The way we manage this is using connection numbers.  Every student 
machine logs into account login (which has no password, no rights
and station restrictions).

    login login

The first line of the login script is the test for user LOGIN.

    if "%1" == "LOGIN" then
       exit "login lab%CONNECTIONID"
    end

which would then log you in as a user.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone have experience with running any BBS software, either on
a novell file server, or, on a system accessible from novell|tcp/ip
clients under DOS|Windows ? Also, any packages for accessing
news from a novell or tcp/ip client (under DOS|Windows) residing on
a news server. I guess a remote version of "rn" for DOS|Windows is one
idea .... does such a beast exist? We are interested in our pc users
getting access to usenet news stored on a vax and at the same time are
considering an internal bbs for our users, but maybe something with
more functionality than just a local newsgroup.

As usual, all help is greatly appreciated.

You don't say whether or not the system that's sending the bootp request
is getting it's bootp response or not.  If it is, then don't worry about
it.  There are a few non-threatening reasons bootpfwd can get this error.

On the other hand, if it is causing a problem, my guess is that you've
moved the machine that's sending the bootp request to a different
network (which is presumably why you're trying to use bootpfwd.nlm), but
you've forgotten to update its IP address on the bootp server.  If the
client's IP address isn't on one of the locally connected networks,
bootpfwd.nlm won't be able to get it into the ARP cache.  Another
possibility is that you've accidentally given it a broadcast address.

Hello.  I am a systems admin on UNIX minis, and we have a TCP/IP network
that includes several minis and micros running UNIX.  We are adding
an internet connection to the mini network, and wish to be able to pass
e-mail in and out.  Now I've got the UNIX end covered, but part of
this project is a Novell LAN of PCs.  We have the hardware to connect
the Novell lan to the TCP/IP LAN, but I don't think we have the right
software on the Novell LAN to send and receive SMTP mail.  I know very 
little about Novell, so I am not even sure what questions to ask, and the
SA of the Novell LAN is just as much in the dark about TCP/IP. 

So, how can I get SMTP mail going between these two networks?  I'm sure
someone out there has done it: how?

Given 2 486/33 MHz Novell servers, one that is ISA with ISA disk and
network interfaces, and one that is EISA with EISA disk and network
interfaces, is there much differnce in the throughput and performance
of these servers on an ethernet network.  Given that the maximum throughput
of ethernet is roughly 1MB/sec, how much difference will EISA really make?

If anyone has any information about this, or has read about or made any

I am trying to install NW 386 v3.11 on a 386/33 MHz clone equipped with 4 MB
RAM and 120 MB Conner Hard drive. (Hard drive setup as user defined TYPE 47).
I created a 4 MB DOS partition for booting NWare from the hard drive. I 
proceeded with the following steps next:
1.  Ran SERVER from the distribution disk
2.  Loaded ISADISK.DSK at the ":" prompt and responded to default values
    for the address (1F0) and interrupt (E).

3.  Loaded the INSTALL nlm and selected "Drive Option" from the Main menu.
    next, selected the "Partition Table" under "Available Drive Option".
    At this point, I get the following message on the screen:
	THERE ARE NO ACCESSIBLE DISK DRIVES, CHECK TO SEE THAT THE
      DRIVES ARE PROPERLY ATTACHED, TURNED ON, AND THAT THE CORRECT
      DISK DRIVERS ARE LOADED. PRESS ALT-ESC TO SWITCH TO THE 
      CONSOLE SCREEN IF YOU NEED TO LOAD A DISK DRIVER.

I can boot from the 4 MB DOS partition created on the hard drive, so I 
know the hard drive is installed properly. Is there anything obvious that I 
may be missing? I am following the installation manual very closely. Any
help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Well, the answer to my question seems to be that the NDIS standard
requires the protocol manager (protman.sys) to be loaded, and all
ndis drivers and protocols use protocol.ini and netbind.exe.  So ODINSUP
is destined to be a mess from the start because you are dealing with two
sets of protocol layer description files and MAC layer management
software.

[Sermon mode on]
To Novell: look, if you want ODI to succeed, why don't you simply put
NDIS out of its misery and release the ODI specification to the public
domain?  By charging exhorbitantly for ODI development kits, you have
created a situation where all of the TCP/IP vendors have standardized on
NDIS, yet all of your customers are using Novell and want a
Novell-supplied solution that lets those third-party TCP stacks run
along with Novell.  This is a lose-lose-lose situation.  The customer
loses because he has to hassle with ODI and NDIS, or use the various
public-domain packet-driver products.  The TCP vendor loses because he
has to spend lots of money supporting customers with all
kinds of crazy configurations at the MAC layer.  And Novell loses
because it has to support both ODI and NDIS with ODINSUP instead of just
one widely-adopted standard (not to mention Novell has to alienate
customers by explaining to them that it cannot support the NDIS part of
the installation).

I realize that Novell has its own TCP product.  LAN Workplace is a fine 
product, but try to make the world a little easier for those who want to 
use someone else's TCP product.  ODINSUP is ugly.  If you are serious about 
ODI, make an all-ODI solution an affordable proposition for the people who 
write protocol stacks.

Hi netters,

What's the easiest way to connect a Novell LAN to a TCP/IP based

The Novell net is reachable by X.25, probably also by a modem.
I have available a HP9000/835 with X.25. UUCP and TCP/IP are possible
over this X.25 card, but I don't know what I need on the Novell side.
I heard something about MHS and UGATE. UGATE seems to be almost free
($200 per licence), MHS seems to be expensive.

Is there anything PD or free around?
Anyway, also commercials are welcome...

Thanks for any help...

G'day,

we have a Novell fileserver (running Novell 3.11) that has two ethernet
cards in it (obviously to reduce the load on the cabling).  We also have a
database server that uses NetBios sitting on one of the physical cable runs.

The problem we have is that users that are on the same cable run as the database
server can communicate with the server without problems, but users that are
on the other run cannot communicate with the database server at all.  All the
Netware documentation indicates that the NetBios should "bridge" over the
two cards via the novell file server.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Jeff.

P.S. Replies via Email please - I will post the solution (if I get one!)

The original RFD had a followup-to directing only to news.groups.
I have extended the newsgroups: header to comp.sys.novell.
I think, discussions of that kind should be carried in the affected group,
because a lot of people affected by such topic never read news.groups.

I don't think this reorganisation is a good idea. Traffic in comp.sys.novell
is in the mid-range (compared to other groups). So there is no 
"wading through lots of messages" which would justify even the most stupid
reorg (which the current RFD of course not is) just to lower the traffic.

I would see some evidence for the .programmer subgroup. A great number of
comp.sys.novell posters and readers is only involved in network administration,
user support etc. They might not have much interest in details of the 
Novell API.

But there is no need in the 2x/3x division. Most people who run networks
have to support both 2x and 3x systems. There are also a lot of problems
related to the coexistence of both versions in one LAN. So I cannot imagine
many people reading only one of the 2/3 subgroups. In that case a 
group division is unnecessary.

I could perhaps support the division of a .applications group to cover
those "How to make WordPerfect print" threads, although I don't see
much evidence for that, too.

To summarize, comp.sys.novell is at best an average-traffic group.
there is no special need for reorganization. A version-dependant subdivision
would be worse than the actual situation.
I would vote for a .programmer subgroub. 

>	PLEASE post all follow-up articles to news.groups!  This

As I said before. The reorg discussion should not be carried mainly by
the net.enthusiasts who read news.groups, but mainly by the people who
are affected by the split.

I would like to connect a UNIX system to a NetWare 3.11 network.  I know
3.11 has TCP/IP stuff bundled with it, but I have no idea how to use this
capability to connect to the Unix box.  More specifically, there are packages
like the NCSA telnet package, which I can use if I put a TCP/IP driver ontop
of the IPX driver, then run Unix-system-bound packages through a router that
strips the outer envelope off, leaving vanilla IP for the Unix system to
pick up, so it can respond with an IP packet the router will fold into an IPX
envelope....

Sounds dreadful.  Can Novell NW 3.11 do it any cleaner?
