Can anyone recommed a UPS or provide selection criteria for choosing a UPS?  I 
have a couple questions like: (note: UPS is for a NW 2.15 server)


    1.  what kind of waveform is appropriate - sine, square, stepped sine
    2.  what is the maximum switching time allowable
    3.  type - line interactive or standby

    4.  and any and all other criteria.

Thanks

We've been experiencing a problem with a General Protection Error on one of
our servers and I'm hoping that someone can shed some light on our problem -
or at least what the error messages are referring to.

The GPI error occurs when we run machine resets in which we format local 
hard drives and download workstation software.  We tried to do one row
consisting of 8 machines which caused the server to lock up with the message
'General Protection Error - Running Process MPSRV1/2' (we've had both).  We
then tried 4 and still had problems and am now down to 2.  The workstations
are IBM Model 60's with 386 upgrade and 3COM523 cards.

The manual indicates that the problem may be memory related and to check the
memory, reinstall the OS and replace memory if situtation persists.  We've
done all three and the error continues to occur.  Does anyone know that 
process MPSRV1 or MPSRV2 is refering to?

We have the following setup:

	IBM Model 90 running 2.15c
	2 3COM523 cards
	1 Dayna DL/2 for Mac Vap
	1 80M SCSI Drive
	1 520M Fijustu SCSI Drive 
 48 Model 60 w/ 386 upgrade & 523 cards

The situation can be controlled for the time being but I'm concerned that if
40+ users start hitting the server hard that it will lock up unexpectedly.

If anyone can shed some light, we'd really appreciate it.

Date: 7 Apr 92 23:17:35 GMT

Is there any way for a Novell 3.11 Server to automatically switch between
Daylight Savings Time and Standard Time every spring and fall?  All UNIX
machines have been doing this for years!

I read the manual on "set timezone" but it says that this WON'T automatically
change the time.

The only thing I've come up with is to use the feature that some new BIOSes
have, in which the BIOS fixes the clock automatically, but I'd rather use
the Novell method, if there is one.

Finally, we have an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server on our net.  Is there
any way to get the 3.11 Server to set it's time to that sever?

Thanks!

Well, I know that there are some connectors that allow you to run a
serial cable over normal (4 wire) phone-cord wire.  The connectors
have a female phone jack (RJ-45) and a standard DB-25 on the other end
(like all good serial cables).  I don't know who sells these, try some
hardware/network catalogs.  I know because they used to connect AT's
and some printers over long distances, and now, the same cable is
plugged into the phone :)

Hope it helps,

Hi Marty,

our Reseller here in Berlin says, that if he send the dump to
Novell Germany, they throw the diskettes away. No answer.

Do you know a telephone number in Germany or Europa where our
Reseller can get technical support ?

From germany it is not possible to call a 1-800... number

If you dont want to post it, please mail me.

Sorry for my bad englisch.

I think my original point is being missed; I'm looking for improved
interoperability ammong multiple platforms running multiple operating systems.

It's not the difference between the two mechanisms that's important, it's the
fact that if you have to support multiple protocols.  The end user won't see
any difference between the two if all he wants to talk to is his Netware
fileserver.  However, if he wants to also talk to a TCP/IP machine he will have
to load a second protocol stack.

TCP/IP is the one common transport between most platforms.  They all have their
own favourite (proprietary) transport, but at least they also support TCP/IP
with generally the same functionality.  We've always had gateways to allow
(for example) DECNET and SNA to communicate, but wouldn't it be much simpler if
everyone also spoke a universal language (ie TCP/IP) to acheive anyone to
directly talk to anyone else.  The VAXes, IBM mainframe, Unix boxes etc support
fully (more or less) TCP/IP to allow applications client and server
access to each other.  It would be nice if we could do the same with our
Netware fileservers.

It really depends on your current wiring setup and budget.  Also keep in mind that most Apple printers work best when talking on Appletalk wiring, which means that's where you'll probably want to put them.  I'm not sure if it's true with System 7, but other System x systems, you can't have 2 network connections running



 at the same time on a MAC.  So if you put your printers on Appletalk wiring, you may have to put the MACs themselves on Appletalk wiring.

Not quite true.  While you can't have your Mac operating on two nets at the
same time you need not restrict yourself to the poor performance of AppleTalk
simply because you want to print (who Doesn't?).  All the Macs could be on 
EtherTalk or some such other alternative, but run the printers on an AT net 
consisting of only the printers and the file (or print) server using the 
NW4Mac queues to spool print jobs. 

Another option available if you choose EtherTalk for your net is Dayna's 
EtherPrint for the AT Lasers.  

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone !

I hope that somebody can help me.
I have problems to print with "Novell 2.12a" and Windows 3.0.

When I am in Windows 3.0 and print from EXCEL o WORD the first line
in the printer has garbage (%^&$), the next 10 lines are printed
correctly, and then the lines are cut or with garbage or ....

The first time I think that Windows was not correctly installed,
but I conected the printer in the parallel port of the station
and it works fine.

When Windows was installed I select the option "Novell netware
version 2.10 and above".

The novell command NVER gives this information:

	   The NetWare NetBIOS module is not loaded,
		unable to provide version information.

	   IPX Version: 3.01
	   SPX Version: 3.01

	   LAN Driver:	NetWare Ethernet NE1000  V3.00EC (891227) V1.00
			IRQ = 3, I/O Base = 300h, no DMA or RAM

	   Shell:	V3.26 Rev. A
	   DOS: 	MSDOS V5.00 on IBM_PC

	   FileServer:	ARS
	       Novell	Advanced NetWare 286 V2.12 Rev. A   8/12/88


My printer is a 'PANASONIC KX-P1592 Multi Mode' conected to LPT1: in the
server. In Windows I select IBM-Proprinter.


Thanks in advance por your help.

David Foster . 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
                    . . .


   You  can run  several BBS  packages under  Novell.. PCBoard  comes to
   mind. And  there is an interface  program out that will  allow you to
   import  UseNet messages  into the  BBS message  bases. There are some
   disadvantages  and advantages  to this  in your  particular situation
   that come immediately to mind.

   Disadvantage:

  1:  Maintaining two copies of the UseNet message bases
  2:  Addresses  would  be  different  for  those  using the vax mailing
      account and those using the BBS account

   Advantages:

  1:  Additional security  the BBS  software offers  (along with dial up
  access)
  2: The ability  to use a variety of off-line  mail readers which allow
     individual archiveing of messages, ease of reading and replying.

  As  far  as  I  know  no   BBS  software  offers  direct  support  for
  UseNet/InterNet mail.  But there is  a relatively inexpensive  package
  (around $100) that  will allow you to import  the UseNet messages into
  your BBS message  base. This is what we use  here and are pleased with
  its  operation. Feel  free to  call  me  voice if  there are  specific
  questions that you might have. PCBoard is a DOS based software package
  as well.. fyi

near doing it, but things have changed.  I'm trying to set up
a server as a gateway to pass IP packets and I'm having trouble.
It doesn't seem consistant enough to figure out what the problem is.
Here is the setup:

______________________________________________
      |                      WAN ethernet channel addr = 144.169
      | Bridge
      |
--------------------  Ethernet segment addr = 144.169.14
    |       |
    |      Unix(etc)
    |
    | Server gateway (Novell)
    |
--------------------  Ethernet segment addr = 144.169.13
        |    |
        PC   PC(etc)

Here are the commands I put to Novell 3.11
:load tcpip forward=yes
:bind ip to ipnet addr=144.169.14.27 mask=ff.ff.ff.0
:bind ip to ipxnet addr=144.169.13.26 mask=ff.ff.ff.0

The problem is I can't get to anyone on the WAN from segment 13 and 
sometimes I can't even ping the other side of the server.
Any and all help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Please don't tell me to look at NetWare v3.11 TCP/IP Transport Supervisors
Guide.  That's were I got this configuration.
