I have another perplexing problem concerning Novell's 3270 LAN Workstation for
DOS version 2.01.  I am having a problem performing file transfers to a host
when I do exactly what the instructions tell me to do.  The manual specifically
states to make sure the SEND.EXE and WSLAN executable are the same version
(2.0)  If I do this the file transfer failes every time with an Insufficient
Buffer Pool message.  Now if I use SEND.EXE version 1.3 the transfer works
every time.  Does anyone have a clue as to why this is?

Once again, thanks for the help.

To Sys Admin and CNS

Hello out there.

We are trying to move our Novell 3.11 server for the Mac
from an ALR 386 model 220 to a gateway 386SX 25 because
the old server is only able to support 6Megs Max or
RAM memory.  We need to add more hard disk space (1300Megs)
from the existing 600Megs and eventually move to a 
a 50 - 100 user network.

The old server has an Ultrastor ESDI 12F controller card
for the 600Megs it currently has, a 3com c3503 Ethernet
card and a SCSI Ultrastor 14F card for the 1300Megs that
I'm adding.  The Drive is formatted and the volume is
set up, I just can't mount it since my RAM is limited.

My question is: 
Is there an eventual problem with this transfer?

The fact that the new server will be a 386SX 25
and with all the cards it has - will there
be a bus conflict?

Can I just copy over the system files and move the
cards or do I have to reinstall Novell to the new
computer?

Thanks in advance.

Dewitt, You will probably have to talk to HP about this.  I've always
found them to be helpful.  I would hope that they don't expect you to
buy the AppleTalk Interface just to get the drivers.

Reply-To: choover@charlie.usd.edu

We are trying to add an ethernet segment to an existing NetWare 3.11 network. 
Currently, the setup is this:

Gateway 2000 486DX2/50E (EISA machine) as the server
IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter for the Token Ring segment

This setup works just fine.  The problem is that when we install an SMC
Ethernet Elite 16 Combo Adapter for the ethernet segment, and bind IPX to
both of them, the following error message comes up on the server console:

     Token-Ring Adapter 0 Shared RAM Parity ERROR:  D8000

This is in spite of the fact that the only part of the SMC board that might
conflict with the D8000 address would be a boot ROM, and this particular
board doesn't have one.  Further, in the SMC setup we have explicitly set
boot ROM size and base address to Disabled.

We have tried this with a fairly exhaustive combination of different port
assignments, IRQs, RAM addresses, etc.  Is there a solution we are
overlooking?  Is there any way to readily change the shared RAM address that
the IBM adapter uses to something other than D8000?  Changing its ROM address
is _easy_; there are switches for that.  But the manual does not seem to
provide us with any way to change the shared RAM address.

If anyone out there has tried and succeeded in getting these two adapters to
coexist, any help provided would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance,


Chris

    We're using QEMM  with  Novell stuff and LAN WorkPlace  without much
    trouble.....we don't quite load as much as you describe.   Most
    notible problem is that   LSL.COM, LANSUP.COM (ODI drivers)
    and TCPIP.EXE  don't like to be loaded high (at least, we have
    more problems...).    All the Netware drivers load high just fine.

    We also don't have a big mixture of Brands/Models.    Just DELL
    and AUSTIN  brands.  The many variations of DELL equipment is
    the only real pain.

    Sorry my answer is not too useful, but I'd like to see your
    summary....maybe it can shed some some light on our tcpip.exe
    load-high problem.

Some newsreaders keep a file in the mail-directory in which
it registrates when you last read news. With this file it
then can determine if you already read news of a specific date.
In that case it can only show you the latest news.

Hi,

HP has a Macintosh driver for the HP IIIsi.  We have v2.11 of the driver and it
has the bin features you are looking for.  Why not give them a call and get this

Reply-To: choover@charlie.usd.edu
Organization: The University of South Dakota Computer Science Dept.

If anyone else has encountered this problem, and found a solution, it would
be a great help.  I am administering a new Token Ring network running NetWare
3.11.  The File server is a PS/2 Model 80 386 (8580-321), and the Token Ring
NIC in the server is an IBM Busmaster Server Adapter/A.  When the server is
first powered up, and SERVER is run, the following error message is displayed
when TOKENDMA.LAN, and consequently NMAGENT.NLM, is loaded:

     Token-Ring DMA BusMaster 4 Microcode is NOT Loaded

But if you disconnect the server from the ring, boot the server with the
Reference Diskette, and then run the Advanced Diagnostics Menu (Ctrl-A) and
select to execute System Checkout and then diagnostics on the Busmaster,
reconnect the server to the ring, and _then_ execute a warm boot (Ctrl-Alt-
Del), TOKENDMA and NMAGENT load correctly, and the server will then function
properly.  So the diagnostics, it would seem, put the microcode to the
adapter.

Neat, huh?

The manual that comes with the Busmaster adapter says that it does _not_ come
with a utility to load the microcode to the adapter.  Since this is a new
machine with on-site maintenance, we had an IBM service rep come look at it,
and after much fiddling with different slots, etc., the official IBM decision
was given that since the IBM product (the Reference Diskette) was able to
load the microcode, and the non-IBM product (NetWare 3.11) was not, the
problem lies with Novell and is not IBM's responsibility, since this is
Somebody Else's Software [tm] (this in spite of the fact that IBM itself
resells NetWare).

So, we can get the server up eventually, but it would be much, much better if
there weren't this extra step involved that required human intervention--so
that if power were for some reason lost (in spite of the UPS), the server
would come back up without the administrative assistant having to call me up
to come down and perform my little voodoo ritual to get the server back up.

Any suggestions?

At the console, load edit, specifying the file sys:\system\volnames.afp. 
The command will look like this:

  load edit sys:\system\volnames.afp

To change the name of a Mac volume, enter the following sequence:

		currentvolname=newvolname

Save the edited file.  This does not change the actual name of the NetWare
volume, but publishes newvolname as the volume's chooser name.  For this to
all take affect, you must unload AFP and then reload it.

I think the Fast Track assumes that you are already VERY Netware 
literate.  I Don't know anyone who has gone through this, but I 
went through the regular classes, and they were hard enough.

This is kinda like asking "How long is a piece of string?".  Each 
coarse varies in its difficulty. It also depends on how good you are 
at memorizing stuff, and taking tests.  I am awful at both of those 
things...  I like hands on... So I got a LOT from the classroom stuff.

Don't want to bore you with all of the classes/tests I took but the 
real tough ones were: Advanced 3.11 admin (took me 3 weeks to study 
for that one), Dial-in Dial-out (3 weeks for that one too) and 
Networking technologies (3 weeks for that one).  I studied about a 
week for everything else.  I devoted 1-2 hours EVERY night.

Just passed my last test last week, I gotta say THIS IS A VERY WORTHWILE
PROGRAM.  I have learned more about networking in the past 6 months 
than I can believe.  I think Novell set it up right, making the 
education and testing centers different, It really legitimizes the 
whole process. 

Good luck.

There is a hidden file in the SYS:\SYSTEM directory which contains the alias
names for the volumes.  Not being at work, I can't look that up right now.
I'll try to post it later, but I think it's called *.AFP, so look there for
a hidden file.  (There aren't many other hidden files in SYSTEM besides the
bindery.)

I think it may be even more than that.  The question isn't so much
average size but median size.  A few really big articles will boost
the average.  Most articles are more like 2K than 3K.

Running netnews on an RS/6000 (4K blocks) makes a gigabyte drive feel
really small.  You get perhaps four or five days' retention time per
gigabyte.  I can't imagine what it'd be like to administer a newsfeed
with 8K blocks.  (At the moment I'm getting better performance and
utilization out of a 386 SysVr3 system with 1K blocks than I did out of
an RS/6000!)

Another consideration you should think of is network bandwidth.  If
all article stores are being done through NFS, and all retrievals are
being done through an NNTP server running somewhere other than the
Novell server, your network utilization could quickly get out of hand.
(If you've got a DOS newsreader that talks directly to Novell
filesystems, I want it!)
