Subject: Netware 2.0a and Ethernet query

Date: Fri, 28 Aug 1992 04:48:58 GMT


I am trying to upgrade a server on a small 3 user Netware 2.0a 
ethernet lan and cannot get the new server to "talk" on the network.

The new server has an NE1000 clone card and Netware 2.0a loads 
and accepts the installed card. However when the new server is 
connected to the lan it cannot see any workstations nor can the 
workstations see the new server.

I am using existing thin ethernet cable that I know works and the
new card is jumpered for cheapernet cable use. The new card supports 
802.3 and the earlier(?) ethernet standard but I have tried both 
settings with no success.

Also, the card has transmit and receive LED's which flash when the 
server initializes the card (I presume).

I want to try one of the existing cards in the new server but have
no documentation for the cards. It is a Novell 1988 ethernet card 
labelled "BD # 738-160-001 Rev. C".

There are three sets of jumpers:

                 First Set                  Second Set
                 ---------                  ----------

              W9    W10   W11           W15   W14   W13   W12

              *      *     *             *     *     *     *
 jumpered ->  |      |                               |
              *      *     *             *     *     *     *


                       Third Set
                       ---------

                    W W W W W W W W
                    8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

                1   * * * * * * * * 

                2   * * * * * * * *
 jumpered ->        | | | | | | | |
                3   * * * * * * * *


Does anyone know what the problem may be with the new server not
"talking" or have any idea what the above jumpers are set up for.

any replies appreciated

The short version of this is:  No, you can't run a 3.11 server non-dedicated,
and Windows is out of the question even with versions that will allow non-ded
servers.

Summary: How to do it?
Date: 1 Sep 92 21:04:40 GMT

Organization: University Computing Services - OSU


Greetings,

I am currently working on a windows application that will run under
Novell.  I have a few calls in it to make use of IPX, and I am having a
bit of a problem.  I have written my own toolkit for pascal that
seems to work well under DOS, but only some of the functions work for
windows.  An example of this is the GetLocalTarget function that 
is supposed to return the network address of an intermediate network ect.

To do this I set up a register with 
     BX = 02h 
     ES:SI = pointer -->DestinationAddr
     ES:DI = pointer -->ImmediateAddr
	 
     Do interrupt 7A

     TransportTime = CX 
     result_code = AL 

under dos, this works fine.  Windows takes about a minute to return 
a result of 250, or network unreachable.  

I am guessing that there is something about windows that messes this up,
but I don't know what.  The Open and Close sockett functions seem to be 
ok, but this, and Send Packet seem to be crashing.

Could some kind soul tell me what I need to do to make this work, and/or
point me to information that will assist me.  I would rather FTP some
documentation, however I will buy a book if necessary.   All of the
above stuff for DOS I worked out of Charles G. Rose's book but I am 
beginning to see that this book is quickly becomming outdated.  

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Not only Arcnet but Token Ring given that only the IBMTOKEN Packet driver

Hi,
	I am running Netware Lite version 1.0 and am having problems 
printing to our HP Laserjet III (with Postscript Module).  I increased the 
wait time (when capturing the port and in the printer configuration) but the 
problem still occurs.  The pop-up message states the following:

                                 Netware Lite Printer status
                           (and then toggles between saying the print
                           is ready or outof paper.)

The print job finishes okay but it is very anoying.

I have not installed the patches for version 1.0 and thought that might be 
the cause.  So I downloaded Version 1.1 (which I assumed fixed all known 
bugs) and I still get the same thing.

Any help would be appreciated!

Subject: Setting the primary server?
Organization: University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 1992 22:36:31 GMT


Hi,

I am joining two Novel 2.12 networks together so that one can only
access the other.  The connection is fine, and I can "attach server2" no
problem.  BUt, when I try to login when the machine is turned on, there
is no primary server so, what happens is it trys to log into what ever
server is available first.  And, usually, the server2 is available first
and the users on server1 don't have accounts on server2 so they can't
logon.  So, my question is: how does one specify a primary (default)
server for a network?  (when a login is done it goes to the primary
server, not the first available one. I kw that this can be done by 
login server1/, but I don't want to edit the autoexec.bat files for each
machine on the network....)

Thanks in advance.
Tristen.

Subject: Explanation of SLIST oddities with 3.x servers?

Organization: Rohm and Haas Company

A few weeks ago, somebody posted a useful explanation of why SLIST
lists 1 as the station address for a 3.x server, but lists the
physical address of the primary NIC for a 2.x server. What I had
considered a bug was actually a feature! :-)

We are having some occassional network errors here at the moment, and
one of the anomalies my boss would like explained, so that it can be
eliminated as a possible source of these errors, is why our 3.x server
is reporting the "wrong" address. (To be fair to my boss, I pointed it
out before I read the explanation here).

Does anyone still have that posting? I'd appreciate it if you could
mail it to me.

Thanks,

Hi!
	I really hope that someone out there can help me, and quick!  I have
run into a problem that I can't seem to solve, being fairly new to Novell
NetWare.  No matter what I try, I cannot get the packet driver for the
ethernet card to load correctly on one machine in our lab.  I have tried
everything that I know, and have run out of options.

Machine configuration:

486 clone
Western Digital ethernet card
other stuff....
(We are running TWO monitors on this system.)

I am not sure whether the two monitors are causing the problem or not, but
I cannot even get the packet driver to load where it is supposed to, which
in turn causes IPX to not be able to find it.

We are using BYU's packet driver software, version a.5c (that is what it
says when I try to load the driver).  
The version of IPX that we are using is 3.01, Rev. A.  When IPX is loaded
correctly, it also tells me that my packet driver is versopm 2.01.  (I got
this from another machine that works properly...)

Can anyone help me??  Has anyone had this same problem?  ANY help at all
would be sincerely appreciated!!

With Netware v.3.11 you can load the TCPIP NLM which also supports SNMP. We use
it here and are able to view our fileservers from our ROVER.

Does Netware 3.1x have an SNMP agent NLM that I could use for sending SNMP

If not, does someone know of a third party product that does?  Now that
Novell is a member of OSF, will their management software (which I am only

Rick,
you should jumper your card to "soft" and use "ezsetup" to burn in the
parameters. I am using Rev.9 Packet drivers and they need to be told to
use IEEE 802.3 instead of ETHERNET_II with -n option:

         WD8003E -n -d 0x65 10 0x240 0xD000   

I use IRQ 10 to avoid conflicts with LPT2 / COM2.

Has anyone besides myself had trouble using v10 of the Crynwr packet drivers

loaded as:
DEPCA 0x65 5 ? d000
and then loading the novell stuff:

PDETHER -v    (version 1.02)
IPXODI        (version 1.20)
NETX          (version 3.26)
with the NET.CFG looking like:
(some buffer stuff)
Link Driver PDEther
      INT 65
      FRAME Ethernet_II
      PROTOCOL IPX 8137 Ethernet_II

Everything seems to load fine until I get to NETX.  It pauses for a few 
seconds, and the comes back and says it can't find a file server.  I see
TX/RX activity on my transceiver during the NETX pause but nothing else.

Anyone have any ideas or experience the same thing?

It really sounds to me as if every time you are running vrepair your 
removing the name spaces. If you remove name space with Vrepair you
will get errors every time the repair enounters a file or directory it
must remove the name space from.

Are you sure during you vrepair you have not picked the option remove name

Sorry, I tried to send email on this one and it bounced, and I don't want
to wade thru 50 articles to find the original...

In article <hippo.34.0@sonoma.edu> you write:

I don't use a sniffer, but the lanalyzer will not allow you to run the
software on top of a packet driver.  The Lanz software *must* be the only
thing talking to the board.  Loading ipx after lanz or vice versa will
freeze the machine.  To load ipx after lanz, you have to reboot, then
reboot again to use the other.

I suspect that the sniffer works the same way...

The company I work for has the need/desire to automate the updating of file(s)
across a number of file servers (3.11).  Currently, this is done manually, one
server at a time.

An ideal solution would be to automatically update servers from a master
server.  Can anyone suggest a product to do this (PD/SW/COM)?  Other
alternatives/suggestions welcome!

Hi,
 
Where abouts can I get some information on hardware programming of network
interface cards. I am most specifically interested in SMC Arcnet cards (yes
people still use them). The idea is to write some sort of 'lanalyzer' type
program. 
 
Any help, pointers etc would be most appreciated...
 
See ya
