Your IP addresses for enet_II and tr_snap are in conflict.  Your IP mask
(the ff.ff.ff part) is telling your server to route packets between your
three IP sub-nets based on the first three bytes of each address, but 
enet_II and tr_snap both have the same leading addresses (128.111.123).

You can fix this problem one of two ways: assign a different CLASS III 
address to the two cards, i.e. 128.111.123.3 and 128.111.124.3 (if you 
are hooked to the Internet, you will have to request these addresses),
or use the first bit or two of your IP address to designate which sub-net
packets are to be routed to, i.e. 128.111.123.3 and 128.111.123.130 and 
an IP mask of ff.ff.ff.80.

I would like to know what software/hardware solutions are available
for connecting a System 36 to a Novell 3.11 server.  Two way transfer
of information is not necessary but would be nice.  Primarly I need
to transfer the information from the SYS 36 to some kind of file that
can be manipulated by a DOS based program.

Thanx in advance,

Curt,
	The cause is very simple, fortunately. The NW server is Routing IP
traffic, not relaying it blindly in every direction. To route, each interface/
wire must be on a separate IP "network", yet your diagram shows both bottom
legs to be on the same network (128.111.123.0). Thus subnetting is required
and the subnet mask must be the same on all ports (and really on all stations
participating in RIP style IP routing on the backbone).
	Because this particular subject has been discussed very often on the
net, and explanations tend to be lengthy, I recommend you acquire a good book
on it: "Internetworking with TCP/IP", vol 1, by Douglas Comer. This is a
first rate book, with pictures and theory combined. In addition, you can sit
down with your local Internet Responsible Person on site and go over the
whole thing with him/her to gain further quick information. That person should
be easy to find because you are also in the Computer Center.

I know that this has all be hashed out before, but we're about to renumber
and rename our network and I don't want to do it again :-).

Is the "Utah State University Novell Addressing Scheme" the preferred naming
and numbering scheme for a mixed IP/IPX network?  What scheme does Novell
use on their own machines (Don?)  What scheme does Novell recommend? :-)

The USU scheme looks like this:

IP name:                  abc.usu.edu
IPX name:                 EDU-USU-ABC
Internal Network Number:  817B0136
IP Address:               129.123.1.54

This scheme makes alot of sense to me; I just want to be sure there not
a more popular "standard" way of doing it.

I have posted a copy at sonata.cc.purdue.edu (128.210.15.30).  The
filename is /pub/next/submissions/novell.net.eps.  I *think* that there
is an error in the wording of the IPX rules and that the diagram is
correct.

Thanks for your comments,

Chris

You need to talk to Cheyenne, they have been very helpful with large files 
and large volumes.... (greater then 3.5 GB) 

We are using a 3.11 Server based GigaTrend TurboDat / ARCserve and have had 
problems with all of the following :

		Volumes >600 MB      - Hangs/abends server

		More then 5000 files - Hangs Quick File Access (QFA) with 
                                       error message

 Loading Bustek SCSI Drvr above 16MB - Unable to mount large volumes, before
                                       or after tape driver loaded.

      Backing up Netware 286 Servers - Abends host machine at time of 
                                       disconnect

ALL OF THESE WERE FIXED RAPIDLY AND CHEERFULLY by Cheyenne, they wanted to 
know about them and worked with our people to solve the problems, many are 
now shipping to all customers. They were able to turn around beta 
copies for download very quickly....

NO, I don't work for them or hold stock... GOOD vendors should be patted on 
the back.... publicly... and bad ones allowed to go out of business.

Hi,

Brian is correct.  But, there is not much to add to his description.

The FINDER has a bug in it which prevents it from properly handling volume
sizes greater than 2 Gigabytes.  The problem has to do with the variable type
of a GET_VOL_PARAM variable, in that it only supports 2,000,000,000,000 
unique values (so can handle volumes up to 2 Gig's).  Please consult the Novell
Support Encyclopedia (NSE) and look at card number 5493, or title "Volume Size
Restrictions in the Macintosh OS" for a more complete discussion of this 
problem.

Both Apple Corp. and Novell Inc. are looking at ways to solve this problem.

So, that is the scoop.

Think Peace... and PLEASE V-O-T-E-VOTE!!!

Subject: Xircom Network Simplicity uses bogus adapters?
Date: 1 Oct 92 15:36:11 GMT
Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA

Does Network Simplicity kit from Xircom include REAL Ethernet pocket adapters?

This special package is available for about $400 and includes 2 pocket
ethernet adapters, 2 copies of Netware Lite, an Email package, and some more.
Since a Xircom pocket adapter goes for about $250 alone, I wondered how this
could be.  I called Xircom and they said they are _SPECIAL_ pocket
adapters, that only work with the Netware Lite software!  They implied
that the adapters in this kit would _NOT_ work with the normal drivers
supplied by Xircom (for NDIS, ODI, and Packet Drivers).

If I can get this package for $400 and still use the pocket adapters on
my other systems with NDIS, ODI, and Packet Drivers (not at the same time
of course), I'd be very happy.

So does anyone have first-hand experience using the adapters in the Simplicity
kit with the 'regular' Xircom drivers for NDIS, ODI, and PD?

We did this and it worked just fine.  We just set up the queue as a Postscript
printer and charon acted just like rprinter (at least from a logical

The NetWare print spooler will send a job to the printer when either it has
received no data in the last X seconds, where X is the preassigned timeout
value, OR when the application informs it that the print job is complete.
An application informs the spooler that the job is complete by closing the
file it is printing to (LPTx). If an application assumes that it owns the
printer, and therefore it decides to keep the file open, the spooler has
to assume that the application is still thinking about the next bit of the
job it wants to print, so it considers the job incomplete.

The only defect in this architecture is that is impossible to account for
programmers who are too ignorant or lazy to close the LPTx file when they
are finished with it.

If this sounds like a flame, it is. You don't need any special novell
libraries to write software that acts as a good network citizen, it's a
standard DOS call, and assuming that it's Novells fault that your non-
Novell software is broken is unfair. (Novell is at fault for lots of
other things).

There probably exist TSRs will close the files when you press a key sequence
but a brief search of the NOVLIB index doesn't find one. Which probably
indicates that Novell doesn't need one, because I know that just such
a fix was available for 3+share, which did need it.

If you're running something at the DOS prompt, then the default for
CAPTURE is to close the spool file when a DOS app ends (AutoEndSpool=ON?)
(In fact, this is the default for DOS. AutoEndSpool=OFF is an extension
that was added to allow you to concatenate printouts from different jobs).

If any of the foregoing is technically incorrect, feel free to flame me. I
deserve it!
