I ran into exactly the same problem last week.  Let me guess some paramters
that you did not tell us:  you are running dos 5.0 with dos=high,umb in your
config.sys, and you probably have a video card with a lot of memory.

What happens when you do a cold boot is that dos tries to figure out where
to put its umb's.  It loads them at the first place it finds empty.  Now 
when you load your wdplus driver you probably specified d800 cc00 or d000
or something like that as a memory address.  This happens to be where the
umb's were put.  The software detects that and does not use the memory-->
no net access.
After you do a soft boot, dos again tries to find space for its umb's, 
sees that the wdplus board wants to use a part, and loads above that 
memory and everything works.  

Solution:
Figure out where you have free memory with the umbs loaded:
Cold boot your machine and run msd (Microsoft Diagnostics, comes with win31)
and look at the memory map.  In my case >e000 was free.  
Configure the wdplus board with that address, and everything works!

You can find these conflicts by running the diagnose program that came 
with the wdplus card.  Try it after a cold boot, and you will see that it
fails the memory test of the basic adapter test.

Good Luck

I'm running a Pure Data PDI508 Arcnet board under the OS/2 2.0 requestor,
talking to a 3.1.1 server.  Only one problem... the TRXNET.SYS driver
occasionally experiences a TRAP 000D at boot time (when the driver gets

I had big problems until I got my net.cfg straight.  In particular,

Financial concerns aside, you could have both, and each setup has it's
own advantages.  A NetWare file server is a good choice for users more 
interested in their conventional DOS and Windows applications, UNIX a 
good choice for acting as a gateway to the Internet and for those who 
prefer the UNIX environment.  One physical network can easily handle 
both types of traffic (NetWare 3.11 suggested if you plan to set up
multiple sub-nets or have more than one server, which sounds likely
for your environment).

Does this really answer the question?  It tells how to restrict printing
in the LocalTalk zone, but what about AFP services?  Suppose the Macs in
the Local Talk zone are Sys 7 boxes with file sharing by administrators
who for some god forsaken reason want to avoid passwords (I've seen this
happen).  I really doubt that you could hide the zone per se, but if an
individual were in a position to determine what inits/extensions were
loaded on a user's Mac then LaserWriter Lockout (Shareware avialable at
sumex-aim.stanford.edu) can hide all LaserWriter, AT ImageWriter and all
AFP Server types in a given zone that you deem needing hiding.

OK Dan,  I know this was reaching, but I have actually run into this
kind of worst case scenario here at UGA.  I also realize that this ain't
really any kind of security as it only protects you from the low level
user who doesn't know how to remove an init, but they exist too.

Subject: Functions Performed By Netware.drv Under Windows?

Can someone tell me exactly what penalties are incurred if you try to
use Netware drives and printers under Windows without installing Windows
to use the netware.drv driver?  (i.e., network.drv=netware.drv statement in
system.ini)?

I was visiting a company the other day and noticed that they had
configured Windows with "No Network Installed."  When I tried to
politely point out that they should really install Windows for the
network they are using, I was met with the challenge (paraphrased)
"Well, we've been able to use network drives and printers without a
problem, so why should we install the Windows drivers?"  I was a bit
embarrassed to not have a good answer to that question immediately.  Of
course the Control Panel networks dialog relies on the network driver,
but the functionality in this dialog looks pretty bland.  

So, the questions are: 

1)	Do I compromise my ability to use my existing mapped network
drives and printers by not installing the network driver?

2)	What other capabilities are associated with installation of the
driver under Windows?

Subject: backing up Netware servers to exabyte (& Sbackup)
Organization: Dept. of Computer Science, University of Ottawa
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 92 16:25:25 GMT

Hi,

We want to backup two netware servers to an 8mm exabyte tape backup
unit which we already own (our netware servers have Western Digital
7000Fast SCSI cards). Our backup needs are not very heavy, ie. backup
several volumes once or twice a week.

Does Sbackup support WD's card (if not, I'd have no problems with
purchasing a supported SCSI card)

I read several months ago discussions from people complaining about
Novell's Sbackup, and how it was problem-prone. In a July article, Joe
Doupnik made the following comments concerning Sbackup:

> Novell: it's past time to put some person power on this issue. Hints
> for those persons: greatly simplify, greatly strengthen, never ever
> fail to restore because of any glitch whatsoever, never strand users

> permission, get the .NLM installation material under control and
> discard the SYSTEM\DIBI trash.  Backup/restore programs should not

Have these enhancements been made?

Are there other alternatives to Sbackup to allow server backup to an 
exabyte tape unit?

Thanks for any info.

We have several Mac users on our NW 3.11 network under NW4Mac
3.011.  When they try to take an item from a folder on the
network drive and put it in the trash, a box comes up that says
the item may not be left in the trash, do they want to delete it
immediately?

It's evidently a rights problem, because when we log on as
supervisor from a Mac the problem goes away.  In addition to the
folders the Mac users work with, I have tried adding the
directories DELETED.SAV and DESKTOP.AFP to the list of
directories in which they have SRWCEMF rights, but this hasn't
fixed it.

Thanks for any suggestions.

"10BaseT backbone" is an oxymoron. 10BaseT is a star or distributed star
topology; it is possible to have a backbone connecting a number of the
stars, but the backbone won't be 10BaseT.

Look under "Ethernet". It doesn't matter if it's 10BaseT, 10Base2, or 10Base5,
it all works the same as far as the software is concerned.

Well, rather than just throwing it in, plug it into a slot.  :-)

The driver for a 10BaseT Ethernet card is the same as a driver for the
10Base2 or 10Base5 cards of the same model. For example, we use a bunch
of WD/SMC8003EP cards here, which can be used with either 10Base2 or 
10Base5. I'm ordering some SMC8003W cards, which can be used with either
10Base5 or 10BaseT. They use the same driver, as would a SMC8013EW, a
16-bit card that supports all three.

You don't seem to realize:

	10BaseT == Ethernet over twisted pair wire;
	10Base2 == Ethernet over thin coax;
	10Base5 == Ethernet over thick coax.

It's all Ethernet. (10Base5 uses the 15-pin D connector, if you've noticed
those on the backs of your existing cards.) And, most cards will come with
the drivers on a floppy.

You can find out a lot more about Ethernet in the comp.dcom.lans.ethernet
newsgroup. There are many knowledgeable people there, including one of the
original authors of the Ethernet spec....

You could use the audit log from the backup as input to a Windows database
such as Gupta SQLWindows, and write a simple (or sophisticated) application
in it to access the list of files.  Incidentally, with SQLBase NLM database
engine you can leave the database up while backing up the File Server.

Organization: MITRE Corporation, McLean VA
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 1992 17:42:37 GMT

We have an HP Laserjet IIIsi, with the Postscript and Ethernet options, and 
have installed it on our Novell LAN.  The printer works very well with the
PCs on the LAN, but we also have MACs on our LAN and can't get the printer
to show up in the right appletalk zone.

Regardless of what appletalk zone name I specify when I set up the ATPS
configuration for the HP, it always appears in the Appletalk zone that 
has the same name as our Novell server (in this case W035_NW).  I have 
called HP and talked to our local Novell support and all seem to agree that
I should be able to specify another zone.  Our Laserwriters on the 
Appletalk fastpath appear in a zone called 4TH_FLOOR and I want the HP
to appear in the same zone (mainly to limit the confusion of the users).

It also appears that sending jobs to the appletalk zone of the Novell server 
makes the HP jobs print slower from the MACs.  When I send a job it takes 
several minutes before it appears at the Laserjet IIIsi, but a job sent to the
Laserwriter prints out almost immediately.

The syntax suggested by HP was 
     -z "4TH_FLOOR" -o "name_of_queue" -wb -f hplaser /l
Others have suggested alternatives, but none have been successful in 
making it appear in the 4TH_FLOOR zone instead of the W035_NW zone.

I would appreciate an suggestions you may have.
