Subject: Help - Screen Garbage
Organization: University of Notre Dame
Date: Thu, 19 Nov 1992 15:28:55 GMT

Help....  I am looking for any possible assistance.

We have some PC's that are running a software product called Reflection, Hewlett-Packard
emulation software, that are getting garbage characters on the screen.  The facts concerning
the PC's and their configuration follow;

1. All of the PC's are connected to the Hewlett-Packard 3000 via a serial port, either Com1
or Com2. (the PC's are both Zenith 386sx's and DTK's each running at least 4MB ram)
2.  The pc's are also connected to a Novell 3.11 LAN and to the campus's backbone network
via ethernet.  We are running Clarkson Packet drivers to connect to the Novell server and
still have connectivity to IP software that we are also using. (ethernet cards are both Western
Digtial and 3Com)
3.  The Hewlett-Packard is the Model 3000, 980/100, running the 3.0 operating
environment. (Please bear with me as I am not an expert when it comes to the HP3000.)
4.  When we experience the garbage on these PC's the users can disconnect the network card
and the garbage goes away.

One of our staff thinks that the problem is related to the IRQ's of the Serial Prot and the
ethernet card.  He feels that since the network card is at IRQ 5 and the com port is at IRQ 3
that the network card is somehow invading into the com port and causing the garbage.

What makes the problem even worse is that it doesn't occur all of the time it is very
intermittent.

Any suggestions?????  Post or send directly to me.

Hi,

As far as hubs are concerned, check out CableTron or Synoptics or even Farallon

Well, kind'a.  Novell still only support IPX/SPX as the underlying protocol.
However, with NetWare 3.11, you can package the IPX/SPX packet in a TCP/IP
packet.  They (Novell) call this IP Tunneling.  You still need both IPX/SPX
and TCP/IP loaded on the workstation in order to communicate.  You gain: a
single protocol over the LAN/WAN.  You lose: performance (20-50%), memory
on the workstation (due to TSR overhead), and money (although if you need 
TCP/IP anyway, you're already losing the money and memory).  You also
lose: dynamic RIP updates enterprise wide, since the IP Tunnel requires
static 1-hop routes to be defined (all others do get propogated via RIP).
It means planning the network is a little more involved, and depending
on the design a server outage can break the IPTunnel network.

From what the press has said, Novell is sticking with IPX/SPX.  The benefits
to using IPTUNNEL is that all your WAN routers need only understand IP (which
is a more public protocol, and therefore more consistently routed with 
non-Novell routers).

Since it's kind'a supported, it's your call.  I would say that unless your
WAN routers don't like IPX/SPX, you should probably use both protocols because
of the performance hit.

I do!  So I did.

You're welcome, Ernst.  Hope this helps.

Subject: Netware NFS question
Originator: slb@heidi.acc.Virginia.EDU
Organization: University of Virginia
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 1992 23:39:56 GMT



We are running Netware NFS v1.2 on a 3.11 server and
are experiencing some odd problems.  First, I should
say that this is no ordinary server.  It has appoximately
eight thousand user accounts, and each user has a 
directory containing five to ten files.  This server
sees a pretty large and constant load.   There are 
frequently a hundred or more simultaneous users. The sys
volume containing all these accounts is a nearly full 1G 
volume with an NFS namespace.  We mount the user subtree 
from this volume onto a Sparc 2 running SunOS 4.1.3.  
On the Unix side, we get very inconsistent results from 
stat system calls and ls's.  If a directory is listed 
twice within the space of a few seconds, the permissions 
and owners of files are likely to be different from one ls
to the second.  A stat on a file may return an error
for non-existance and then return a good return code
for the same file even though there is NO chance that
the file changed status.  This occurs most often when
listing very large directories (there are some directories
on this server with thousands of subdirectories), but it
also happens on small directories when the server is
heavily loadedWe were counting heavily 
on using this product, and are loathe to give up on
it.  Has anyone else seen similar things with this
product?  Is anyone else working it as hard as we
are trying to?  Does anyone have suggestions for things
we can change about in the export or mount parameters
(it is currently mounted rw,hard,intr,bg,timeo=y,
retrans=6,rsize=8192,wsize=8192)?  Thanks in advance
for any help you can offer.

Buried someplace in the PageMaker manuals, Aldus states that PageMaker
has trouble printing to certain spoolers when you use the Aldus printer
drivers AND have background spooling turned on in chooser.

Soooooo, there are a couple ways around this.  One, if you hold down the
option key (I think) when selecting print, PageMaker will use the Apple
print drivers.  I do not know of a way of making PageMaker always use
the Apple drivers, except maybe using resedit.  Two, turn off background
printing.  Using a spooler makes this option not hurt so much.

I have tried both the above methods casually, and they both worked fine
in my simple tests.

The PM docs list reasons to use/not use the Aldus drivers, but there isn't
much of a reason, IMHO.

Do you have set immediate purge of all deleted files=on on your server?
If so then you will not be able to recover deleted files. Or maybe
somebody had purged /all on that volume already. Look at CHKVOL to see 
if there is any space being occupied by deleted files. ANyway the
directory will recreate itself if it needs to store deleted files.

Yes, this is an important consideration, just as it is for safes and
locked doors.  I doubt many people would buy a safe that had a
"hidden" way to open the safe without the combination, though, and i
don't think many people buying NetWare would want similar features in
NetWare.  (Although i suppose we should ask safe owners or NetWare
administrators that have had to break in about that...)

Yes, this is a really good point, and i'm sorry my post sort of
sounded like a locked room wasn't still a good idea.  When i said i
"wasn't worried" about security once it had gotten to the physical
stage, i was thinking as a Novell developer: given that hardware
products can be purchased which, when properly installed, will load
NetWare without any opportunity for unauthorized control, then there's
nothing else NetWare can do on that front.  That doesn't mean physical
security isn't useful and important, although it's important to
keep in mind that no security is absolute.

You need to use the magic of Netware print servers that service

I thank the people anwerering my question how to control the (well-working)

I have been told, that some calls under the chapter 'fileServer-Services' will  
be available in NetWare 4.0 and are *NOT* supported yet in the API.
Another information: The semaphore support has been moved to the 'Network  
Management platforms'. 

However, this situation is not satisfactory to a develloper, cause it is  
possible to work with semaphores, but not to control them outside the running  
(or hanging - this may be the problem) application.

My network uses RIP to broadcast routing information.  The router,
however, likes to broadcast RIP to 255.255.255.255 instead of the
subnet broadcast addresses of 149.174.{1,2,3}.255.  Also, if I'm not
mistaken, the broadcast comes from the primary IP address of
149.174.1.1.  By the way, the router does broadcast a proper default
route of 0.0.0.0 so others can get to the outside world.

From memory, here's the pertenent info from my autoexec.ncf:

load TCPIP forward=yes
bind ip to interface0 addr=149.174.3.2 mask=255.255.255.0
   bcast=149.174.3.255
bind ip to interface1 addr=149.174.4.1 mask=255.255.255.0
   bcast=149.174.4.255

With this configuration, the RIP packet that does make it over to
network 149.174.4 only contains 1 route -- the route to network
149.174.3.

My questions:

1.  Is it possible for the RIP information to propagate back to the
149.174.4 network, or do I have to install routes via IPCONFIG?

2.  Is there any way to teach TCPIP.NLM how to read the RIP broadcast
going to 255.255.255.255 without breaking anything?

3.  I noticed that there is a 'gate=' parameter on the bind command.
Does this install a default route (0.0.0.0)?  If so, which interface
does it belong on?  I didn't fully understand the description and use
as presented in The Manual.

4.  Is there anything else that I may have overlooked?

Thanks!
