There are still old bugs in NETWARE Lite 1.1 :

	(1) NET USERLIST shows still users that have logged out before
	(2) NET SEND reports that is has delivered messages to users
	    who have not been logged in at this moment (see 1) or
	    who have rejected message receiving by NET RECEIVE OFF
	(3) in the German release there "Y" is used instead of "J" ...

Incomplete enhancements:
	(4) when a NWLite server has been reactivated (e.g. re-booted)
	    all dependend clients reactivate their network devices
	    (NET MAPped) but *NOT* their network printers (NET CAPTUREd).
	    This also happens when you deactivate and then reactivate
	    a network printer (by NET shell: change of usage rights...)
	(5) when the NWLite server has been reactivated while there
	    are print job in one of its printer queues all print jobs
	    in this queue will be paused - that's o.k. ...!
	    But I think, the system itself should unpause the printer
	    jobs after reactivation of the server.



I'm waiting for some reply ...

You are asking about comparing apples and oranges.

Are you heavily vested in DOS workstations or UNIX workstations?

If you are vested heavier in one side then that shows which platform
to use.

If the type of machines is even then you need to ask yourself do you
need connectivity between both worlds?

If so then you could run Netware on a central server that would allow
DOS clients access to file and print services. Then you could either
by Netware NFS that would allow UNIX users access to the same Netware
file and print services.  The two products together would be
$4,995 for Netware NFS and $4,995 for 50 user version of Netware 3.11.

Or you could get Portable Netware or Netware for Sun for your Sun.
I don't know the cost of this particular product.

If you wanted to load PC-NFS on Dos workstation and have seemless connectivity
to both Netware and Sun at the same time it can be done for a resonable
memory hit. Running both the Netware shell and PC-NFS shell with the
correct modules will run you about 70-100K with reasonable memory management. 

Then you will have the overhead of running the NFS protocol right from your
workstation compared to using a centralized server to be the
middle point between the Dos/Netware and UNix/NFS world.
You must install PC-NFS on all workstations that you want this connectivity
compared to installing NFS on just the Netware server that should have the
high amount of memory and faster processor, hopefully.

Subject: NASI Comm server prob. on WAN
Date: 9 Oct 92 18:17:32 GMT
Organization: NRL



Hey everyone.

My name is John Clark, and I work for the US Fish & Wildlife
Service.  I've having a problem with a comm server.  

We have 2 fileservers (in two Divisions, connected together)
running Netware 3.11.  The server in the other Division has a
commserver running NACS.  I attach to the other server, run NASI
v2.09, load Procomm Plus and dial out. It works flawlessly until
we connect our 2 servers to the larger (14 fileserver) WAN.  I
know that there is another NACS server on another fileserver, but
that comm server is not always up.  

When we are not connected to the WAN and I load NASI I get a
choice of modem, and can dial out.

When we are connected to the WAN and I load NASI the list of
modems is different and comprised of entries that do not seem
reasonable (eg 'line24'). 

Any thoughts?

I figured that there should be a way to direct NASI to a
particular comm server, but can't find anything in the manual.

Thanks for the help, please feel free to internet directly to 
jc@i5120h.nrl.navy.mil.

Subject: EISA Ethernet Cards for File Server
Organization: University of Delaware, Newark
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 1992 07:00:48 GMT

We just got our server upgraded to EISA (finally...) and are trying to find
some decent but fairly priced EISA Ethernet cards for it.

We got some Mylex EISA Ethernet cards (LNE390B) but I haven't been able to
get them to work (they keep crashing the server) because of a shared memory
conflict (can only choose FFC0000, FFE0000, and FFF0000 in our server) so
it's back to the NE2000 for now, and the Mylex will probably go back.

I've seen the Micronics EISA Ethernet card for about $400; how are they?

We just released 311PT8.ZIP which can be found on ftp.novell.com in
the 01 (new uploads) forum. It contains all official patches to NetWare 3.11.
It would be kind of silly to install them all though. Read the
documentation that is in the file and figure out which ones are relevent
to you. Almost none of them are relevent to anything I do to my servers.

I can't help but notice that 311PT9.ZIP has just materialised in that
directory too. I only read about 311PT8.ZIP 3 days ago. I can't keep up.
I assume 311PT9.ZIP obsoletes 311PT8.ZIP but haven't had the time to
study it. Sorry....

Subject: Tape backups for 3.11?

Date: Fri, 9 Oct 1992 13:50:28 GMT

   Hello fellow net'ers.

I have a simple question.  We have a small lan with a novell 3.11 file 
server.  What I need to know is.... are there any tape backup drives that
work with the novell 3.11 OS.  

    Are file serve consists of the following:	

       IBM PS/2 70/386 with 8M of memory and a 120M hard disk. 	
       IBM 16/4 TR adapter.

As you can see it's a small file server.  But never the less we need a 
practical way to backup up the data.
   If it were a ISA computer  I would say CMS tapedrives but since it
is a MCA pc I don't have a clue about whats available.


                      Any suggestions??

i am not an authority as i didn't write the program, but  here's my
understanding...

the only things that pmail does to do this would be the following:

	BROADCAST MESSAGE - to let the person know that they got new mail if
			    they are logged in.
	LOGIN_TO_FILE_SERVER - logs into the file other fileserver using the 
			       account and pw that is defined in pconfig.
	CREATE_TMP_DRIVE_MAPPING - map to mail dir of user.
	write_to_file - probably just the dos write functions...
	LOGOUT_FROM_SERVER - logout again.

i think that this is all that's required for novell-novell mailing.  of course
this is different if you are using MHS...

the info on the interrupts behind these routines can be found in the book by
Charles Rose - Netware C Programming or something like that.  or you can buy
the c libraries from novell.  

hope that this is close and it is helpful...

These hex codes represent a 16 bit number from the Token ring card indicating

signal loss, 'beacon frames are being received' or 'Adapter removed from ring'
(which is the '4' which comes and goes).
to the server.

The problem that it indicates is a broken cable or faulty connection in the
in the main ring somewhere *before* the beaconing station but *after* its last
known neighbor before the signal was lost (called the NAUN).

To find out these addresses you can use the diagnostic program that comes with
the IBM Token Ring cards (at least I know the  IBM 16/4 has it) called the
'Ring Diagnostic'.  Just boot from the floppy and select from the menu.

Look out for a message that says: DFIPD200E Ring not working.

The next line will give two hex addresses.  The first is the NAUN's address
the second is the Beaconing Adapter's address.  Using a "map" of your
network which includes addresses look for the fault in the ring *from* the
NAUN station *to* the beaconing station.  Easy! :-).

I am trying to set up a Novell Netware 386 3.11 file server with two
network cards (to improve performance for two "halves" of  a single
network).  Also on the network (obviously, physically connected to one
side) is a gateway to the campus network.  My problem is how to configure
the second board in the autoexec.ncf file.  Pertinent parts as follows:

ipx internal net 3
load C:\Netware\smcpluss port=280 frame=ETHERNET_802.3 name=1smc802
bind IPX to 1smc802 net=2001234
load C:\Netware\smcpluss port=280 frame=ETHERNET_II name=smcII
bind IPX to smcII net=1234
load tcpip forward=yes
bind ip to smcII addr=128.253.113.6 mask=255.255.255.0
     bcast=128.253.113.255 gate=128.253.113.1

Problems start here when I try to load the second board:

load C:\Netware\smcpluss port=240 frame=ETHERNET_802.3  name=2smc802
bind IPX to 2smc802 net=????????
load C:\Netware\smcpluss port=240 frame=ETHERNET_II name=sm2II
bind IPX to sm2II net=????????
bind ip to 2s2II addr=???????? mask=????????? bcast=128.253.113.255
     gate=128.253.113.1

Unsure of all ????.

My particular problem is with the second "bind ip".  It won't take a
different ip address, nor will the two "halves" of the network see each
other (for ip packets) if this command is left out.

Suggestions?

Organization: Merck Research Laboratories

With PS/2s and bus master cards (Token-Ring, or other) you have a few steps to
do:

1. In the STARTUP.NCF, add the line 
   SET AUTO REGISTER MEMORY ABOVE 16 MEGABYTES = OFF

2. Add a line to the AUTOEXEC.NCF:
   REGISTER MEMORY 1000000 1000000

   (The first 1000000 is the hexidecimal address where the memory begins
    --in this case 16, and the second 1000000 is the hex length of the
    memory--in this case 16.  Your second number would be 0000010 for two 
    I would think).

3. Check to see if you can still login.  If you get strange characters on the
   screen and other garbage, it may be that you have a card which doesn't work
   well with > 16MB of RAM.  In that case, send me E-mail and I'll let you

   know some other patches (I don't have them in front of me now).

Good luck,

You're probably mistaking this for the ethernet address.  It's likely taken
from SLIST or something, and in NW3.1, the protocol stacks/router function
in the server creates an internal extended network.  A 3.11 server on SLIST
will always show itself as node 1.  You'll also note that the address of the
rest of the machines on that cable is probablly NOT LAN 0002; that's
undoubtedly the interal IPX network number (on which the server is merely a
node), and the "server" (box) looks to the outside world as though it were a
full router with the ethernet address burned into the interface card(s).

Since a 2.x server doesn't run an internal virtual network, it uses the
ethernet card address as the server's node address.
