Subject:      Netware C-Interface

Hello,
     I hope that someone will be able to shed some light on this small
question.  In volume II of the Netware C Interface, chapter 15 Print
Services, Page 15-49 the function 'SetSpecificCaptureFlags' lists the last
data member in the structure as type 'BYTE' and name 'PAD02'.
     Is this a constant or what?  In the NW C-Technical overview, it states
that only the first 42 bytes of the capture flags table can be modified by
applications.  I am assuming that this structure member must account for the
rest of the bytes in the capture flags table. Do I need to define it
somewhere?  How do I use it when resetting the capture flags?
You may ask why?
     This all relates to creating one command for all users to:
1) collecting the users capture information
2) writing it to a binary file
3) changing the capture for a specific application, run the application
4) read the binary file and reset the capture flags at close of application
          Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Subject:      Windows on NW3.11 addicted to a: drive

Recently we installed windows 3.1 on a NW3.11 netwerk.
We first used "setup/a" to transfer the files from floppy to a shared
network directory.
The next step was running "setup/n" to make a set of personal files in the
directory where you will start windows. Already during this procedure the
Setup program frequently checked the a: drive, could however be precuded
to continue from the networkdrive by responding with "F" on the question
"Abort, Retry etc.".

After this procedure and some modification in Config.sys and Autoexec.bat
one is ready to start Windows by typing Win <enter>.
In our case Windows than first checks the a: drive and askes the well known
question "Abort, Retry etc.". Responing here with "F" <return> result in
normal functioning of Windows, The "Arbort etc." however is very
irritating.

I would appreciate any suggestion on what i did wrong during installation.

Here is a little program that might fit the bill.  I am sending it to the

Is this what you are looking for?  It's been uuencoded.

begin 644 reboot.com

end

I do not guarantee the results, although it works for me, although at times
it hangs up when I have the Novell software loaded.  I use it at the end of
batch files that switch my config.sys and autoexec.bat files depending on
what I need to have loaded.

    The following is a little bit different than what you're talking
about, which is using a SUN to serve a Novell Network.

    At INTEROP, I saw a beta test demonstration by
                         SUNSelect
                         Two Federal Street
                         Billerica,  MA  01821
                              (508)-671-0596
of a package that would allow a SUN to open a DOS emulation window
(nothing new there) AND establish a Novell NetWare (IPX) session
with a Novell DOS Server, using the SUN's built-in Ethernet port.
This is the first such solution that I've seen.  They were talking
about a first release in Spring 93.

Subject:      Backing up 2.2 Server

        I have a question concerning backing up a 2.2 server.  Right
now we are doing it by using a dedicated workstation with a tape drive
(CONTECH 9 Track Magnetic Tape system with there software) that is
attached to the network only when we want to do backups.  Initially
this setup was Ok, but as the number of files grew it has become quite
time consuming.  I was wondering if anyone out there knows of a good
backup program for a 2.2 server.  It would be nice if we could run
it as a VAP, but running from the dedicated workstation is also fine
if we can do it unattended.  If at all possilbe I'd look to be able to
retain our tape drive, even thought it is slow, because we use it for
other things around here besides backup.
        Any comments or suggestions can either be posted here, or
emailed to me.  Thanks

There is no problem at all. You must have at least 1 NW 3.11 server in each of
 the
subnets which you wnt to connect. Each of these 3.11 servers must use tcp/ip
protocol (with all its requirements like ip-address, netmask, gateway and
 internet
name) of course. Contact your friendly network manager at your site for these
details.
To use iptunnel you have simple to enter the following line for each of these
 one
3.11 servers per subnet:

load iptunnel peer=(the internet address of the other server)

after this you must enter the line

bind ipx to iptunnel net = (a unique novell network number)

these network number must be unique in your whole domain.

This should be the whole thing.

Remember, ip-tunnel is a point to point connection between your different
 subnets
so each iptunnel-server must have the numbers of all of his partners.

Because each Novell server is also an ipx router it is not neccessary to load
iptunnel of each server in the same subnet. Doning this on one of them will be
enough so that all servers (and users of course) in a subnet with a iptunnel
connection can see and access all servers in each other subnet which an iptunnel
connection.


Feel free to ask, if you have more questions

Cheers, Christian

Hi,

Sorry for the FAQ that probably has been battered about for quite some
time but I am new to the Interest Group (4 DAYS).  The question is
where can I find a technical discussion on what does "HACK.EXE"

that there are some archives I can download if I knew which one it is.

I do agree with Richard.  If you can afford the increase in the cost of level 5
wiring it is the road to take for future expansion.  When we started looking
at UTP the was still no level 5 wire that had been the standards yet.  Also,
level 5 wire can cost up to 4 times as much as level 4.  But if you have the
budget, I would install level 5 wire.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

I have a 3.11 installation that I'm trying to hook up with a 2.0a (!) -
no manuals, docs or otherwise on the latter, unfortunately. I'd like to
send print jobs to the 2.0a queues. Alternatively, I'll move the queues
to a 3.11 print server, but I'm wondering if the first route is a
possibility or not - if not, I won't waste my time trying to find some

----------
        Run, do not walk, to your nearest ftp client machine and acquire
MS-DOS Kermit v3.12 from watsun.cc.columbia.edu, cd kermit/a, at absolutely
no cost. For a mere pitance of under $40 you can purchase the official
user's manual, the book "Using MS-DOS Kermit", 2nd edition, by Christine
Giannone, Digital Press and Prentice Hall. This includes not only profuse
(did I spell that correctly?) illustrations and family level humor but
also free, no charge, operators are waiting, a personal copy of Kermit 3.11
on floppy. This magnificant collection will run over your ODI driver without
aid or encumberance.
        However, if you insist upon roughing it you can try shim ODIPKT
over the ODI material. Performance will not be as great as native mode
ODI mentioned above.
        There! And this advice is free too, so you know what to do with it.
        Good luck,

Hello,
We run iptunneling here at Texaco and find it works rather well. Just load it on
 both ends and it should work fine. If yo are going to access the cd-rom across
 the WAN it should work fine as long as it can be accessed thru IPX.

If it is accessed using netbios then it won't work across the WAN because
 netbios obviously won't encapsulate. Contact me if you have anymore questions.

How about just looking to see if a NetWare public utility is where it
should be if you're logged-in.  For example if you set-up SYS:PUBLIC
as the first mapped search drive, you can do (what I do):

  @echo off
  :ChkNet
    if exist z:logout.exe goto NetOk
  :NoNet
    echo ^G
    echo Sorry, you must login to the network server before
    echo you can access this program.  To login, make drive
    echo F: your defuault drive (you should see the F:\LOGIN>
    echo prompt) and type LOGIN.
    echo.
    pause
    goto Return
  :NetOk
    set_up
    run_prog
    clean_up
  :Return

This works fine for me.  --

    Ah hah!

    This sounds like it might well be my problem.  Any thoughts on how to

I am working on a new SETPASS program.  This program will compare the
entered password to a dictionary file before setting the password.  I
should be done by Christmas.  I'll let everyone know when it is done.
Are there any other features I should include?

This program won't check existing passwords, just check them as they
are being set.

pcAnywhere remote costs $20 for the software and $10 for the manual,
minimum 100 copies. You can dial into it with Kermit using VT100
emulation. Prices are educational prices. It also supports a number
of other terminal emulations. One copy of host/remote is about $50.
Lan version host/remote is $150.
