Summary: How to make NETBIOS work with NETX loaded?
Keywords: NETBIOS, IPX/SPX, Novell Netware
Date: 9 Sep 92 19:54:13 GMT
Organization: University of Turku, Finland

After I have done this:
  IPX
  NETX
  LOGIN ...
  NETBIOS
all applications witch use netbios say "failure at addname()" or
"netbios server not found" but IPX/SPX works fine! I found this
problem when I was installing Lotus Notes (witch requires NETBIOS) and
all workstations were unable to find Notes server. After this I tried
to use some PD/Shareware talk-applications (to see if the trouble was
with workstations or Notes OS/2 server) they all failed to work with
NETBIOS. 

Our setup is: 
  Novell Netware 3.11 fileserver, IPX & NETX are the same witch came
with Win 3.1, WD8003E network adapters at workstations. Notes server
has OS/2 1.3.

Any ideas?

We are running Netware 3.11 (250)  and Netware for MAC 3.011 (20) over
ethernet.  The server is an EISA 486 with RACIAL interface card.  MACS
use Asante cards and system 6.07.

The PROBLEM:  When a MAC shuts down abnormally, every so often, the 
connection will not release.  Yesterday, every connection in the lab
(16 of 20) did not release.  If we try to break the connection from the
console, the console (not hte server) locks up.  If we try to break the 
connection from rconsole, the console and the PC locks up.  Any MAC or
PC that locks up in this way cannot reattach.  The only solution we have 
is to reboot the file server.  A

Any sugestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.  As I do not

And there's no reason to use WINPKT.  WINPKT is for running *DOS* packet

It works fine here.  We can't tell what's wrong with your setup without more
details, like:  How do you load the drivers?  Any error messages?  What does
your NET.CFG file look like?  QVT_TCP.RC?  Etc...

The more current version is called NCL.ZIP.  It can be found on compu$erve
and I think there are one or two ftp sites, tho I don't know where they are.
AESPEP was the beta release, NCL the final.

Is there any reason that a workstation with ver 3.02 or later IPX
shouldn't be able to execute a command off of a NW2.15A 
server?  We have just this situation at a client site.   If we execute
the login command off of a local drive, we can log in and copy files
to and from the file server, but we can't execute any commands 
that are on the file server.  The problem goes away if we downgrade
to an old (2.12) version of IPX, and we're quite baffled.  I thought
that the updates to IPX and NETX were supposed to work with just about
everything 2.12 and later.  Am I wrong, or have we done something
wrong?

Subject: Access server problems....Help!
Date: 11 Sep 92 09:18:29 -0600
Organization: Minnesota State University System

Hello netters,

  I am experiencing difficulties with a Novell Access Server 1.21.
there 8 dial-in ports at 1200-9600 baud.  When users access an ibm host
using novell 3270 workstation for DOS ver 2.02 the access server appears 
to lock at least one session, sometimes the entire server.  The access 
server is configured with ODI drivers to support novell lan workplace for
DOS.  This problem also was occuring with standard IPX drivers, before the 
installation of ODI.  

Questions:

  Will the access server support 3270 in multiple sessions by different
  users

  Is there a way to insure that 3270 emulation is unloaded from each
  session before users log off the access server?

  Is the an easy way to reset one of the above mentioned sessions after it
  has locked up?  Using NASCON?

  Any one else notice strange happening with novell's access server?

please e-mail me directly since I do not regularly read this news group

Dear Colleagues,


We are having problems with the following very simple network setup.
We have two Novell Servers each of them having one local printer.
We would like to print on both printers from all the stations.
I am sure it is a FAQ or similiar but I do not find the relevant pages in 
the manual  or in the FAQ list to set it up correctly.

We could access one of the printers from anywhere but not both of them. When 
the PSERVER module is loaded it complains about an unknown printer type.
It is the printer which was defined as: defined elsewhere in the PCONSOLE 
menu.

With kind regards,

Istvan Tetenyi

If you are using the Laserwriter driver that comes with the NFS code,
(unless this problem has been fixed VERY recently), beware that the 
default is to put a hex '04' on the start of the file.  The result is
lost print jobs if you queue multiple jobs for the same printer.  The
fix is to go down several levels in the options menu (sorry, I have this
part second hand, so I don't know what the menu structure looks like)
and disable some option .. reset? ... anyway, if you have problems
finding it, I'm sure that the Novell folks can help (we spent about 5 weeks
figuring out what the problem was and trying to understand why no one 
else was seeing it).

Hi,

In the 2.x world, every Macintosh file that is copied to the server takes up
two seperate files, one for the data fork and a second for the resource fork.
The files which contain the resource fork information never actually shows up
to any DOS client (and it doesn't appear seperately for the Macintosh either).
But, this may be what is going on here.  You will notice you are using more
Directory Table entries than you think you should be because of this as well.
There may be something else going on here because the numbers don't quite match
up here, but I bet this is at least contributing to confusion.

Hope this helps...

Think Peace, and PLEASE V-O-T-E-VOTE!!!

I don't have a definitive answer for you, but basically, all are
derivatives of NETX which is a generalized version of NETx (where x=3,
4, 5).  The EMS version uses EMS to minimize it's footprint in memory.
The XMS version uses XMS.  NETX uses conventional memory.

Howdee,
Recently, I put Charon and Pegasus up on our Novell Netware network. We run  
3.11 on an ALR VEISA 486 computer with a single gigabyte hard disc. The  
hard disc is gonna fill up, nopw pretty fast, with all that mail. I want a  
sane, simple inexpensive solution to this problem. I want to off-load the  
mail from the Netware server, making the mail storage a problem independent  
of file space maintenance for print and file service. Surely, there is a  
solution. I have available an older 286 machine that has a Bernoulli box  
attached to it. The Bernoulli cartridges are 20 Mbytes in size, and I am  
considering this as a mail repository, since removable discs represent  
essentially infinite storage. In that vein, I also have a Panasonic L-7010  
multi function optical disc drive attached to the SCSI port on the Netware  
server. The cartridges for this are 500 Mbytes per side. The driver in the  
Netware server for this jewel is SCSI Express, which is also a jewel. I am  
considering using this to save the mail onto. The multifunction capacity of  
this Panasonic device allows for phase-change read/write on the optical  
discs, so I won't have to wait for half a gigabyte of mail to accumulate  
before moving it all over. I sure would appreciate some hints and tips,  
lads and lassies. Have a happy day...

The reason that I recommend that you move to the ODI drivers and interface 
is that in the future new features and enhancements that are planned for the 
client in a NetWare network will be ONLY supported in the ODI interface.  
Right now you can see that with LAN Workplace for DOS and the NFS client 
software.  We have ODINSUP to provide an NDIS application interface to the 
network.  The Lanalyzer for NetWare product requires the ODI interface.  
Don't be surprised if there are components of NetWare 4.0 that will require 
the ODI interface as well.

The ODI interface is Novell's future.  Make it part of yours as well.
