  The same happens if you start XTNET in a monochrome workstation, with
odi drivers, after moving a while, it freezes and puts some garbage on screen,
does anyone know of a fix for this?

Why should one have to do this?  In our case, it means users get an
extra prompt when remote-booting (it asks for the packet type).
It's precisely this sort of vague kludge that makes me, as someone who
is used to the precision of "SNA Formats", so dubious about NetWare.

I'm afraid that I can't offer a sl[3~solution, but I have the same
symptom on one of our servers.  The server has an Intel 10BT hub adapter

Hi,

   I'm desperate....we are using Sytos Plus to back up our 3.11 server. Despite
all the negative things I have seen on this list, it worked great for over a
year.  A couple of days ago it stopped working, giving real strange errors.
It says either "the backup device is not in the list of cofigured devices" and
"can not create file selection list" .  We have done 2 things that we can think
of lately...we loaded sitelock and added 2000 user accounts.  Is anyone out
+ there
using sytos on a similar system.  I suspect it is the increased number of
directories that is the problem, it seems to be giving "out of memory" and
"out of disk space" type errors.

thanks

Subject:      IP on Tiara Arcnet

General inquiry, does anyone know of IP capability with Tiara arcnet
cards and IP packets? Is there an ODI driver available for this type of
card?

Our main 3.11 server has two ethernet cards routing IPX and IP packets
(one for local IPX traffic, the other to an IP router to
our main campus backbone). We have a student lab with 16 Tiara Arcnet
PC's bridged to our IPX ethernet card and would like to run NCSA telnet on
these machines. The question I have is, is this possible? And will the
configuration work with an Arcnet to Ethernet bridge/router?

Subject:      Weird PSERVER problem

I've run into a rather wierd problem, using PSERVER.NLM.  We are currently
configuring multiple servers, and setting them up to use one PSERVER, loaded
on one of them.  BC-FS (the first server) has the following specs

	Everex Step Server EISA 80486/33MHz
	8MB RAM  (1MB SIMMS)

	Adaptec 1540/1542 SCSI Interface
		2 311MB HD, 1 1.2GB HD
		1.2 & 1.4 MB Floppy Drives

	EV31.LAN Card/Driver System
  	   (sorry can't be more specific here- the system admin doesn't have
	    a full spec sheet!)

A second server (BC-RESEARCH) has

	ZYTEC 80386/33MHz
	4MB RAM  *yuch*

	Standard IDE system (again...no full specs!)
		1 180MB HD
		1.2 & 1.44 MB Floppy Drives

	3com 3c505 Network Interface Card

Both servers are running Netware v3.11.  BC-FS is one of our brand-spanking
new systems, but BC-RESEARCH is one of our old workhorses, and has never
really had any problems.

I created PSERVERs on both systems, named ACS-PSERVER, with only one printer
defined, an HP Series II, as remote parallel 1.  BC-RESEARCH has been sharing
this PSERVER with two other servers for several months.  During that time our
print server was a dedicated machine.  Now the admin of BC-FS wants to put
PSERVER.NLM on his system.

With all of the options configured exactly the same on both servers (accept,
that BC-RESEARCH has its printer 'define elsewhere.'  When I call

	load pserver acs-pserver

from the console, the program loads up, and then reports that it cannot attach
pserver to BC-RESEARCH.  When I call

	pserver.exe acs-pserver

from a workstation, however, it DOES work.  I've check all of the passwords,
and names, and such, but to no avail.

Does anyone have any comments, or suggestions that may help us with the NLM?
Thanks, in advance.



PS.  1)  we are using PSERVER v1.22r; 2)  the servers are on the same segment
(right next to each other, actually), so it's not a router problem.

        Interesting. I fired up Rconsole to have a quick look at my NW 3.11
server and sitting on the command level screen was
        IPX received an incomplete packet from network NET:WDboard
                85 incomplete packets received
So in this case some WD board (I have removed the numbers to protect the
guilty) was really having troubles today, apparently all in one go. Such
bursts of garbage are hard on protocol stacks so PKTMUX ABENDS on NW 2.x
systems might be expected now and then. We have had cases of an installer
discovering that an Ethernet board was not working on the net and leaving
the board connected for a day or so until a replacement arrived. Needless
to say, a few of those cases are boards bad enough to hammer the network
in peculiar ways.

        I jotted down a few numbers for folks interested in error rates. The
server has been up for 66 days on an NE-2000 board, and the thin wire has been
yanked a few times to remake other connections.
        total packets sent      22M
        total packets received  51M
        no ecbs                 1M      no event control blocks when needed
        send retry              3K      probably playing with the wire
        chksum errors           100     garbage looking almost like real pkts
        total collisions        169K    workstations blasting away
        enqueued send counts    1M      delayed sends (maybe no ecb?)
This server is short on memory, with only 8MB to service a 600MB drive having
DOS and NFS name spaces, plus a small volume for Macs, plus scads of NLMs.

I have found 1.1 to be much more reliable and Faster than 1.0.   I
use Netware Lite to run a two node bbs system with a third node as a
workstation and a dedicated Lite server (it would not have to be
dedicated but I have cd rom drives and some other drivers loaded on
it, resulting in little free memory (not Lite's fault)).   My transfer
speed increased drasticly with 1.1 and reconnects from a down server
are now nice and clean (they happen automagicly, No Muss or Fuss).

I don't do printing over the net so I can't vouch for that but if
they cleaned it up as much as they did the rest it should be very
usable.

        The problem is: ODIPKT allows cpu register DI to be clobbered, and
that's a register used often in programs. MSK 3.11 got hit by this effect,
particularly in the Domain Name Server section. MSK 3.12 has a workaround
for ODIPKT, not to mention being able to bypass ODIPKT and go to LSL
directly.

I have installed Pmail 2.3 R4, and until I did that everything worked fine.
Now, I get a purple error message every time it starts, saying that my

it honks at me, while an N clears the message.  Funny thing is Pmail seems
to be working fine, but well I remember the warning of my first computer sci

Any ideas?

Oh by the way, the MAILDIR.EXE program points to the right mail directory, and
this happens even when I'm logged in as supervisor.

I handled a similar situation thusly:
   (I was using netware 3.11, so your mileage may vary)
1. on each pc, in the autoexec.bat define a unique value to an environment
variable (I used PCNO, standing for pc number i.e. SET PCNO=015 )
2. use an if-then structure in the system login script to change the
capture destination.  i.e.

   #capture /q=default          ;set up a default in case of failure
   if "%<PCNO>"="015" or "%<PCNO>"="032" then begin
          #capture /q=lab_A
   end
   if "%<PCNO>"="093" or "%<PCNO>"="054" then begin
          #capture /q=lab_b
   end

you could do the same sort of test using %P_STATION as well.  Be sure
that there is no capture command in the users personal login script,
or this will get overridden.

Enjoy

Thanks Curt,
Of course that works but, unfortunately, we have a number of 4019s -
only some of which have the PostScript option.  We keep all of them
set in PPDS mode so that we can use the same print job for all of them.

I was already considering setting up another set of print jobs for those
printers with the PostScript option but I was hoping to avoid it.  Does
anyone know whether Novell intends to provide print job support from
the MAC in the future?

I have also had security breach messages after loading securefx, and I
am not convinced it is due to hacking.

On one occasion, a user caused one when using windows 3.1 and an old
net3 shell. This would normally give an 'attempted to access illegal
or downed server' message, is this considered as a security breach?

NOVELL, can you not get the securefx program to use a switch that
will clear the connection but only send a message to the supervisor
(or even better allow you to specify a user/group to be notified)?

It is most annoying when every user gets the message, it creates
panic and embarrassment.

P.S. I know that there is a switch to stop notification, but I don't
want to have to continually scan the logs for the message.
