Hello,

is it possible to use a dedicated printserver (PSERVER.EXE) in
conjunction with Advanced Netware 2.15 (Rev. 0, to be precise) ?

Maybe indirectly, if we define the printserver on another fileserver
running NetWare 3.11, and make the 2.15 server the one to be serviced?
How would we tell this NW 2.15 ?

The "name space" supports all files on the volume (i.e., it maintains MAC
and DOS names for all of them), that's why the formula includes total
volume size.

I have upload yet another version of the Accounting Print Server to
splicer.cba.hawaii.edu, in the file files/novell/util/pserv_n.zip

This one isn't optimised by Borland (The optimiser kills it :( ), and
fixes a problem it had when the active job was deleted from the queue (It
would sit and spew garbage out the printer ports :(  )

Version # is still 2.61, and its still shareware. The version on splicer has a
nag screen, and only does 1 printer. Apart from that its the full McCoy. Many
thanks to thos who have registered, you should have your updated version
arrived through email by now.

Subject:      NetWare and PC LAN connectivity

   A client of ours has asked if we can find a way to let them
simultaneously log onto a NetWare server and PC LAN server.  We
tried loading LSL, TOKEN, IPXODI and NETBIOS and then running
the PC LAN software on top of Novell's NETBIOS but it would not
work (the machine just sat there, clicking every few seconds).

   Does anyone know how to do this?  We'd prefer it to use ODI,
but if that won't work, they'd like to know about any other
solutions.

Yes, I have seen it too.  WHen I was writing my QView utility, I found the 
problem, and I believe I understand what causes it.  When the QMS queues a 
job, it keeps a record that includes the file name, destination queue and 
server, and the *connection* that placed the job.  anyway, to get the username
of the job owner, you need to get the user name of the station that placed
the job.  when you logout and login as someone else (on the same connection)
then pconsole and qview query the connection and get your username and not   
that of the person who placed the job.

the banner name is stored in the client record area, and so it stays the 
same after you log out.  

If no banner name is specified, then pconsole and qview will substitute the
user name, which is obtained by looking at the connection number that 
placed the job.

Hope this helps shed some free(non$$$) light on the problem

Date: 8 Apr 92 04:08:00 GMT
Article-I.D.: acsu.1992Apr8.032314.21940
Organization: UB


  Hi,
    I'm hoping someon can help me understand what has happened to my
     Programs I've written in Foxpro.  They were developed and tested
   Under FoxproLn 1.2 and run without error.  However when I install them
     On the network, bad things begine to happen.

   1) When the user tries to retrieve a record he is first prompted
      for the records unique key (in this case its a combination of the date
      and employee number).  This key is then used as the target key when
      the database is searched.  For example,

	@ 2,2 Get mDate
        @ 3,2 Get mEmployee
        Read
        TargetKey = DToC(mDate)+mEmployee
        Select Workfile Index Date_Emp
        Seek TargetKey
        If Found()
            Do DisplayRec
            Do EditRec
        Else  
            Do AddRec
        EndIF

      SO the database is searched, if a record with the same key is located
      then the record is displayed and the user is allowed to edit it.
      If a correspoonding record is not found,  the system will assume that
      it is a new record and proceed accordingly.  

      The problem arises with the fact that the system doesnt always find
      the record, even when it is there. (I have BROWSEd the file and have
      seen the record there).  This problem mysteriously disappears when
      I take it off the Netware Lan.

2)  Another problem that has caused some grief since it was installed on the 
     network is that garbage has somehow gotten into the database  (GASP!)
     I Deleted and packed the databse removing those records which were
       destroyed.  I have since removed the application for the network
     and all is fine, but this is only a short term patch.

As you may be able to tell, this is my firfst netowrk application I have 
written, and any explaination of why this is happening and how to fix it
would be GREATLY appreciated.

If this is posted in the wrong area, my appoligies, I figured since the 
problem arose only when iunstalled on a Netware Lan, I figured this might be
a good place to start.  

Thank You.

this is a 3rd try to send this message.

can anyone recommend a brand of switchable 4/16 token ring boards.  we
are implementing a lan in 2 phases due to budget restrictions.
phase i - install 20 nodes using existing utp low low grade wiring.
phase ii - install additional 75 nodes and upgrade existing utp wiring.

if you have had good experiences with switchable tr cards, i would appreciate
brand recommendations, and ballpark educational prices (if you know it).
my main concern is the ability to manipulate interrupts and i/o address space
to avoid conflicts.  most of our initial nodes are ps/2 50's.

you can respond directly to me, and i'll summarize for the net.
thanks.
*** JSB:
         We like the IBM cards, because they are basically
         "plug-and-play".  We haven't experienced any interrupt
         problems in the microchannel machines 'cause they figure
         it out themselves.  We also haven't had any interrupt
         problems in the AT bus cards either, for that matter.

         We are beginning to test out the DCA cards; they seem to
         be ok, but it's too early to say.  The only reason we are
         beginning to use the DCA cards is because the IBM cards
         are so hard to get (fast).

         Please note that we only use the STP wiring.  I don't
         know about the UTP.

 Hello,

For some new 10BaseT runs we are planning, our purchasing dept. inadvertantly
purchased shielded twisted pair instead of unshielded twisted pair.  Does
anyone have comments on running 10BaseT over STP instead of UTP?  I have heard
different comments from different people, as to how well (if at all) this will
work.  Obviously, I don't want to intentionally run problematic cable, but
since we have the cable, I pose the question...

No way. IPX doesn't echo any packets not even acknowledgments (!) Its the SPX

Greetings,

I am having trouble getting an HP 7475A plotter to work on a 3.11 network. I 
have tried hanging the plotter off of the server using the PSERVER.NLM as 
well as using a dedicated printer with PSERVER.EXE.

The job seems to start Ok for the first few seconds but then degenerates

The dip switches on the plotter seem to be correct since the plotter WILL 
work fine when connected directly to a PC.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank-you

X-To:         NOVELL%SUVM.BITNET@nervm.nerdc.ufl.edu

I'm using a Gateway 486/33 EISA machine as a file server (Novell
3.11).  It serves an Ethernet (30 nodes) and two 16MB Token Rings
(75 and 40 nodes) -- typically about 50 active connections at any
time.

I'm currently using a NE2000 card -- an NE32000 is on backorder.
There have been several "NE32000 horror stories" on the list lately,
so my vendor has promised to swap it for another board (probably
Mylex or HP) if any problems occur.

I'm using two Madge EISA Token Ring adapters -- they're GREAT!

Currently using a Procomp MDCB SCSI adapter -- a Procomp EISA card is
on order (should be here in 2 weeks).  I use Procomp DCBs in my ISA
servers -- using it in the EISA will allow me to swap the drives into
an ISA box to minimize downtime if I experience a failure on the EISA
box.

To wrap it up, I've bought a number of machines from Gateway in the
last 18 months.  I'm satisfied with their quality (good components!),
have had no compatability problems with the machines, and have had NO
hardware failures at all.  One of my users recently called their tech
support line and got to a tech within "about 30 seconds".

Besides, there's a 30 day money-back guarantee.

Best luck,

Organization: Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minnesota

We're having a problem getting a printer attached to a Netware 3.11 fileserver
to print.  The printer (an HP Deskjet PLUS) is attached to the fileserver's
only Parallel Port. I can print to it from DOS on the server before bringing up
Netware.  It accepts print jobs to LPT1 just fine..... then after bringing up
Netware I've gone through all the actions of creating a PRINT QUEUE, PRINT
SERVER, defining the Printer, and assigning the Queue to the Printer.  I then
run the PSERVER.NLM and get the following Error:

	DESCRIPTION
		Printer port requested by printer 0, "printername", is already
		in use.  Printer not initialized.

The Printserver screen comes up and sure enough - Printer 0 is not accessable.

Novell's SYSTEM MESSAGES manual claims that this error means that another
printer is using the port requested by the specified printer, and suggests I
run PCONSOLE and change the port in the printer's configuration file.  I have
done that numerous times - trying a variety of port options - to no avail....
I would expect that choosing LPT1: when defining the printer would be the
correct response for a printer hung off the fileserver itself.

Is there something special that I am missing in the process?  I don't want to
hang the printer directly off the Ethernet in this installation - I just want
to be able to print to the printer attatched to the server.

Any reasonable suggestion will be tried - any suggestion that fixes this
problem will make me extatic!!

Mark,
   I've been in this spot once or twice.  Solution: boot up on a machine
which uses said boot image.  Press ctrl-break *before* the boot image's
AUTOEXEC.BAT runs your NETx (x=3/4/5/X) shell.  You'll find the virtual A:
drive is accessible, and the physical A: drive does not respond.  At
this point you can copy the necessary files to the PCs B: (or higher)
drive.  If you have a one-floppy system (and no HD), copy the file(s)
to B: and the physical A: drive will kick in appropriately.

Macintosh Access without NetWare for Macintosh

NetMounter is an innovative solution for allowing
Macintosh users access to NetWare file servers
without having to purchase and install NetWare for
Macintosh VAPUs or NLMUs. NetMounter is compatible
with NetWare versions 2.15 rev C, 2.2 and 3.11.

NetMounter is installed on each Macintosh
workstation, not on the NetWare file server.
Access and login procedures for NetMounter are
done through the Chooser. The NetWare volumes
are mounted on the desktop and the files and
directories on the NetWare volume are
displayed to the Macintosh users as documents
and folders. Once mounted the user can share files
with any user on the network.

NetMounter allows the Macintosh user to mount
both AppleShare and NetWare servers at the same
time and to access each readily. All AppleShare
printing and file services remain available to
the Macintosh user. NetMounter is compatible
with the Macintoshes built-in LocalTalk driver
and Ethernet drivers from the various Ethernet
card manufactures. Token Ring compatibility is
planned for a future release.

Pricing:
Single User         $99
Five User            $399
Ten User             $599
