In this particular case, it crashed the IP router, and the server it was

Now, that's a non-sequitur. Knowing the workings of IPX or NCP doesn't help
in picking network numbers, nor does it protect you from mischievious
packets.

I seem to have found places with answers to some of the questions.
Caution: we haven't tried this yet!

1.  The Adaptec manual for NetWare installation for drivers
    AHA1540 and AHA1640 describes a command-line parameter
    ABOVE16=y.

2.  SCSI Express supplies their own Adaptec driver.  There is a
    file on the disk called AHA.TXT which describes a BELOW16
    parameter (how's that for consistency) and some other options.
    This material suggests that the NetWare "set receive buffers ..."
    be used only if an error message indicates that it's needed.

3.  The NetWare "set receive buffers below 16 Meg" is described in
    the readme.311 file on the 3.11 system-1 disk.

Checking the "readme" files on a software product seems to be the
most important part of the installation process!

Thank you to everyone that responded.  The solution seems to be
increasing the poll time to 120.  Since increasing the poll time,
Charon has remained stable for about 3 days with nightly backups, so
I'm assuming the problem is fixed.

Thanks again,

This is what I was afraid of, The hack.exe program fires 256 packets
to the fileserver which (from the fileservers point of view) all come
from a supervisor equivalent connection, the 256 packets are needed
to get one valid sequence number the hack program isn't capable of
finding out the rights equence number.

The only thing Novell could do is clear connections which generate
invalid sequence numbers, Think about what a lost packet could mean,
and It doesn't secure us because one out of 256 times the hack
program would work !!!

Please Novell give us more tech info about what sollutions there are.
The press release telling us it was no danger really is a laugh, Tell
us what the fix does. Security through obscurity is not what my
management wants. And blaming other vendors of having the same
problems is a weak excuse, there is no ready to run program available
that does the same thing with Vines or LM

The TO field invites the user to type an address, which it will try to lookup
in the address book. One has to click the address book icon and select "new"
SMTP address and then type the address. This is clumsy and I have told MS so.

Please check if this user is telling the truth! If he is right I want to know
how to do it! SHARE is not my favourite TSR! Go to his PC and start MS mail.
If it works, drop back to DOS and type C:\DOS\SHARE and see if you get a
message like "SHARE already installed". The most irritating detail is that
SHARE is not really needed when the POSTOFFICE and all the user's folders
are stored on a network file server. Clumsy, Microsoft!

Subject:      Lanspool v3.5 Initialization files.

I just upgraded to Lanspool 3.5 for Netware 3.11 and noticed that they have
changed their initialization file naming scheme for a print station.

In previous versions, the system manager installing Lanspool background
printing on a workstation (using NODE.EXE) would create his/her own
initialization file (xxxxxxx.ini). Now it appears that this configuration
file is created by the Lanspool software. It also appears that the name of
this file is bound to the address of the network card in the workstation
(I sure hope this isn't the case, because it would make workstation
replacement a problem).

Does anyone know more about this subject? Possibly, what algorythm is used to
determine this file name?

We use tiarra ARCnet cards with teh arcether packet driver, works

Subject:      Novell Security Breach?

Well, it's one of those mornings, before heading into work, I caught a
tidbit on CNBC (Local US cable channel) regarding a bunch of students in
Sweden or was it Norway, who had apparently found a rather substantial
security hole in Netware 3.x and had informed Novell about the bug. Novell's
response was that they are working on it and have published a fix for it.

By any chance is this what securefx.nlm is all about or does it relate to
that knock problem mentioned awhile ago? Has anyone else heard any news to
this effect?

Subject:      Novell User ID Limitations

Hello All!

We are getting ready to embark on setting up individual ID's for all
of our registered students. I seem to recall recently reading
messages from this list as to limitations on how many ID's the
bindary can handle. We currently have aproximately 7000 students
enrolled this Fall semester.

My question is....

Is there a limitation on the total number of ID's that can be set up
in SYSCON? If so, what is the limit?

Could you also tell me if this is documented somewhere? I looked in
some of the Novell manuals but could not find anything stating such a
limitation.

Please send responses directly to me as I don't want to use
bandwidth and other peoples time repeating information.

Thanks In Advance!!! :-)

Subject:      NW3.11 with AHA1542: Bootproblems

Recently we changed from Netware 3.10 to 3.11.
From that moment on, our server refuses to complete the bootcycle without
some manuel help.
The serverconfiguration extists of a HP Vectra, an Adaptec AHA1542 controller
and an 600 Mb Seagate ST4702N drive.

The Startup.ncf looks like this:
    load a:aspitran
    load a:aha1540 port=230 int=b dma=5

These drivers load. However, after that, instead of mouting volume SYS and
reading the servername etc. form the Autoexec.ncf, the server-to-be
prompts for its name and adress.
We give him this manually and finish the bootprocess by typing:
      Mount SYS:
      Autoexec

Has anybody encountered a similair problem? And solved it?
Any reaction would be apperciated.

Christopher (or anyone else):

We're running a NW 3.11 LAN to provide CD-ROM database services over our campus
broadband.  We also have about 15-20 workstations in our two library buildings.
All of the library workstations currently use "ps=" to specify the CD server.
We ain't had any problems yet, but we've only been in production for about two
months.  It's the "yet" part that bothers me.  Sorry if this is an FAQ (though
I didn't see it mentioned in the latest FAQ posting), but what sort of problems
have people had with using ps= ?  Reply to me and I'll summarize for the list.
Thanks!

Gary,

Since you are having success with CUTCP and the IBMTOKEN packet
driver, I must assume that you're either (1) using the IBM LAN
Support Program drivers (DXMA0MOD & DXMC0MOD), or (2) using the old
TSR program TOKREUI.COM

The trick you're looking for is:  DON'T USE THE BYU IPX!  Instead,
use WSGEN to create an IPX configured for "IBM LAN Support Program",
*NOT* for "Token Ring".  The "Token Ring" driver works directly with
the card, which screws up the packet driver.

Load order is:

    IBMTOKEN 0x61 0
    IPX
    NETX

We've been using it here for a loooong time.  If you have any more
problems, please mail me directly.
