Hello-

Does anyone know what a Novell server routing AppleTalk will do
when it receives a ZIP GetNetInfo request from a remote network?  Will
it route the Reply back to the sender?  For example, a node on network
1000 sends a ZIPGetNetInfo packet addressed to DDP address 255, socket
6 on network 2000 will the router on that net route the reply back to
the sender?

Was there a time when this was not the case?  If so can you tell me in
what version of software this was fixed?

Thanks,

-tony

Do you have Lan-Protect from Intel running?  If you do, and your running
3.10, Your files will be dated from around 1928-1932.  Pretty cool since
the PC wasn't even invented yet.

As I recall, we called Intel about it and got computer vendor reply #6.

Nobody knows the answer to this? Using LN from an NFS mount works fine, but 
I'm surprised there is not a way to do this with FILER or some other Novell 
utility.

It is the server console utility for non-dedicated NetWare 2.x servers.
I have no idea why Novell even included it with NW3.x, let alone put it
in the \LOGIN directory where everyone has to try running it at least
once.--

	I've got a problem that's followed me from Netware 286 2.2 to 386 3.
11. That is whenever I use FILER, go to a directory on the server & try 
the 'Who has rights here' I get the flashing 'Please Wait' sign forever!
I end up having to reboot the machine. 
	Now, using my FILER on another server works ok & using someother 
server's FILER on my server causes the problem again. I've fixed the bindery 
with BINDFIX a couple times with no affect on the problem and otherwise 
there seems to be no indication of disk errors to warrent VREPAIR. Any ideas

I work in an environment with three novell servers. All are connected via

(please don't ask for too many hardware details, I'm a novice to network
setup.)

Anyway, what I was wondering is, does anybody know an easy way to synchronize
the times on all three servers, other than walking around with a wristwatch?

I am aware you can synchronize the times on the workstations with systime, 
but I want to synchronize the servers. One of them has a clock that (for some
reason) drifts badly, and it would be nice to have it sync to one of the
others. 

Thanx muchly,

Subject: Strange problem with Novell NetWare/RPrinter/Enable
Date: 5 Nov 92 19:15:23 GMT
Organization: The Source for Source

Hello all.

We have been using Novell NetWare 3.11 for almost 2 years now with
little or no problem.  One of our favorite features is RPrinter
to allow printer attached to work stations to be print servers too.
Until recently, this has worked flawlessly.  I recently installed
Enable (version 4.5, but it doesn't matter) on the network.  Now,
when one of the RPrinter stations runs Enable and anyone tries to
print to the attached printer from any applications (even NPrint)
the RPrinter station locks up and must be rebooted.  The print job
prints immediately after the system reboots.

When this first occured, I suspected Enable of meddling with the
interrupts in some way (an assertion which has not been disproven),
but, lately, I have discovered that other PCs don't have the problem.

The normal RPrinter station is a 80286 w/1MB RAM and DOS3.3.  I discovered
(quite by accident) that a 80386sx w/2MB RAM wnd DOS5.0 ould work OK.

I have tried the following:

On the 386sx:

Disabled the use of any extra memory, still works fine.

On the 286:

1) Stripped all extra TSR from the system under DOS 3.3
2) Tried DOS5.0

Neither provided any help.

Enable claims their product doesn't use the printer IRQ for any
reason, however, they suggest I disable the use of interrupts 
in RPrinter.  I can't discover how to do this.  Does anyone on
the net have any suggestions?

Please reply by mail.  If you post, the message may be purged
before I get to read it.

Thanks in advance.

Organization: Iowa State University, Ames IA

Do you use a CAPTURE at the workstation to capture the print commands to
LPT1 so they go to the queue?  If so, I found that I had to include the
NT and NFF (No Tabs and No FormFeeds) in the CAPTURE command when printing
graphics.  The reason for this is graphics sends a bunch of bytes, some of
which can be intrepreted as tabs and formfeeds by Novell when they really
aren't.  So it changes what is sent on to the printer and adds either
garbage because the expected bytes are missing and extra tabs and FF's
that your graphics shouldn't have.

On a similar related subject, does anyone know of a way such that a UNIX
user can simulate a netware user with the server being NW on the UNIX host.

(The reason being that I need UNIX users to access CDs off a NW server using
SCSI Express).

Summary: Books, information, hints?
Organization: Calgary UNIX Users' Group

Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1992 16:28:48 GMT


I have a usual novell setup with a pair of servers running Novell 3.11
talking 10baseT to a pair of 48port hubs.

I have a couple of users who want to run IP over the network to talk
with a couple of (until now) stand-alone QNX hosts.

I have never setup an IP network before... Let me tell you what I do
understand by watching this group.

1. Bind IP to the novell drivers and allow forwarding to get everyone on.
   (at the server level)

2. Get ODI drivers from IPX and the LSL, etc stack running.

How does the numbering system work in IP. Are there references on this?
What do I need for packet drivers?  Are there standard ones for Intel
Etherexpress 16s or does ODI make that independant of the actual cards?
My HP Hubs might need tweeking to work with IP too as I recall.

The topology is like this:

Server1 <---- Thinnet --> Server2 <-- Thinnet --> HP Ethertwist Hub+ <-10BaseT
Server1 <---- Thinnet --> Server2 <-- Thinnet --> Ditto <-- 10BaseT --> users

Note:  Dual Thinnet so each Hub is an independant network with each
       hub talking directly to each server.

Thanks folks!

Ian.

P.S. Please send mail to me to reduce the network bandwidth.  I will summarize
     back to the network for others that are interested.

Per NetWare NFS v1.2 there is no direct mechanism for adjusting the outbound 
parameters passed to the UNIX systems LPD server through the LPD control
file mechanism. I must say that permitting "manual" manipulation of
parameters passed to a remote LPD server on a per-printer basis (probably
via some params punched into a configuration file on the server) is a
pretty good idea. At least it is a nice feature for those that understand the
"raw" LPD protocol. I will stick it under the right noses. Thanks....

Organization: Colorado SuperNet, Inc.
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 1992 05:18:26 GMT

We are running a mixed 2.15 and 3.11 environment. Every once in a while I have
stations that get file server not found or unknown file server messages when
trying to attach to a server that is NOT on their ring. An slist shows the
server is there, and observing the consoles on both servers, I see them
"talking" to each other. Rebooting the station sometimes solves the problem,
but most times it doesn't, and we end up downing all of the servers (16 of
them) and rebooting them.

We have looked at recieve packet buffer limits (min and max) and are nowhere
near the max (500), usually it floats at about 35-50 in use (on the 3.11
servers).

The problem usually occurs when the initial attachment is to a 3.11 server
either through a ps= on the netx command, or defaulting to whichever server
isn't busy on the ring. Some rings have only one server, and others have
multiple 2.15 and 3.11 servers on the same ring. 

A small diagram of the network, all LANs are token-ring:

      local     back-bone
      ring        ring
        |          |

  ^         ^           ^
station    3.11        2.15
          server      server

The station has a Proteon 1392 card, the 3.11 server has 2-Proteon
1390 cards and the 2.15 server has a Proteon 1344 card in it.

Any ideas out there??? If you could respond via e-mail, I'd appreciate
it, since I don't get the time to read news as often as I would like to, and
our news server gets news feeds a week after their posted.

To:  Baylor,

	It seems like you have an interesting case here.  From what I've read, I can assume there is not a network admin present at this site, but there could be possibly be a designated person involved?

	It's quite possible that some of the nlm's were actually loaded manually from the colon prompt, as opposed to being in the autoexec ncf file.  This could (or might) explain why you have the missing Smart3886 driver filename.  Of course, we would need to see the autoexec.ncf file, but I'll take your word on it.  

	I suppose anything could happen because it appears that we are dealing with a un-secure file server.  I might suggest the following:

1)	Design the autoexec.ncf (and startup.ncf) as you would like it 	to be or that it should be.

2)	Make sure all files (drivers and what not) are located in the 	right sub-directory ie., the Smart386.

3)	Re-boot the server and make sure all nlm's are loaded ie., 	appletalk, afp and atps for the mac side.

4)	Change the password and lock the file server console.  

5)	You might want to check userid's and see if any of them are set 	to 'supervisor' equivilency and so forth.

Anyway, that's where I'd start.  B-T-W, have you contacted the people who installed this prior to your involvement in this?  It's quite possible things could of been changed between then and now.


Good Luck.  If you have any other questions, don't hesitate in posting it or emailing me directly at rmaratas@db.novell.com.

Could be. We do have many thousands of customers using the print gateway
quite succesfully but situations like yours do sometimes occur. If they
didn't, I guess we wouldn't need a support department. They'll look after

So, how's the rest of the product holding up? Done any NFS serving yet?
Bit of Xconsole'ing perhaps? :-)
