Subject:      running Spirit/DataCad with NW3.11 on diskless workstations

I'm sendling this again, I don't think it reached the list last time.

Having decided to go with Spirit AEC (a.k.a.  DataCad in the US) our
Architecture School is wondering if anybody else runs this CAD package
on a Nw3.11 network from (hard) diskless machines. Our local supplier
suggests that it is not advisable to run Spirit with this setup. However
we don't want the extra workload of having to clean up local disks (this
will be a student lab). The reason given against the diskless setup is that
network traffic for dongle checking and temp files would significantly
increase network traffic. I'd like to know if anybody else is running
Spirit with a similar setup, and basically is it workable?


Thanks in advance

We are using the IPXPKT packet driver to send IP over IPX. For this we are
using the following setup.

The DOS workstations are running a normal IPX and NET stack to give access to
the fileservers. On top of IPX we are also running the IPXPKT packet driver
which simulates an ethernet on top of the IPX layer. We use an TCPIP
application (TELNET or FTP). The IPX <-> IP router on the network backbone
receives the IPX packets, strips off the IPX headers and retransmits
Ethernet II packets which can be picked up by TCP/IP hosts. This works quitte
well BUT when sending a large amount of DATA to the TCPIP host via FTP the
router hangs. We have tried different router software and different machines.
The only thing that seems to make a difference is a faster machine. The
router works better and doesn't hang as soon but it still hangs. According
to me the problem lies in the IPXPKT packet driver. I used two versions of it
both 9 and 10 but, no difference. Is there anybody out there who is using the
same or similar setup and is willing to tell me his or hers problems or
working setup.

I would like to use Novell Netware 3.11 and PC NFS 4.0 together.  I
have a 3C503 card.  They work fine alone, but not together.
Does anyone know if this will work?  Do I need some type of shim?

Subject:      Novell Security Suite reissued

        As the title says, the suite of security files has been reissued
by Novell. They located in the NetWire archive novlib (ftp.novell.com and
mirrors) in directory novfiles, file names SEC*.*.
        A quick scan shows the changes to be in CLIB, rev level d this time,
and in MATHLIBC (much larger). I don't recall anything else I changed from
the previous issue.
        I placed these on netlab2 and restarted it, successfully. Maybe
it is my imagination but the server seemed to check the volume faster than
before, by a fair amount of time. NFS and MAC name spaces are loaded, no
hiccups there either. And the pertinant material from 311ptc.zip is loaded.
        Go get'em.

Forgive this question if it is a repeat.

I have Netware NFS 1.2 running on my 3.11 server and I am printing to an HP
XL300 printer.  The printer has a JetDirect card in it.  My question is this...


Is there any way that I can turn off the banner page and the formfeed after the
print job?

I have this problem when people from the Unix side of things print to this
queue.  I know how to handle this from the DOS side of things.

Any help appreciated,

There is a LWFD version of Gopher, but I'm not sure the ftp location.  You

Subject:      RE: Locked out of network

A serious business! Two things to do immediately:

1) Delete the connection you already have in case this interferes with a
subsequent attempt - do this from Monitor at the console.

2) At a station type `login /sc:\xxxx' where `c:\xxxx' is a simple login
script doing any essential mappings to sys:system you will need to undo the
harm. The `/s' switch overrides both system and user login scripts so your
error will have no effect. Once you are in as supervisor you can revise the
system login script.

Lastly, you have now discovered a terrible and beautiful truth the hard way:
*never ever never* make changes to the system login script or some other
essential or important configuration without being simultaneously logged-in
as supervisor on some other station!

Good luck!

Thanks to all who responded.


Western Digital was bought by SMC.  The drivers are located on SMC's area
on Compuserv, as well as on netlab2.usu.edu (cd drivers.. thanks Joe!).
NE2000 compatibilty was indeed a myth.  The machines are now ready, almost.
At least, they can talk to the server faster now- it's just a matter of
getting the rest of the system configured.  Thanks again.

Any shortcuts to just add the extra 5 users or do I have to run INSTALL

This server has a lot of critical data and downtime needs to be at a minimum.

In fact, we recently brought 10 new Macs onto our server for that very
reason. They have a large medical database application that they need to
share. They had budgeted for a Quadra, but the company that developed the
application suggested that they'd get much better performance by using a
Netware server. It's nice to feel wanted...

Personally I would put an EXIT"LOG.BAT" or something to that affect and
have the LOG.BAT execute the programs that you want executed.

We have a similar configuration - Novell servers connected via campus IP
backbone - which are using IP TUNNEL peer statements on both servers.  We
had the same problem until we extended the watchdog parameters on both
ends.  Apparently the watchdog packets do not get transmitted across the
backbone.  Our watchdog parameters are # of packets = 100, delay between =
10 min. and delay before first = 20 minutes.  This has been working ever
since we made these changes last spring.

What cards are you running in the server and in the workstations.  How about
on the main ehternet.

We had a problem with a 2.2 server crashing very often...   We had our nos
patched and tried everything to fix it.

Write me direct for what we found to be the solution...
