Subject:      Re: Any good one line Novell us

At one time, Novell had some CBT courses for Novell Networks.  There were
two levels, one for users and one for administrators.  They were pretty
good.  The information was good and it asked questions but the interface
was about the same as the management utilities (syscon, ...).  I do not
know if they are still available and what the price is.

hello

-Primary Server is the one which you logged into first(then attached to others).

-Default server is server to which your current directory is pointing to.

-Preferred server is the one specified is the CFG file unless it is overriden
 by NETX /PS=XX in the command line.

I don't know about the G/Async Modem Pool, but Novell will soon have a 2 way
modem server. Their ACS (Async. Comm. Server) is currently an NLM that allows
for dail-out. There is a BETA version of the NAS (Netware Access Server) that
is due to be released around February. This new version will be an NLM (YES,
virtual DOS sessions on the server) and will be able to share ports with the
ACS. Thus, giving a 2 way modem server.

Dear Members,

Due to an unfortunate attempt to change our server's name, the system
crashed (SFT Netware 2.15) and since then we cannot boot the server.
Even worse, one volume was not backed up (I know, it's shame on me). Is
it possible to regain the lost data somehow?

When re-running NETGEN, at the end of the installation we get the error
message "attemp to configure a non-operating drive. Repair or remove from system

In addition, in NETGEN, instead of our SYS,VOL1,VOL2 volumes, only the
SYS and VOL3 (why ???) appeared.
Could anyone help or suggest something what we can do /besides
reinitializing the hard disk/?

Any comment is highly appreciated!

Thanks a lot: Zoltan

Phill,

If you load you CD with "load CDMKFS -y CDVOLUME" you specify the volume
name of the CD as CDVOLUME (or whatever) for every CD that you mount, which
would mean that the command:

Map x:=server/cdvolume:

would work for every CD you mount.

          This got bounced back.  Sorry if it's a repost. - Rick

          On question #1: make sure you have the printer configured
          for the proper LPT port.  If you set it for LPT2 and the
          printer is attached to LPT1, you can get these results.
          Other than that, our remote boot rprinters work fine.  Also,
          why work about loading capture high?  It is NOT a TSR and
          will be gone when it finishes executing.  The shell is what
          redirects your printers and drives; not capture and map.

QUESTIONS.  I'LL GIVE ALL THE FACTS AND THEN THE PUNCH LINE.

Q1:  IBM PRO PRINTER PROBLEMS (Say that fast 4 times)

FACTS:
OUR SERVER IS A 486DX 50mhz'ER WITH 8MB OF RAM.  WE USE RG58 COAX CABLE
AND WE ARE RUNNING NE2000 ON OUR CARDS.  THIS PARTICULAR WORKSTATION IS A
386SX 16mhz WITH 1.5 MB OF RAM AND BOOTS FROM A BOOT ROM CHIP.  I AM LOADING
RPRINTER AND SETTING UP AN IBM PROPRINTER TO SERVICE MY QUE.  THE PRINTER
WILL RECEIVE DATA BUT WILL PRINT AT 1 LETTER PER EVERY THIRTY SECONDS IF
THE PRINT REQUEST COMES FROM ANOTHER WORKSTATION.  IF THE REQUEST COMES FROM
THE WORKSTATION WHERE THE PRINTER IS CONNECTED, THE PRINT SPEED IS NORMAL.
I HAVE OTHER PRINTERS (OKIDATA'S) THAT PRINT FINE UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS.

**** WHY DOES MY PRINTER RESPOND SLOWLY TO REMOTE REQUEST???

IMHO, a UPS is a requirement for Novell file servers.  They are
far cheaper than the (often-required) Herculean effort required to patch
things together after a power failure.  We have used Emerson
and other products with success.  Most UPS vendors offer
Novell-compatible interface kits that either interface with the
Novell-supplied NLM or come with their own.  Most interface with
either a special monitor board, or through a serial or mouse
port.

        I remember reading on the list about updating a 5-user license

        to regen the server again.

        What I'm trying to do is install a new license/serial # over an
        existing 3.11 server.   Both are 100-user copies.  (The reason I
        have to do this is that one department paid for the original
        package and wanted it back.  My department decided to buy another
        package and install the correct serial #.)

 and the file will be send to you, it is aproximately 4 kilobyte uuencoded.
 that's it.

 i hope all the people who asked me to send the program to them are happy

        As has been mentioned several times recently on the list, the
differences between NW 3.11 at different user levels is all in one file:
server.exe. That's the file one boots from DOS level. Change that and
your user level changes and the serial number changes too. The other
files are the same on all user levels 250 and smaller. Thus there is no
need to modify material on the NetWare partition.

Which Mail-System do you run ? If you run pmail, you could
use a charon gateway - assumed you route ipx between the nets.
If not - hm... - a pair of mhs machines would probably do it -
but that's security overkill IMHO.

***** NOTES from Brett Warthen (BRETT @ INFINITE) at 12/18/92 2:44 PM
I don't do FTP...I get the files from CompuServe.  It's my understanding
that there should be a directory called "NOVFILES" on the FTP server that
contains 311PTB.ZIP.

311PTB.ZIP was a minor update to 311PTA.ZIP, which simply removed the
RPLENFX.NLM file, which caused abends with PBURST v2.0.  Anyone planning on
loading the new PBURST should make sure they are not running the RPLENFX
patch!

311PTA.ZIP did contain a number of updates over 311PT9.ZIP though:

EAERRFIX:  Fix for another extended attributes problem.

INDSKFIX:  Fixes an abend "The sleeping process was prematurely awakened
during Delay."  (Which brings up the point of who writes these error
messages anyway. <g>)

MPRPSFIX:  Allows maximum physical receive packet size to be set up to
24,682.

OBPRGFIX:  Fixes for "A string with too long a length was passed to the
output formatter" abend.  (Again, like we should care...ever wondered why
NetWare should abend because of something like this...just truncate the
string and keep going...maybe issue a warning...but an abend?!?!?)

RENFIX:  Fix to make the DOS Rename command work like it does in DOS.

Plus updated versions of previously released patches:

SPXFIX1:  Doesn't mention why it was updated.

SYNCTIME:  Apparently abended NetWare 1000-user versions, so they updated
it so it would refuse to load on that version.

XMDFIX:  Doesn't mention why it was updated.  Maybe because the old version
seemed to cause RCONSOLE problems...I don't know, we just see a number of
messages on NetWire/CompuServe where folks are having problems where
RCONSOLE stops working after awhile, and so far, the only thing all of
these people have had in common is that they were running this patch.

Subject:      Volume out of space message

Anyone out there know how to disable system broadcast messages to all
users when a volume runs out of disk space? I have set 'volume low warn
all users ' to off to rid ourselves of that message, but have not found
a way to get rid of the out of space message.

The volume is set aside for our MAC users to share graphics files
temporarily. Unfortunately, they fill it up quite often and then go back
and delete their old files after everyone on the network has received the
message. Some users have processes running on their systems that get
interupted until the user returns to do the 'cntl enter'

By the way, this is 3.11 with the MAC nlm 3.01. We do use messaging for
other purposes so using castoff is not an option.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I had this on some pc's that were upgraded from a 286 to a 386 using a new
motherboard. After some investigation I found that the mothergoard was not
enabling the A20 gate. After enabling all was well.
