        I'd check the MONITOR screen to see how many buffers remained in
each category, and I'd do a PURGE deleted.sav (and any other interesting
areas) to ensure your disk is not being reused frequently. Low memory and/or
low free disk space both cause problems. Watch the number of directory buffers
too.

Some devices (in my case, 3Com's Multiport Repeater) allow you to have
INTERNAL termination and/or INTERNAL grounding as well - it is a matter of
setting one jumper.

This is possible but you will have to 'hack' some of the novell
utilities like pconsole/pserver/nprint with a file-editor.
There is a pretty good description of this in John McCann's
'Supervisor Guide', from MT books.

We're trying to get ODI to work on our network here at Carroll
College.  So now I have a few questions to ask of you.

        1) We use ASANTE and Cabletron Ethernet cards on our
        Novell machines.  Is there a special Packet driver we
        should be using.

        2) Are there different ODIIPX files for different packet
        drivers?

        3) Once these questions are answered, how would I implement
        this knowledge?

I guess what we're trying to do is to be able to run off two different
protocols at the same time.  (I don't know if protocols is the right
word)  Right now we can't run IPX and NCSA Telnet at the same time.
I'm guessing that this is the solution.  Please help!!

We have a NW 3.11 server that needs to talk locally to an AS/400. Since
we do not want to pay IBM $99,999 for an ethernet adapter, we are looking
for alternatives. Can anybody suggest a 5250 gateway that will support
20-30 users on the AS/400?

Also, I hear that NW 4.0 will include 5250 communcations. Is this true?
If so, is it part of the base system or is it an add on?

  I've had similar problems with BNETX.  After running some programs,
performance steadily drops.  Boot workstation and login.  Run
WordPerfect, quit WP 5.1.  Run PERFORM2 and watch performance drop from
400KB to 250 to 100 to 40KB/sec as the program runs.
  I asked the Novell SE at a dealer seminar and he just brushed it off
and said call Novell directly and report an incident.  I know some NICs
have problems.  SMC (old WD) need absolutely latest drivers (SuperDisk
4.3 or later?).  I went back to genuine NE2000 cards to test with the
same result.
  My configuration here also uses MAC 3.01 with 3.011 patches added.  I
haven't unloaded MAC to see if it will clear up the problem.  I just
scrapped BNETX and am using NETX.  Also tried both MS-DOS 5.0 and DR DOS
6.0 with similar results.  What configurations do other people have that
are having problems?

Hi John.  What version of os/2 requester are you using??.  I assume that you
use Novell Requester version 2.0 for os/2 2.0.  I don't think you need to
modify the config.sys at all (I could be wrong) but if you have to modify
it, it's simple.  This is how i do mine.

a)  After you have logged into the network, use the netware tools to map
your network drive (e.g: sys:apps/lotus) to P: or Q: or .....  Save the
settings.

b)  edit your config.sys.  add the drive(s) that you just mapped to (e.g. P:
Q: ...) to the path statement.

c)  reboot
d)  login to your network via netware tools by loading the setting file that
you saved.

e)  If you go in a OS/2 full screen I think it should be in the path.
f)  for DOS session, check you DOS settings' netware resources.

Subject:      Token Ring Beaconing - Help!

I have a PS/2 80 fileserver with a Token Ring card for an old 30 station lab
of IBM PCs (yes, the originals) that we still use (as well as an ethernet
segment). The fileserver is OK, but the Token Ring section has totally
failed.

Initially it gave the following error messages:

    Severity = 4
    0.0.0 Token-Ring Adapter 0 is Beaconing; Ring Status: 5020

    Severity = 4
    0.0.0 Token-Ring Adapter 0 is Beaconing; Ring Status: 4020

    Severity = 0
    0.0.0 Token-Ring Adapter 0 Alert Condition CORRECTED

followed by either 4020 or 5020 and 4020, each time CORRECTED.

This all happened without my knowledge (I picked it up from SYS$LOG.ERR)
until this morning it locked up (just the Token Ring) with:

    Severity = 2
    1.1.54 LAN receive buffer limit reached. All buffers are in use.
    Possible causes: disk channel bottleneck or buffers have been lost.

there were 3/4 of these (1 per minute) until the technician rebooted the
server, and ever since I get:

    Severity = 4
    0.0.0 Token-Ring Adapter 0 is Beaconing During the Insertion Process

whenever I try to load TOKEN.LAN (about 1 message every 6/7 seconds).

The final thing that I have found is that the fileserver only sees 5Mb of RAM
instead of the 6Mb I believe it to contain (which I realise is hardly ample
for the 300 Mb and 130 Mb volumes it contains plus the Print Server Process).

It does not complain about this on bootup, however.

I have swapped in another Token Ring Card, and tried the v3.13 and 3.15
TOKEN.LAN, all to no avail.

Any ideas would be welcomed.

Cheers,

Angus

Does anyone know of a FTP site where I can get some additional
information (and or Examples) on System Login Scripts.  NW3.11 books
are not helpful.  Any Suggestions.

Thanks.

Use the VMS DEFINE command command to define the logical SYS$PRINT,

for example:

        $ DEFINE SYS$PRINT myqueue$1

This has the affect of creating a default for PRINT should
/QUEUE= not be specified.

Subject:      Re: Token Ring Beaconing - Help!

We have experienced similar token ring beaconing messages under
2 cases:

One was when one of the relays on our MAU had gone bad (it happened
to be a ring out relay) and therefore caused our whole ring to
bactrack and the distance was too much.  We have 8 MAUs spread
over 3 floors.

The second case was similar to the first.  The way our MAUs were
cabled together turned out to be a double ring backtracking over
itself and as we added more stations, the traffic brought this
to light.

We have since divided into smaller subnets and have no more problems
with beaconing.  It may be that one of your MAUs' relay has gone
as in our case.

One solution is to issue a second account with a password, for use from
'other' workstations, as a suppliment to the above suggestion.

You would also need to setup the new accounts home directory to be the same
as the original one.
