Summary: What is the command to let the BT-542 use mem > 16 MB

Hi, 
   our server (486DX-33, ISA, 32MB, Bustek BT-542) had been giving us some 
trouble, so we were testing it and in doing so overwrote the startup.ncf 
file. Anyway when we bring it up and try and register the second 16MB of 
32MB the server dies! I know that there is a command to be given in either 
startup.ncf or autoexec.ncf, but we cannot remember what it is or find the 
driver disk that has the read.me on it that tells us the correct command. 
Also our Buatek Driver is version 2.00, dated June 4 1992. Is this the 
latest driver out?

Since nobody replied to my previous message it would appear that:

a) I am the only person getting these errors, or
b) You folks are too busy to shed some light on this mystery

In any case I'll give you some more information about this problem.  The
NetWare volumes are mounted on the UNIX host using amd, which mounts the
volumes on an as-needed basis.  The problem only appears for the backup
job, which is automated (not interactive).  On both file server there are
several files of the form:

	SYS:\_T-00002.TMP
	SYS:\_T-00008.TMP
	SYS:\_T-00011.TMP
	etc.

These files are all copies of SYS:\ETC\RMTAB, which is a list of
exported volumes and the unix host that has them mounted.

Yes it can. Like I say, the tunnel is not a security feature. It could
be used as a pseudo-security feature where you have two sets of servers
in two peer groups and you point one set of clients at one peer group
and another set of clients at another. This would keep the clients
of peer group A oblivious to the existence of the servers in peer group B
and VV. As long as you are dealing with a bunch of users who have no
clue what is happening to them you have protected a set of servers from
people who have no need to get at them. However, introduce a 12 year
old computer buff into the environment and I'm sure the NET.CFG of
one of the clients of peer group A  will be edited to point at peer
group B in no time at all. The tunnel is not a security feature.
Hmmm. Is there an echo in here? :-)

Translation: "Something is very, very wrong.  You seem to have loaded
an NLM which has not been certified by Novell.  It is doing something
very bad.  Although it's impossible to say exactly what it's doing
wrong, a possible guess is that it is allocating blocks of memory and

allocated for other purposes, such as ECBs."

Isolate the problem NLM and eliminate it from your system until it is

You really need to be more specific about what happened.  I do not think a
network had anything to do with your problem.
 
Your computer does whatever the programs running on it tell it to do.  It does
not do what the ethernet card tells it to do.  If you are running some type of
file server program to share files on your hard drive, then what you describe
is possible.  The program would receive requests from the ethernet via the
ethernet card and then send data back out the thnernet, via the ethernet card.
 
I assume you are not running any file-server type program on the workstation.
If all you are running is IPX (however you get it - Packet Driver, straight IPX,
or ODI, or whatever) and NETx (or any of its many incarnations), then files on
your hard drive cannot be looked at over the network.  IPX simply allows 
transmission and reception of packets.  It doesn't actually do anything with
them.  NETx intercepts DOS requests and checks to see if they are for a network
drive, and if so, sends them to the server instead.  No one can write a program
to ask NETx to send them the contents of your hard drive.  NETx simply doesn't
have that functionality.
 
It seems as if someone got something off your hard drive, and you don't know how
they got it, but since you are connected to a network, you blame the network.
That's not the case.            
 
If you are copying files from your hard drive to the file server, then that
is a different story.  The person could be reading them off the server (or
watching the frames as they go by).  If this is the case, the most likely
problem is either he has your password, or the system administrator
accidentally gave him access to a directory on the server that he shouldn't
have access to.
 
I'll reiterate: IPX and NETX do NOT enable anyone, no matter how much they 
know and how good a programmer they are, to read files from your hard
drive.  All other workstations can do is read file son the server, and watch
communication between your workstation and the server.  
 
Another possibility in your case is that the unknown individual simply
walked up to your PC and copied the files while you weren't there.

Summary: Network Printer not printing properly.
Keywords: Fujitsu M304X series line printer.
Organization: Software Productivity Consortium, Herndon, Virginia
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 1992 16:16:21 GMT


Hi,

More questions ...

I am having a problem with a printer on our novell network (of
which I am not an expert yet).

It is a Fujitsu M304X Series Line printer.  We have this hooked
up to the parallel port on the server and a network queue which
all of the clients can see.

The problem we are having is that when files are sent to the
network queue they will print out until the last line, then
about half of the last line prints out and it stops.  We have
to send a screen print which makes the printer spit out the last
half line and perform a formfeed.  If I send a bunch of files
to the printer, they all print normally until the last file
which encounters the problem of only half of the last line
printing.

I think it is a problem with the reset function I have defined
in the Novell PRINTDEF.  I have tried using a reset function
<FF><ESC>@ but this makes the printer err out with error 200
which means that the char following <ESC> is not allowed.  I
don't know which characters I should use and what they mean.

There is not a pdf file for the fujitsu so I have been trying
to configure one.  The printer manual that came with the fujitsu
does not offer any good clues on what the reset sequence should be.

Can anybody offer me any suggestions? 

Thanks,

I don't have time to investigate any other TCP/IP vendor's products.
Are they better in this regard?  Or are you just saying that Novell
should do better than them because of the minimal TCP/IP knowledge in
the NetWare audience?

I'd love to hear suggestions for improvements.  Isn't there a reader's
comments form in the back somewhere?  I thought we'd done pretty well
considering we were trying to squeeze volumes of information into a
brief appendix.  I'm disappointed that you consider it "lousy".

I was a little peeved at the previous poster that panned the manual as
well, until he went on to suggest Comer instead.  If our dinky manual
with its little TCP/IP tutorial in an appendix can be considered to be
in the same class with an excellent reference work as comprehensive as
Comer, then i remain honored even if our manual is considered a bad
example of the class. :-)

No, it's even easier than that.  All you have to do is run rconsole, put

to the boot partition (floppy or hard disk) the server.exe file.  Now,
when you reboot the server, you've just done the upgrade.

The only difference between a 20 user netware 3.11 and a 100 user and a 250
