Yes I'm having the same problems with Vrepair.  Are there any versions
that have particular problems or is there only one version of Vrepair?
I'm also running NFS do I have to make sure that the V_NFS.NLM module
is running?

Organization: The Turing Project, Charlottesville Virginia.

For the netware programming gurus:

I've poured over the Novell API stuff at my office and can't
for the life of me figure out a way for my program (one I'm
still writing) to announce the ethernet address of the novell
server whose volume the program is running from.

If my program is DWEEZIL/SYS:/PROGS/MUSTAFA.EXE, then I want
MUSTAFA to be able to report the address of DWEEZIL's
(primary) ethernet card. Anyone know how to do this?
Anyone done it already? 

Clearly it should be do-able, since all the e-packets that MUSTAFA's
workstation and the DWEEZIL server exchange contain the
ethernet address of both. 

Thanks in advance.

The LWP programmer's kit is available with a few examples
of DOS and Windows clients and servers.  It provides decent BSD
emulation, so your Unix sockets are almost identical.  And the
docs are excellent. 

In fact, you can probably take the BSD FINGER program, remove
a few meaningless lines and probably reference a few different
header files, and have a perfectly acceptable LWP application.

Contact your nearest Novell salesperson for pricing.

Organization: Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Piscataway NJ

Hi Netware people! Gotta a few questions about remote Netware access:

1)	I am aware of a few dial-in access servers for Netware which
        allow a user to dial in from a remote location and use all of the
        network resources (i.e. programs, print services, e-mail)
        as if they were logged in locally. Is anyone using these? If so,
        any complaints? Good things? Bad things? How about performance?

2)	Is there any way to perform such magic (as in 1) via the Internet?
        In particular, if I am at location X and logged in to a UNIX
        host, I would like to be able to log in as a Netware user and run
        say Oracle off of the Novell server or WordPerfect, etc at 
        some other location on the Internet.

3)	If this is possible, what type of HW and SW is needed and what
        might performance be like?


I am putting together a network using Novell Netware 3.xx. The focus is
on client/server systems using the NLM version of Oracle and SQL*Net for 
IPX/SPX. As you might have guessed, we have users in a remote location
with plenty of access to university machines.  I would hate to make them
dial in from such a great distance so we would like to try to use the
Internet to close the gap a bit.

Many thanks,

If you know the base I/O port of your ethernet card, it's not too hard.

The WD8003e card defines I/O port offsets 0x08 -> 0x0D as being the
world-wide unique 48-bit ethernet address of the card, which for WD
always starts with 00 00 c0 (hex).  Also, offset 0x0f is the checksum
register for I/O ports 0x08 -> 0x0f.

The ne2000 has the 8390 NIC registers at offset 0 -> 0x0f.

Hope this helps, and my sincere apologies in advance to russ nelson if
he finds this posting offensive :-)

If you compare strings, compare strings on both sides. And variables
have, regardless if string or not, a leading percent-sign.
Yes, I know it is described slightly different in the manual,
but it works.

Today I snarfed msg_14.zip from some ftp site. Can't remember which one (Yep,

We have a 2.2 network installed in our office. We just purchased a 3.11

servers talk to each other so that an user logged on a 2.2 station can 
have access to both servers. After trying many different combinations,
we connected a 2.2 server with a 3.11 server via thin-coax and compex
16 bit arcnets. First we bring up 2.2, then 3.11. After that, we load the
lan driver on the 3.11 and bind IPX to it. A few minutes later, we receive
the following message:

"Incomplete packets received".

The number of packets continues to increase with time. We contacted Novell
and were assured that this is possible.  However we still have no success.
Does anyone out there have any suggestions?

it because, #1 it doesn't account for postscript and #2 it runs

I confess that I did not take the time to read this thread throughly, but I'd
like to offer this suggestion all the same:  In case of the WD 8003E/EB/EP/
Elite/etc... cards (including the 16-bit 8013xxx series cards, try running
EZSETUP and turning the "Add Wait States" setting to "ON".  I have found
this to help in many bizarre instances when off-brand hardware and/or
OpSys' are used.  This is assuming that the other basics have already
been checked, such as shared mem. contention, etc, etc.

Question on the latest version of NW NFS.  Does it fix the problem with

We have several packages that only put out "%!" on the first line and it is a

But is it not true that DAT is thin and rather fragile? Not all backups
are for disaster-recovery. If they are used for data migration in a
hierarchical storage system (which implies jukebox access) or simply as
an explicitly-selected bulk storage medium, they must last for several
years. Are they suitable for this too, or just for short-term recovery?

Subject: Disabling logins from a station

I have set up a station as a remote printer with RPRINTER.  I would like
to disable logins from this station.  I tried the following from 
system login script (Novell 3.11):

        WRITE P_STATION
	IF P_STATION = "00000000ABCD" THEN BEGIN
          WRITE ...
          #SYS:/PUBLIC/LOGOUT
        END

The P_STATION is in capitals.  The station ID I am comparing with is
12 digits long.  I have compared the P_STATION ID that is printer from
the previous "write" and it appears to be ok.  However, the IF...END
is never executed.  If, however, I replace "=" with "!=", then it does
execute the IF...END block.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
