Subject:      RE: Anyone using NetWare Name Service?

Yes, we have been using NNS throughout the Antarctic Program for about 2 years
now.  It has its problems, but nowhere near as big a headache as managing 700
users on 10 servers.  Novell is still shipping v1.0 NNS, but have issued a newer
NETCON.EXE (as NETCON.ZIP on Compuserve/Mirror Sites).

Our Denver network has 220 users on 3 servers and NNS works quite well.
Our McMurdo Station network has ~750 users on 5 servers, but NNS has had
several synch problems, which I suspect to be related to the T-1 bridges (slow)
linking the servers throughout the MAN.  We have just installed fiber backbones
and synch'ed the MAN one last time (we hope).  I feel quite confortable with
the NNS solution until Netware 4.0 is out.  Hope this helps.

  Have you monitored ATPS with the console command:
     ATPSV ON     (pg 205 of Netware Mac manual)

  This will display error messages on the server console when the print
job executes and fails.

  A couple of other things to try in the mean time.  Sometimes the .PRS
files get hosed in your ATPS directory (usually SYS:SYSTEM\ATPS).
Delete them all (DEL *.PRS), turn printers off and on and send job
again.  The .PRS files should be recreated.
  If you are printing with some Aldus products (Ragemaker particularly),
the Aldus prep file doesn't get created properly.  This will show up
with ATPSV ON as an error finding the .PRS file.  In the ATPS
subdirectory, rename the file AL00.PRS or ALD00.PRS to ALD20955.PRS.
Naturally, if you delete all the *.PRS files as above, you will have to
correct this manually each time you delete.

  There are many other problems that can be caused by your
ATPS.CFG file.  Also, versions of software.  If using PSERVER 1.21,
upgrade to V1.22.  Also, there are patches available ATPSFIX1.NLM and
ATPSFIX2.NLM.  FIX1 fixes server crash problem, FIX2 fixes problem with
LaserWriter 7.1 driver.

Subject:      IP Tunnel - timeout problems

We are running a number of Novell 3.11 networks over a campus area network using
IP Tunneling.

We have IP tunnels set up to other servers over the CAN.
We can log to those servers, map drives, run apps, and use syscon and fconsole.
We cannot however, run rconsole.

Our problems is as follows (in addition to the rconsole problem):

The connection to the remote servers times out after 5 to 10 minutes of
inactivity. This hasn't been a problem until lately. We now have an application
which depends on the connection being maintained permanently.

If anyone has any ideas on this, We would sure like to hear them!

Thanks in advance,

You can issue a login /s C:\LOGIN.TXT supervisor and login will read the

  It also got mailed to a number of registered users or

Subject:      Re: Setting up Mail between Netware and MAC's

I've been looking through various lists but can't find the info I'm looking
for. We are going to be connecting several networks together, some netware and
some AppleTalk. What software would I need in order to be able to exchange Mail
between the Netware and the Apple networks. Our local network will be Netware
3.11 with the MAC NLM. The remote networks are mostly all MAC's. I'd like to
get something that will eventually allow me to connect to the Internet. I've
found Pegasus Mail, and Charon, but it sounds like I would need a Unix Mail
server for that to work.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks, Andy.

Since you have Netware 3.11 and the MAC.NLM a very simple solution would be
cc:Mail.  With cc:Mail, your Mac and DOS/Windows/OS2 users can share the same
Post Office on the same LAN.  Your remote Mac Appleshare LAN's can use a cc:Mail
gateway to call the Netware Post Offices.  There is also an SMTP Link program
you can purchase that will translate cc:Mail messages to the SMTP format for
access to the Internet.  All you need for SMTP link is a DOS PC on your LAN and
a mail relay for it to talk to.  You can call 800-448-2500 for more details.

Good luck!

Subject:      Re: Anyone using NetWare Name S

We've been running NetWare Name Services on our corporate LAN since
September.  We have over 500 users on five NetWare 3.11 servers in
the domain.  In the next month we will be adding two remote servers
to the domain attached through T-1 lines.

Our experience with NNS indicates that one must be careful when
performing activities requiring domain synchronization (as mentioned
by Chris Ketchum in an earlier message).  There are other minor bugs
in the software but overall it has made management of a large group
of users distributed over several file servers much easier than if
we didn't have it.

We suspect that the bindery emulation/synchronization features that
will be a part of NetWare 4.0 is actually a cleaned up version of
NNS.  If so, integrating your 3.11 and 2.x servers into a NetWare 4.0
domain structure will probably work well, as long as there aren't
too many of the older version servers and they aren't spread out
over a WAN.

Subject: Maynard let us down, big time!  Ouch!
Date: 23 Dec 92 14:40:30 CST
Organization: University of Kansas Academic Computing Services

Warning to those of you using Maynard MaynStream software!
We were using MaynStream version 3.1 engineering release 0.45.

We found out the hard way that our MaynStream software was not
backing up all of our NetWare v. 3.11 files.  It was getting
about 99% of them and we have no evidence that any of them
were corrupted by backup/restore... it was just missing some
files and in some cases, whole directories.

Maynard has acknowledged that their software had some bugs:

-If the software encountered an illegal directory entry like a
 filename with a space in it the software would interpret that
 as being the end of that directory and the softare would hop
 back up the directory tree and continue on with the backup...
 skipping any files or directories after the illegal entry.

-Also, the software would (in incremental backups) sometimes
 (turned out to be quite common in our case) incorrectly read the
 archive bit on files and would thus skip files that should have
 been backed up.

-Currently they have been unable to explain why all but one of
 our print queue directories failed to be restored (a relatively
 small problem) or why all of our user disk quota information was
 lost (a slightly larger problem).

Since they haven't been able to offer explanations for all of the
irregularities we have found from analyzing all of our backups
I am not even slightly convinced that they have a reliable backup
system.

The current revision of MaynStream version 3.1 is engineering 
release 1.14.  You can see what revision you're running by entering
the TMENU utility, selecting the Configuration option and then
selecting the Notices option (I think I have those option names 
right).

Maynard was very open about acknowledging the software bugs and 
was very prompt in sending us the updated software (at no charge)
but unfortunately that doesn't replace the missing files or the
many hours of lost work.

Maynard says they do not offer software maintenance whereby users
could be notified of software bugs or automatically receive software
updates (indeed the idea seemed alien to the people I spoke with).

Good luck and happy holidays.

Subject:      help needed w/iptunnel

Hello
I am trying to connect a pc on one lan to a file server on a different lan,
with a tcp/ip network in between.  The lan that has the pc, does not have a
novell server.
The basic configuration is as outlined in the tcp/ip transport supervisors
guide page a-10.  The main differences being that we use token ring, and of
course the ip addresses are all different.  The problem is that the
documentation does not suggest how the dos workstation is supposed to be able
to logon to the server.  I can successfully ping the server, so it seems that
the masks, and addresses are set ok. but a login attempt yields the old "file
server not found" message.
At the server we did
load tcpip
bind ip to tokendma addr=146.186.123.2
bind ipx to tokendma net=2

At the workstation:
lsl
token
tcpip
iptunnel
ipxodi
netx


net.cfg:

protocol TCPIP
   bind token
   ip_address
   ip_router
   ip_netmask
link driver token
   frame token_ring-snap
link driver IPTUNNEL
   gateway     255.255.255.255
   gateway     146.186.123.2
   port        213
   checksum    yes

So the question is, what is missing?

Thanks

All other stats. are either 0 or not supported.

Now, what are my worries here ?  Is the EnqueuedSendsCount number
alarming (Please consider the UPTIME of each server) ?  We are running
IPX/SPX as well as TCP/IP (most of it is TCP though)
but should this matter ? (I guess it does)

Do I need to re-boot the server (i.e bring it down) so that the buffers
are cleared or is ther no need for alarm at all ???

Please advice.

Thanx in advance.

Novell's CBT's are an excellent way to get this kind of training.  They are
Windows applications that teach you about Netware, including hands-on
examples and chapter tests.  They are more thorough than the courses I have
taken at NAEC's.  I presently have an employee going through them to get his
CNA, and I will be likely finishing my ECNE this way.  Highly reccomended.

The courses you will most likely be interested in is #505 for Netware 3.11,
and #501 for Netware 2.2

Novell also has VBT's ( Video Based training ), but I haven't any experience
with these.  You can buy CBT's and VBT's from Novell direct, from a Novell
Gold or Platinum Authorized Reseller, or an Novelll Authorized Education Centre.

Please write if you need more information. Good Luck!

I have seen this same problem, it is caused because when you unload
pserver
at the fileserver console, pserver waits for you to press enter before
terminating (but you have to use the alt-esc keys to switch to the
pserver
screen to see this). The appearence is that everything is locked up until

you switch to the pserver screen and press enter and then everything will
be back to normal.

[personally I'd down the server as soon as possible]
