Unfortunately not even a faster workstation NIC will solve this.  Sometimes 
it is the server that does not hear the request for service query.  Maybe if 
RCONSOLE was written differently it wouldn't happen.  Right now the only 
effective work around is to use the command line options in RCONSOLE v2.9.

Subject: HELP: ELS II serious problems
Organization: CSD., University of Erlangen, Germany
Date: Sun, 11 Oct 1992 22:59:05 GMT

Hi!

recently i defined new user logins on a non-dedicated
novell server using ELS II (about 3 years old) and
DOS 5.0.

After the change I rebooted the system (for test reasons).
As there is no DOS partition, the server has to boot
from a diskette.

after mounting the volumes SYS: and VOL1: the command
login supervisor
should be executed.
But instead of logging in there is the error message:
server CHEF not found.

the SLIST command tells that there is a server called CHEF,
but its net address and node number can't be found.

Now: is this a hardware error (ethernet controller, motherboard,
hard disk)? or is it possible to eliminate the error by
rerunning one of the programs on the Novell distribution disks
(e.g. ELSGEN etc).

If you have seen this problem before and know a solution for
it, then please contact me by email or a posting in this newsgroup.

thanks,
klaus

No, unfortunately it can't.  Novell!  Please add this - it's not that hard.
Our Localtalk connected Macs need access to MacIP!  It's built in to
the Macs but Novell's (otherwise good routing) fails miserably in this area.
I hate having to recommend separate (dedicated/proprietary) localtalk to
IP gateways for our departments.  Most Universities (and any Mac/IP 
organisations) need this feature...

Greeting,

          I am currently running a Netware ver 3.11 with the 386 and
          I have some questions, hope you can give me some suggestion.

          1. Is it possible to compress the server volume just like we
             do in the DOS using something like the Speed disk of Norton
             utility or Compress of Pctools ? or it is the only way to
             backup the whole volume and then restore them do unfragment
             of the Netware volume.
          2. Are there any prograsm that I can use in the Netware volume to
             sort both the files and directories ? just like the DS of the
             Norton utility. I got the NDS ver 1.1, but it just can sort the
             file of currently directory. I need to change to every directory
             to get them done.

          3. Are there any way to backup & restore the server volume without
             bring the server up ? I know that there is a options in the
             Sytos for the backup the disk image. I wonder if it can be used
             in the Netware 3.11 ? Have anyone try this ?

          For I can't do the ftp thru the mail gateway, Please uuencode the
          file if you have any.

          Your kindness help will be much appreciated ...

Subject: Developing an NLM Protocol Stack
Organization: InterConnections, Inc., Bellevue, WA USA
Date: Wed, 07 Oct 1992 23:09:58 GMT

                      NLM Protocol Stack Questions

We are developing a client server application between a VAX and a NetWare 
File Server.  This requires a simple protocol which must send and received 
Ethernet Type II packets.  We have some questions regarding NLM Protocol
Stacks is there anyone who can answer these?


1.	 What events take place during the initialization and registration of a 
    protocol stack, what is the order of these events, and which server 
    entities are responsible for initiating these events?
    
2.	 Is the protocol stack responsible for providing any routines other than
    the Receive Entry Point and the Control Entry Point?

3.	 What is a protocol stack control command?  It is mentioned on page 8-2
    of the ODI Developer's Guide for NetWare v3.1x Server Driver Protocol Stacks.
    It seems to be responsible for calling the stack's Control Entry Point.
    If it is a routine which must be supplied by the stack, what are it's
    arguments, when is it called, and who calls it?

4.	 When should the Protocol Stack issue the BindStack call?

5.  What role does the console BIND command play in the initialization of a
    protocol stack?

6.	 How many entry points must a protocol stack provide, and what are they?

7.	 Does the MLID allocate ECBs for incoming packets, or does the protocol
    stack?

8.	 What operations require the stack to allocate ECBs?

9.	 Are the GetRcvECBRTag and ReturnRcvECB routines used to get and free 
    ECBs, if not how are they allocated?

10. How is the protocol type (i.e. 8137 for Ethernet Type II) specified for a
    stack, is it in the load command for the board?

11. Where does the BindToMLID IOCTL mention on page 2-4 of the ODI Developer's 
    Guide for NetWare v3.1x Server Driver Protocol Stacks come from, what
    initiates it?

12. What steps does the console BIND command take when it is executed?  What
    must the protocol stack setup or supply in order for the BIND command to
    complete successfully?

13. What is the proper method for loading a protocol stack NLM?  How is one
    loaded without consuming a console screen session?

14. Is it possible to obtain a sample skeleton protocol stack which would
    illustrate how to go about creating protocol stacks?

Also I would not recommed using Unix to backup a Netware volume or set
of volumes if you want the information restored correctly.

In the Nfs 1.2 manual it states that Unix has no idea about some of
Netware attributes and therefore will not be restored. If the information
you are trying to backup is striclty used for Unix and no Netware user
needs access then yes you could use the tar or cpio commands in unix.

Also if you have exported the SYS volume and this is what you are trying
to backup then it looks like you are running into problems when
the backup hits the four main directories of Netware; SYSTEM,PUBLIC,Mail,
LOGIN.

We do this all the time.  Set the default mode of the LaserJet IIIsi to PS.

Add a file to the PC's root directory called SHELL.CFG.  In it include the
line: 
	PRINT TAIL = 64
The reason for this is that the string needed to reset the printer is longer
than the default PRINT TAIL.

In PRINTCON create two printer defintions:  one for PS, one for PCL.  (We
call our "LaserJet" and "Postscript" -- original, eh what?)  Next, edit each
definition.  In the DEVICE section, choose "HP LaserJet III/IIID/IIIsi".
In the MODE section, for the "LaserJet" printer, choose "Switch to PCL"; for
the "Postscript" printer, choose "Switch to Postscript mode".

We haven't found this to be true.

We have made this happen.  With an Ethernet board in the IIIsi and using it
as a print server, this is very easy.

On the Mac side, you must have ATPS.CFG in the SYS/SYSTEM directory.  In it
we include the line:
	-o "HP IIIsi Postscript" -wb -f hplaser -l
(The quoted name is the Netware queue we've created for postscript jobs.  The
"hplaser" is a default font list.  (We've also used "applewnt" -- Apple's
LaserWriter II NT default font list.))

You must unload and load the atps on the server for this to take effect.


With the proper reset commands and codes in the print configuration, et al,
we have PS jobs and PCL jobs switching back and forth (with very little time
loss in the transition) continuously.

One IIIsi as a print server doing this makes a small network very
manageable.  Add another (or in our case three others) and you can support a
very large lab.  Makes my life a lot easier.

If I've forgotten something or am unclear about any of these steps, please
let me know.

it still shows me as logged in.  Is there a certain refresh rate when the

Hi folks,

	Not sure if this is a common problem, but I'd be surprised if
we're the first to see it.

	One of our users has a PS/2 30, WordPerfect 5.1, and lots of
problems with laser printing. Every document printed from W/P fails with:

"ERROR: PostScript Exception:<random garbage char.s>

	I noticed that the manuals tell us to use atpsv and look for
end-of-file characters, but I was hoping for a more standard fix.

	We're using NW3.11, he's using MSDOS3.3, printer is Apple laserII.
I tried using DOS5.0 and IPX/net5, with no better luck, of course.

Any info or suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
