Can't get my Cabletron E1010 ethernet card to work in an IBM XT.  I'm using
Pathworks 4.1 client and server.  It seems to boot fine but then gives
"Network Name not Found" error when trying to connect to PCSAV41.
 
Yes I have the XT bus card, 10BaseT adapter and DNI version 1.12 software.
Other computers with same card and cable work good.
 
I would like some novice pointers on making this card work with Pathworks.
 
Thanks!

     HOWDY!
 
     I have two separate problems with PS cartridges for
     Laserjet printers:
 
     1.)  I have an Adobe PS cartridge in a Laserjet Series II
     printer.  This cartridge will toggle between PCL mode and
     PS mode.  I want to set up two queues.  One queue would
     print postscript to the printer with no toggling.  The
     other would a) toggle the printer to PCL b) print the file
     c) toggle back to postscript mode.  Has anybody done
     anything like this?
 
     2.)  I have a Hewlett Packard PS cartridge in a Laserjet
     III.  This cartridge will not toggle between PCL mode and
     PS mode.  I would like to find a symbiont and/or a device
     library which will convert text documents to PS and print
     them to the printer.
 
     Any help will be much appreciated!

	I have run SETUP from both DOS and from within
	WIN3.1.  It shows that I have selected "DEC
	PATHWORKS (Version 4.1 or higher)"

	I do not see a place where I can select "Windows
	Network Drivers for PATHWORKS," as you suggest.

	I understand that SPRs are the only official way to
	escalate problems, but I do not have a service

	purchased PATHWORKS.  I do not know what the proper

Organization: MIND LINK! - British Columbia, Canada

A Windows login? If more than one person uses the PC (i.e. Windows can't do it
for you), you might do what I did, and create a program to do it. It saved
configuration information in its own .ini file, like this:

[general]
server=myvax
user=laura

[g:]
service=pccommon
public=yes
disk=no

[lpt1:]
service=laserwriter
disk=no

...you get the idea. I wrote the program with Visual Basic, and used
Get/WritePrivateProfileString to dissect the configuration file. Rather than
talk to the network drivers directly (I didn't have uselib and friends handy),
I used the information to construct a command line and ran the results as a
background process. The pif for use.exe nailed the program down as hard as
possible (lock application memory, exclusive execution), and the VB program did
things to make sure that only one copy of use.exe ran at once. It worked well
in 386 Enhanced mode (run use.exe as an icon!), but in Standard mode the PC
looked like it was having convulsions.

Hello friends in pathworks network land,


1.
*********
I'm interested in a utility for the PC which will let me view the status
of current TCP/IP connections.  In general I want to view on the PC the type 
of things that the "$multinet show" does on the VAX.  I'm running 
pathworks 4.0 and Pathworks for dos(TCP/IP transport) on the PC;  
VMS 5.5/Multinet on the VAX; 
and doing interprocess socket calls between the two.


2. 
********
What are the NETBIOS connections that pathworks seems to make?  I'm connecting
to a common disk service on the vax from the PC and see (NETBIOS) connections
made using MULTINET SHOW on the VAX?  These connections dont seem to go away
when I reboot the PC. It just creates a new one and the old one stays around
for a number of hours.  I wonder what those connections are and what is the
role of netbios in all this?



3.
********
I'm having difficulity with some of the socket calls.  When I close a 
server socket (that was created with socket,bind,listen,accept) and then
try to bind again (after a socket call) to that same address, I get a bind 
error (errno=EADDRINUSE).  Then I try again and it works.  Looks like something
is not getting freeded up with the close call.  I have tried waiting a long
time (several hours) and still get the error so it's not just being run down.
This happens even if no connections were made over that server socket.

Any ideas?  Is there a better newsgroup for this question?



Thanks in advance.  
Ron

Subject: Network name not found?
Summary: One PC no longer connects to network
Date: 19 Aug 92 17:39:07 GMT
Organization: Extended Bulletin Board Service


The Problem: one PC decided to stop working with Pathworks.
It was working one day, I'm told (I was on vacation) and not the
next.

The Symptom: the PC is unable to find and connect to PCSAV41 common
file service, or any other file service for that matter.  The 
specific message is:

Now attempting connection to the system file service \\TRLN\PCSAV41
Error: Network name not found

and it retries, fails, and aborts the network startup.

The Causes: dunno.  No software was installed or reconfigured on the
PC, no hardware was changed, no changes made to Pathworks.  Far as
we can tell, the machine has just decided it doesn't want to be on 
a LAN any more.

The Configuration:
PC: Zenith 386SX, 4 meg memory, MSDOS 5.0, Windows 3.0, Pathworks
for DOS (TCP/IP) 1.1a, DOS loaded high, EMM386 installed for UMBs
VAX: VMS 5.4-3, UCX 1.3, Pathworks 4.0
None of the configuration has changed in months, and the other PCs
all seem to still be happy with it.

Any suggestions?

yes it's called X11r3,r4,r5 source. it and your fav c compiler will get get

I know DEC sells the Pathworks Netware Coexistence product. But as I
understand, this one uses NDIS which needs a lot of memory. I would
prefer an IPX driver on top of the packet driver on top of the Pathworks
DLL since it will be used only for a single application not used very
frequently. It would enable us to unload both the packet driver and
the IPX driver after the application is finished.
 
I know the Packet driver on top of DLL does exist. What about IPX?
 
Any other suggestions? Is there *any* public domain IPX?
 
Thanks in advance!

I installed v1.1 on the vms server a couple of months before the v1.1 client.
You are correct that the aus save sets are the client s/w. You install them
on vms with vmsinstal and it just makes a file service in a directory which
you can upgrade your clients from via the chooser.

        Hi Everyone.
 
        We have a small Pathworks network with machines running DOS 5.0 and
        Microsoft Windows v3.1.  I ran Netsetup, and configured the machine
        just like all of our others, and setup windows with the SETUP/N
        command.  I then ran the WIN3SETU utility that sets up the machine
        for pathworks users.  Everything works fine, until I try to set up
        the VT320 emulator to connect to our network service over LAT.
 
        On all of our others machines, the program would come back and
        prompt me to choose the server to which I wanted to log onto.  On
        this particular machine, the arrow turns to an hourglass and just
        hangs.  Eventually, windows will come back and inform me of a network
        error on the drive that the program resides on.
 
        This PC is an older machine, and has an older DEPCA card on it, but
        we have several other identical machines that I've successfully
        installed pathworks/windows on.  I've tried re-installing both to
        this PC, but to no avail.  I can use the DOS program SETHOST to log
        onto the VAX, and everything works great.
 
        Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can check to see if I can
        get the windows 320 emulator to run properly?  Any suggestions would
        be appreciated.
 
        Thanks

The Client instalation guide has a section on setting up PC's to
REMOTE BOOT. The first step is to ensure that the remote boot jumper is 
removed on the ETHERWORKS cards. Then note the address and (that is the 08-00-2b-XX-XX-XX address) go to a working PC and run NETSETUP .There is an option there for adding REMOTE boor nodes for other work stations. Note you must also first have installed an operating system with DOSLOAD.

Thats all there is to it. Sorry I can't give you more exact deatails. I loose my account in a few seconds.
