot alright but in certain applications they
hang up while disk booted ones work like they should.
Is something known about this? I must say that I use netx as
dos network shell and patched the net$dos.sys file with rplfix that
was in the dosup5 update.

Thanks, Jordan.

Hi,

When a Novell client conects to a Novell file server over ethernet
the packet size that is negotiated is 1500 bytes. However when
the client connects thru a non-Novell router the packet size
that is negotiated is around 512 bytes.  The router is being
written by me.

Does any one know
	1) why this happens (ie. am I doing something wrong)
	2) is there any way for the router to influence
	   what the packet size is (ie. increase the packet
	   size back to the 1500 size)?

I tried to mail this but it bounced.  I hope it helps our somewhat.

In comp.sys.novell you write:

>Here is the situation, you work for your University's Computing Department

>and determine that a LAN is needed.  From the point that the department

OK, I don't work for the computing services here on campus, but I've
installed a couple LANs in a university environment.

Keep in mind, that a lot of this may be heavily dependent on state law
regarding purchases.

From the time the deparment says yes:

1)  Work with the department, determine the number and types of
machines.  Determine the performance expected of the network and any
unusual topologies which may require multiple hubs, remote bridges, etc.

This stage can take anywhere from less than a week to two or more
months.  (I've been working with one department since June refining what
they need.)

2)  Make decisions about: LAN operating system, server type, hard disk
size, network cards, etc.

3)  Make requisitions and submit them to Purchasing.  Purchasing will
then generate bid requests, publish them, wait 30 days for bids to be
evaluated, decide on the bid winners, reply to you for your approval of
the low bid and generate the purchase order.

Normally this takes the 30 days plus about a week for the paperwork to
clear.  If you are installing a *huge* LAN you may have to get approval
at the top-levels of administration (or even from the state
government.)

4)  The companies winning the bids receive the purchase order and fill
the order, this can take anywhere from a day to six to eight weeks.
A lot of things can be drop shipped to you immediately, count on at
least a couple of weeks for the delivery of any machines.  (Longer if
they have to be specially configure as per the bid.)

5)  Concurrently with step 4 you can physically prepare the site.
Things included here are power, cabling, a secure room for the server,
backbone connection, etc.

6)  Once all the hardware and software arrives installation can proceed
quickly.  Once everything gets there I normally get things up and
running in a day or two.  Creation of accounts and installation of lots
of software could stretch this step out somewhat.  From there periodic
tuning may be required until things "settle down".

HTH somewhat.

Later,
Bob

Date: Wed, 26 Aug 1992 09:57:01 GMT

Hi there Netters

I have a 3.10 Rev. A Novell fileserver with an Ethernet and Arcnet
card. The Arcnet card is Thomas Conrad with the V1.11 lan driver. On
listing the LAN driver stats I noticed a very high number for the
following stats.

Generic stat:-
1) Send packet miscellaneous errors = 12000
2) Send packet retry count          = 70000 (retries = 10)
Custom stat:-
3) Fatal Retransmissions            = 7000
4) Transmissins timed out           = 5000
These stats are for the 6 days the fileserver's been up.

The performance on the network as become very erratic, sometimes fine
sometimes very slow.I have read the Novell manuals to get more
information on what these stats mean. I found that stat 2) and 3) are
related and point to that fact that there may be a hardware fault.

My question is: Is it a hardware fault on the fileserver or on a
workstation connected to the fileserver? If it is on of the
workstations than how do I find the problem workstation(s) ie are
there any utilities that I can use.

Also can anyone please tell me more about stat 1) what it means as
the information in the manual is limited.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

To save $$$, naturally. Sometimes there is a need for eg. huge databases

rarely, so the speed actually does NOT matter at all. Why pay more for
a faster controller if there will be no benifits at all!

(This is the case, BTW. There is a *fast* ESDI for more frequently accessed
programs/data. Slower disk is accessed 1-2 times a day if accessed at all, so
speed really is no matter as no large amounts of data is normally accessed.)

This is my first attempt to post an item on the Internet so I hope it all
works.

My organisation currently runs a Novell 3.11 LAN.  An additional 26 LANs are to
be established across the state linked across a TCP/IP WAN.

1) I need to establish a Help Desk and am trying to find some not too expensive
Call Tracking software that will run on a Novell LAN.  So far I have found
a product called QUETZAL (from the UK), HEAT, LAN Support Centre (from
Brightworks), and LT Help Desk (from Blue Lance).  Does anyone know of any
products that might fit the bill that are under say $4000 Australian, and run
on our Novell LAN?

2) We are evaluating WINDOWS on our LAN.  We tried to run it off the server 
rather than a copy on each workstation but ran into some problems.  Has anyone
else had experience with running WINDOWS 3.1 off a novell server?  Is there any
advice available?  If we don't run it off the server, what is there around to
control the WINDOWS users so they don't stuff up their environment?

3) Our Novell Servers continually lose time.  Over a month, unless we rest the
time, they lose about 15 mins.  Is there anything around to fix this?  I would
prefer an official Novell fix.

I look forward to some answers on these.  I hope that putting three enquiries
in one newsitem is not against normal practice.

I have with me the Novell C Network Compiler/386, part of Novell's
Professional Development Series. It is in effect, Watcom C. The version
we have is v1.10. 

The question I have is Where Is The Linker? The Compiler and Tools
User's Manual makes reference to "The NetWare 386 linker" (pg 1-6 to
1-8) without comment as to where it is to be found. The file is
certainly no where (that I can see) on any of the distribution disks. Pg
1-2 on setting up the environment variables states that "The disk and
directory of the Netware linker should also be included in the path."
From it's example, which places the directory c:\netware\bin on the
path, I would assume that the linker is perhaps not part of the compiler
package but part of the Netware package itself. However, I have been
unable to locate this file (386LINK.EXE) anywhere in the NW v3.11
distribution disks also. 

Can someone please point me the location of this elusive file. Has it
been renamed somewhere along the line? Is it a separate purchase :-( ?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

We have an apparent problem using the DOS 5.0 DOSSHELL with Novell
Netware.  If I have the following AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

		*load lan drivers
		f:
		login some_id
		dosshell

DOSSHELL will automatically load the last program that was run before
DOSSHELL was terminated or the computer was cutoff.  For instance, if 
I was running Word Perfect at the end of the day and cut my computer
off, the next morning when it booted and dosshell was loaded, Word Perfect
would by automatically run (magic?).  It does not appear to be isolated to
WP.  I've tried it with DOS EDIT and other programs.  Whatever the last
program run is, that is what gets autoexecuted.

However, if I take out the Netware LOGIN sequence from the autoexec.bat
file, then DOSSHELL appears to work OK.  I have looked at the DOSSHELL.INI
file and have seen no clear solution.  None of the DOS references I have
document such a "problem".

Has anyone encountered this problem before? BTW, our test machines are
PC compatibles (Dells) and a PS/2-80.  We load nothing fancy (just
mouse, HIMEM.SYS, EMM386, lan driver).  We also use Netware 3.10 and the
