Subject:      help on implementing internet & tcp/ip

I would like some advice on implementing more direct internet
support on our network.  I have a mixed installation with Arcnet
and Ethernet and large number of servers of various vintages.
While I am fairly experienced with novell and multiple server
ipx environments, I have no previous experience with TCP/IP.

I'm using the ODI drivers on all new installations, and converting
older installations to the ODI drivers as we come across them.
We have a number of Vax machines, and our Novell Servers are sharing
an ethernet backbone with them.  I have one copy of Netware for VMS
installed, and this is currently our connection between the "worlds".
Currently, a user has to load "TES" on his pc, and run a terminal emulator
to connect to the VAX, and run VAX MAIL and FTP, etc. to get to
the Internet.  (On the Novell side, we are using WordPerfect Office
as our mail system.)

My goal is to be able to simplify the process and allow an arcnet or
ethernet user to run software on his pc and connect easily to the
Internet for mail and ftp.  I'm hoping that there are inexpensive
solutions to this.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

A couple of things to ask since we have 2 of these on our system here.

1. Did you take the terminating resistors off the drives?
2. What are the addresses of the drives. Most vendors don't configure
   the drives correctly. I wish I could tell you what ours our configured
   at here but I'm at home right now.
3. Are you terminating internally or are you running an external drive?

4. What version of DOS are you booting with? DOS 3 and 4 both need a patch
   before the OS will see the drives, even though the reference disk sees
   them.

If any of these help, or you can answer them maybe we can narrow the
problem down.

As far as I know, you DO NOT need a generic scsi ddriver to get these
drives running. The main problem has been DOS versions.

Subject:      List of Novell Approved Machines, List of Novell Approved Dealers

I am looking for two pieces of information.  I have checked the FAQ and recent
postings to no avail so here goes:

1) Where can I get a list of Novell approved machines?
      (presumably this would be a large file with approval for different
       types of machines for different purposes)
2) Where can I get a list of Novell approved dealers?
      (ie who is allowed to give Novell courses in country X,
          who is allowed to sell the Novell product in country X)

Now presumably these can be found on the sites that mirror the novell ftp
server.  I could not locate them.  Therefore a subsidiary question would be:

3) How do you look for a file on the novell mirror sites?

The index information (as far as I discovered) is minimal and one ends up
having to download .zip files to see what's in them!  Of course I could have
missed the obvious "this_is_the_index_you_eejit" file.  I did look in the FAQ
first, and in obvious index type files.

As a may get many answers containing the same information it is best to mail
the replys to me directly.  I will post a summary of answers both here and to
the FAQ maintainer.  Apologies if I have missed the obvious here.

Is this really what you wanted to say? I thought the easiest way of
connecting two Thin Ethernet segments (not networks) is with a repeater.

Subject:      OS/2 Requester

I have the new requester pack and it doesn't help.  I have seen the
question asked both here and on usenet, but have not seen an answer;

The apps don't seem to recognize files or file attributes properly
in global mode ( not just DOS global).  This really means that only
private DOS sessions(with NETX and a separate sign-on)  operate
predictably and reliably.  For example,
the OS/2 Editor will not create a file on a network drive.  The text
editor I have been using (Program Editor from WP Library) will
browse network files including allowing me to read the contents, but
when I push the "Retrieve" button, I get a 'file not found message'.

The latest fix did not even mention this problem.  This is serious
enough that I am considering switching to LAN Manager so I can go
with OS/2.

All suggestions appreciated,

It sounds from your message like you reason to use Ethernet II frames is to
allow both IPX and IP to run on the workstation.

ODI will allow you to do this without having to get special boot roms for
Ethernet II. The boot rom will load an image which can load ODI configured
for Ethernet_802.3 and Ethernet_II concurrently. Then bind your IPX to
Ethernet_802.3 and your IP to Ethernet_II.

Michael,

1.    all our user directories and accounts have been set up as yours
ie   not owned by supervisor.   No problems whatsoever as a result, either
under 2.15 or 3.11.

3.  We use a Maynard DAT drive and software for backup of 10 servers from a
single client workstation.  Works great and looks after bindery, but then
so do a number of other systems.

Right now all of our macs on campus are on one zone "LocalTalk"

What I want to do is add NW Mac to an existing 3.11 server on the
same ethernet as the Gatorbox is on.  What do I need to do to get
this to work...  What NLM's do I need to load, what is all this
hoopla about namespace, what do I need on the mac side, and most
important, how do I find all the mac network numbers that I need?

Baluns on 10Base-2?  Yuck!  The things some netadmins are forced to
do! (Walks away mumbling about prehistoric wiring strategies....)

I've never used an Ethernet balun, but if they work the way one would
expect them to, each side should be electrically isolated via the
transformer.  Therefore, if you wanted each thinnet segment to be
grounded (and, as I've said before, this is not always strictly neces-
sary) you would have to individually ground each segment.

However, before you try this, do a simple test and measure the DC
resistance through the balun for both the center conductor and shield.
If you get continuity (or anything that remotely resembles it) then
stick with one ground for the whole thing.

I agree.  Copyright issues are upto the developer of any product.  It is
quite simple for Murkworks to get a copy of this freeware product and to
check it for copyright violations.

If there be such violations (I am NOT saying one-way or the other) then let
Murkworks attend to it.  If not, then the orginator of this topic/complaint
needs to PUBLICALLY appologise to the author of the freeware product, AND
to this group.

Furthermore, 'look-and-feel' is NOT necessarily a violation of copyright.
Apple has been fighting Microsoft on this for sometime.  The last I heard
was that they were NOT succeeding with that law-suit. (correct me if I'm
wrong)

So, until Murkworks have documantary proof (such that will stand up in a
court of law) that there has been a breach of their copyright, then let's
just act like civilised adult computer users and show our proper gratitude
towards another developer, for their many hours of work AND their kindness
in providing yet another valuable freeware program!!!

Thanks to all who responded to my request for utilities to rename USERIDs,

JRBUTILS and tried it.  It seems to work the best.  The LISTOBJ lets
us created an ASCII file with all userids that we can use as input into
some management programs we are writing.  Also, while F3 in SYSCON will
let us change the USERID, it doesn't change the home directory (which is
set to %LOGIN_NAME).  By using a combination of RENOBJ (from JRBUTILS),
RENDIR (from Novell), and SETHOME (from David Harris), we can rename the
userid, rename the directory, and set the home directory to the new one - all
in a simple DOS batch file.  Again, thanks to all who responded.
