h! Serial numbers conflicts, that old problem of copyright violation.
You get this when you only buy 1 copy of software and make dual use of it.
In other words, buying 1 copy of Software allows you to load it on 1 machine
not as many as you want. If you want to have NetWare run on two machines you 
buy two copys of the software.  There is serialization code in NetWare to
ensure people do this, otherwise how could Software companies make any money
if people just brought 1 copy, and then made and used as many copies and
on as many machines as then want.

This principle applies to Windows V3.1, DOS, WordPerfect, OS/2, Lotus, Borland
etc.

In days of old they used to play tricks with install software, aka old Lotus
when it first was introduced, but not most software companies rely on the good
faith of the purchaser.

I am trying to plan a good solution with Novell lan
software.

Here in Norway it is rumers that tell we should get
free upgrade to 4.0 but the offer I get now was from
3.11 to 3.2 so what are comming up next? Bout or?

Well, I have a problem, I am testing now with a 20
user, but I plan to bay a 100 user since we need
about 80 DOS workplaces. But I like to use two
servers where I use ca. 30 one one side and ca. 50
on the oter side of a HP router (routing ipx and
tcp/ip) for "secutity" reason and workload.

I have two EISA 486 servers with 1.5 GB SCSI planed
on each side. 

1. I test with two servers on the same net an get
serial number conflict on the servers. I "can" do it
when I using two net. But I like to use 100 users on
two servers without baying a two 100 user.
 
Q1: Is there any "legal" way to do it, we  will not go
over 100 users in over five years.

Q2: Will later version of Novell verry soon help me with
this problem?  

Thanks!

I had another look through the FAQ, and question 6 says that

	ftp.is.sandy.novell.com:~/novlib

contains a structure similar to CompuServe.

I looked in the 01, 05 and 06 directories but couldn't find a file that
looked likely.

I downloaded 01/forum.zip and scanned that for "shell" but drew a blank
there too.

So could some kind soul please tell me which file I need to download to
get hold of the NWShell NLM.

Not via IPX/NCP.  However, using certain TCP/IP products, such as Novell's

Would the UnixWare box be able to see the UNIX name-space associated

to using DOS 8.3 file names on that volume?

Has anyone had trouble with a NIC/BNETX combination.  I converted over
a small dept to the shell and have had trouble with hard transmit
errors on the NIC in the server. And when that happens all connections
to the server are lost, only a down/reset fixes it.  This dept was also
our test dept for running windows off the net.  The problems occured
most often when loading windows and large data files. 
The NIC is an ACCTON Etherpair-16. No troubles on the workstations,
just the server.  Have just replaced NIC w/3COM 3C503 and currently
testing.
Particulars - 486/33, 3.11, 30 users over 4 starred conc.
Also, the CNE at Austin Computer Systems (he's also helping me out with
this problem) suggested the the 486's 64k memory cache may be causing
this and has had me disable it.  Apparently the cache's have been
causing some wierd problems. I would like to enable it. Hell I paid for
it! Any feedback.....

Our Maynard Maynstream 1/4" drive backups and restores Mac files 
individually and correctly with our 3.11 server. However, if I bought one 
now, I would probably go with the 8mm or DAT Maynard products for their 
larger capacity and faster restore speed.

Hi !,
I have a basic question regarding NCP. Does NCP use SPX ? If it doesnt
why do you need SPX/IPX ? When I read the IPX router documentation it said
that NCP is a special packet to be routed. Then where are the IPX/SPX
packets used by the workstation ? Am I not noticing something ?

Hi,

This is a known problem and has been resident for quite some time.  Unfortunate-
ly, the only workaround at this point is to view the file/folder names from
the Macintosh's FINDER.  Note that nothing is damaged, and you still get
accurate path/size/location information for ALL files/folders on the volume.  

You might consider putting all of your Macintosh files/folders on one volume, or
at least in one isolated area in your volume's directory structure.  That way,
you can still use NDIR and FILER to see the directories (they might appear to 
be truncated, or otherwise mangled) but you will get accurate statistics concern
ing the entities (and that really is the important thing here).  Then when you
are ready to view/manipulate/rename/move folders/files, just do that from
the Macintosh.  You will find the Macintosh's OS (FINDER) is much easier to work
with when it comes to moving/manipulating volume's directory structures.

Think Peace...

While watching the net traffic produced by our two NW3.11 servers,
I saw that both of them offer a service with code 0x107 via SAP.

As this service code is not mentioned in the IPX router specification,
I wondered wether anyone could tell me what this code means.


Thanks.
