Hello,

I am having problems printing to an HP DeskWriter on a Novell 3.11 network
running NW4Mac 3.011.  Here is the set up:

NetWare 3.11
NW4Mac 3.011
load afp
load atps
atpsfix1
atpsfix2

in my atps.cfg file:

-p DeskWriter -o "NUNS DeskWriter" -t DeskWriter -z "Acns Staffnet"

Physically,

Ethernet network;
DeskWriter is connected via phonenet to a Dayna EtherPrint Plus
which is connected to the rest of the network via thinnet;
I have also a LaserWriter connected the same way.

This is what happens:

If I print directly to either the DeskWriter or the LaserWriter from my mac
it prints without a problem.  

If I print to the LaserWriter through the NetWare print queue there is no
problem.  

If I print an ascii file from a PC through the NetWare queue to the
DeskWriter, it also prints without a problem.

If I print to the DeskWriter from a macintosh through the Netware print
queue ATPS says "Begin job ####" and stops.  My macintosh is from that
point on hung and must be rebooted; it does not come back even after
waiting overnight.

I am without a clue.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Peter...

Have a look at John Baird's QUOTA utilities. These are command-line driven
utilities for retrieving and manipulating directory- and user-volume 
quotas and disk-usage. I use them, they are great. You can get ouputs
for members of groups or owners of subdirectories and many more.

You may find them in quota.zip on several sites, including ono.lincoln.ac.nz
and ftp.uni-kl.de, pub/pc/novell. 

Hope this helps,

Hi,

If you LOAD ATCON.NLM at the NetWare for Macintosh file server and use the 
LOOKUP SERVICE, you will find that the NW4MAC stack router is called 
"NetWare Router."  Both INTERPOLL (Apple) and MACPING (Dartmouth College)
also return the name "NetWare Router."  I am not sure why the utility you 
were using returned the "UNKNOWN" names for the NW4MAC routers.  Is it possible
that the display field is not large enough to contain the long "NetWare Router"
name?  What ever the cause of this, you can use other utilities like ATCON.NLM
to get information about your network.  There is no need (nor support) for 
attaching a name parameter to the LOAD APPLETLK command line.

I hope this information helps...

We do it on quite a few machines here and have never had any problems,
rprinter works at a lower level than capture, and the two don't intefere
with each other.  The machine prints, capture grabs it and sends it to the
server, rprinter sees it on the server, brings it back and talks to the
hardware to print it, no problem.

All of our printers are postscript laser printers, which can
be annoying if you're trying to print from an application that
only prints text. I've written my own NPRINT that runs any
text input through a postscript filter, but I'm not sure what
to do about printing from the applications that don't do postscript.

Has anyone out there come up with a viable solution that they wouldn't
mind sharing with me? 

On thought I had was when I installed Netware NFS and noticed
that it comes with FILTER.NLM that fliters anything I send to 
the printer on our Suns... is there any way I can use this NLM to filter
jobs sent to the local printers as well? 


Any thoughts greatly appreciated

Look into the ODI shell.  This will allow you to bind both IPX, and IP to the
same card, under a compatible frame type (ie. ETHERNET_II).  If you need any
more info, such as example net.cfg files, I would be happy to supply.

I have a rather interesting problem. We had a hard disk snafu and wound

Hello fellow netters,

I am currently programming an application that uses IPX to communicate with
other copies of itself (it's a network chatbox).
When I test it at a 'known' network so I know the available network numbers
I send the packets across bridges by entering the correct network numbers in
the IPX headers.

But since I would like this little chatbox to work on ANY Novell network I
would like to know if anybody has examples of (preferably C) code to get
a list of all network numbers with workstations attached.

Scanning all network numbers is out of the question since there are 256^6
iterations and trying an unknown network number results in a 1..2 seconds wait.

I've been looking into the possibilities of the Diagnostic calls but I don't
have enough sample sources to build something myself.

I also don't have access to a Novell setup regularly so that doesn't help much
either .. (just a CS student with a whole lot of interest in Novell but no
Novell network running in my room . . . yet)

Would anybody please help me on this subject ?

It would make me very happy if the 'Network Chat Box' could be used in the
bigger Novell LAN's used.

                                        Grtx. KH

BTW, anybody interested in the single-segment version can download it at my
BBS. I can't upload it to an ftp site myself, if anybody would be so kind...

I too have had problems with SuperCalc 5 over Novell Networks. The most
common is that after working on a number of files, (one after another) when
trying to save your file you get a FILE OPENED IN BROWSE MODE and you cannot
save. When passed to Computer Associates (UK) they suggested a problem in
Netware 2.x and we should upgrade to 3.x! For other reasons we did upgrade
and the problem still occurs... :-(
There are other problems too, (but I can't remember them all) Has SC5.5
solved them I wonder?

The Gateway parameter identifies a gateway *on that network*, so it is
incorrect to use GATE on A or B to indicate the UNIX gateway on C.
That GATE parameter should only be on the BIND to C.

Or you could teach the UNIX machine to squawk RIP, in which case this
would all be taken care of automatically. :-)

Oh, by the way, depending on what kinds of nodes are on networks A and
B, you may need to teach them about the new NetWare router.  If they
don't send the NetWare router any packets to begin with, it doesn't
make any difference where the NetWare router would send them if it had
them.  You've probably already accounted for that, but sometimes that
little detail gets overlooked.

No need.  The IP code uses the default gateway as a last resort, only
if it has no information about routes to that specific destination.

Problem 1... I need to figure out a way to get email from my companies

ignorant in terms of the best software approach.

Problem 2... Currently the net consists of assorted 286/386 PC's 
and assorted MAC'S, some running System 6.07, others running 7. 
We run DaVinci Email with MHS.  Since Davinci currently only supports
Sys 6 on the MACs, about half of my MAC users have no email services.

I'd like to kill these two problems with the same email package if I
can. I've seen references to Pegasus/Pmail/Charon in this group.
Would one of these help ?

To summarize:

 1. What's your reccomended Email software to support the mixed PC/MAC

 2. What's the reccomended software solution/configuration to provide

 3. Am I nuts? (No answer required.)

I'll collect and summarize email responses and or replies posted here.

Since we upgraded to NW4MAC 3.011 we have discovered that two printers that
we were able to hide before (via ATPS) will no longer cooperate.

One printer is a QMS PS-815 and the other is a Tektronix Phaser II. Under
NW4MAC 3.01 we were able to hide these printers and service them with a
queue with no problems. Now, under 3.011, the server announces that all the
printers are hidden but these two are not.
A LaserWriter Plus, a IInt, and two IIg's still hide without any
problems.

Anyone else notice a problem like this?
Does the HIDE.PS utility that came with 3.011 have any potential to help
with this problem?

Much thanks,

Hi,

Yes, there are ways to get this to work.  In fact there are two ways to solve 
this problem.  If you have 3.01 NW4MAC and do not intend to upgrade, you can
patch ATPS.  On NetWire, the patch is contained in ATPS2.ZIP and is located on 
NOVLIB8.  The other solution is simply to upgrade to 3.011 NW4MAC.  The problems
with the 7.01 and 7.1.1 LaserWriter drivers were specifically addressed in this
upgrade release.

Hope this information helps...

You could obtain a TCP/IP stack and applications for each PC (free or commer-

for DOS, BW-NFS, Wollongong, etc.) or a NetWare-TCP/IP gateway from us
(Catipult) or NCM (TCP Server).  Both of these gateways run on an OS/2 PC
and let NetWare workstations run TCP/IP applications without any client
installation or configuration, and without TCP and IP being loaded on the
clients.  With a gateway, all clients share one IP address.  Gateways are
good for sites with many occasional users, for sites running primarily
Telnet and a mixture of FTP and other utilities.   Dual stacks are preferable
for heavy FTP or NFS usage.

I am just now trying to install ELS Netware 286 Level 1
version 2.0a onto a new 386DX clone and have hit a problem.

When compsurf is run as part of the install batch file the
message "ROM BIOS Disk handler not found" appears and then
execution stops.

Does this error message mean that Netware of this age won't
run on newer PC's or is there someway around this.

e Bios is an AMI 386 plus (1991) and the hard drive is a
KAOK Model K13120 (120M 3.5 inch).

any help appreciated
