  I've know of at least two people who have had problems with CMS
drives/software.  Not this particular drive, but one person could not
restore all the files.  Real bummer when you have reformatted
your HD. :-)  I'm glad I didn't recommend this drive.  Tape has been at
the factory for some time as they try to get it to restore.
  I definitely would go with a server based backup.  Also, one other
reply on this subject mentioned the QFA option.  A DEFINITE necessity
when restoring.  I've found that Mountain tape drive software has one
the fastest "file finding" directories.  I really like ArcServe which
has QFA but my Mountain can find anything on the tape in less than 45
seconds, much faster than ArcServe.
  A good test is to see how long it takes to restore the last file on
the tape from a large backup.  If the tape jockeys back and forth
full length of the tape and has to read the complete backup, get
something else. It should read the directory, position the head to
proper track and scan ONE length of tape at most to find the file.

  Yes.  Install a Postscript cartridge in the LJ turning it into a PS
printer.  Then set up ATPS.  Altho' it is better to print to a PS
printer that uses Appletalk, the printers can be connected thru the
parallel or serial ports just as you would using PSERVER.  If you have
any PS printers with Appletalk ports (like LaserWriters), stick a DL2000
card in the server and connect then to it via Localtalk cabling.  Works
great.

I have a novell 3.10 file server with two ethernet cards each forming 2 network

rnet segments and also a Novell router(routegen)  which has an ethernet card an

The problem I  have is that although my router is able to see all the networks
AA BB and CC and any other network that is connected futher down the line of CC
my file server is only able to see AA and BB and does not seem to see the route
r and any subnetworks hanging of it i.e CC is not visible to the server
 
Does anbody have any ideas because I am totally baffled ????????????????????
Thanking you all in advance for any ideas .

Novell has said that there is a bug in LANZ for NW that causes this to

     I disagree.  I would say just the opposite!!  My experience has been
that ethernet is good for smaller networks, while token ring is better for
larger networks.  Ethernet slows down a lot more under heavy loads 
because of the many collisions.  Token ring seems to run at about the 
same speed regardless of the traffic.  No, I would definately say that
ethernet is the choice for a smaller network while token ring has other
advantages which suites it for a larger network.  
     As far as relative ease to setup, ethernet is easier to setup and 
manage.  Token ring is far more robust and stable in my experience.  Note
I am not saying that one is "better" than the other.  I have been throught
that war many times before.

Maynsteam backup system is used to backup the Novell file servers in the
network. Recently, it is found that the backup system cannot detect the 
USER volume of a particular file server. This seems to happen after a disk 
formatting of the file server. However, the volume is working fine and 
users are able to access it. I just can't get Maynsteam TMENU and TBACKUP
programs to detect the USER volume. Anyone knows the cause of this?

Sure Intel makes LanSchool.  I have used it an it is a very nice product.
Works very well for classes room use.  I do not have a phone number for Intel,

Doug,
Which 95 are you running?  The 8595, or the 9595?  I have a 95950MT
with 160MB, 400MB, 1GB disks in it.  The 160 is SCSI id 6, the other
two are higher.  It boots dos from the 160, then I load Netware.  Works
like a champ.

In the setup you can change the boot order (on the reference disk), I
would check that. Also (don't be offended) did you check to make sure
the partition you are trying to boot from is "active" - if it's a dos
partition check the fdisk settings.  Sorry if these are things you've
already looked at, just my thoughts.

Subject:      Token Ring vs. Ethernet

Token ring is better for a smaller network.  By small and the reasons behind
my comment is that on a large network an individual system has to wait for the
token to come 'round.  And the maintenance could be more because of the ring
architecture.  When you have two runs to keep track of instead of just one
that adds to the trouble and complexity.  But in defense of TR, I was told
that for a small (What do you call small) TR can beat the pants of ethernet.

But my choice is ethernet.  A personal choice and a grudge against IBM.  I
still can't feel comfortable with anything that has an IBM name on it, for not
knowing if it is a 'real' product or some cripled handout so that it doesnot
compete with something in another IBM division.

Robert,

   I ran across an item called, PKTMUX.  This serves as a multiplexor for
Packet Drivers.  It works fine for me.  I use it with both Ethernet and Token
Ring.
  It can be found on, IB.RL.AC.UK (192.100.78.20), via anonymous ftp.
Directory is, PCSOFT.192.  The binary you should get is PKTMUX12.EXE.
Executing the file will produce the program and documentation.  Good Luck and
have fun.

The Norton Utilities will not work with erased files on Network
drives.  There is no way to read the directory entry for a
deleted file on a Novell volume like you can a DOS directory.
The only way to access deleted files is via SALVAGE if it has not
yet been purged.  It is theoretically possible for someone to
write an NLM to scan the disk, but it wouldn't be easy.  It is
also theoretically possible to implement something similar to
Wipefile, but it would be even harder.  You are talking about
trying to modify the behavior of very low-level operating system
services.  If you are concerned about deleted files, you may also
want to consider all those megabytes of memory buffers too.

Hello folks:

We are having a problem with our print server that has us baffled.  We are

connected for general use printing.  The printer prints out 5 banner
pages per print job.  This system has been working fine until today.
We checked our printcon but found everything in order.  We also find it very
odd that our print job configuration would be screwed up for everybody.
If anybody has seen this problem and knows waht to do, please contact me

Subject:      Print Queue / Offline

I've got a print queue that's acting up on me.  Of course, this
happens right after the holiday so any amount of nastiness could
have crept in while everyone was out.

Situation:  The queue status shows being serviced by DSC1PS, the
print server but the printer status shows _Offline_.  There is
nothing physically wrong with the connection between the PC
acting as the remote and printer, as I'm able to send data
directly to the port without problems.

I've attempted deleting the queue and the printer assignment and
re-establishing them and I've downed the print server in the
process.  It still keeps flashing the error message.

Any takers?

I do not know the 2.15 solution to this but on 3.11 this problem is solved
