The documentation is Novell's own.  It is available in zipped format on
sjf-lwp.sjf.novell.com (sjf-lwp.novell.com or 130.57.11.140) by using
anonymous ftp.  It is in the directory nw_shell\ipxdocs in the file 
ipxrout.zip.

Also, while IPX is based on XNS, it is not XNS (very similar though).

So, back to the original question - are there general guidelines or 
rules of thumb for a multiple-NIC 3.11 server?  (i.e. number of
ethernet cards vs. performance, IP and IPX on all segments, etc).
I have four cards in my 3.11 server now, and am planning to install
two more very soon.  Any opinions?

Dear Novell-ers,

In setting up SAP filtering on a cisco router I started to wonder what
Service types are available/defined. The cisco manual seems to list only
some of them.

Does anybody know where I can get an up-to-date and accurate list of 
Service types, preferrably via FTP?

Thanks very for any clue,

Does Portable Netware support Macintosh clients?  If so,
how do you install support for them.  The manuals that
I have (IBM version of Portable Netware 3.11) do not
even mention Macintosh.

Colorado Jumbo tape backup is giving me a jumbo headache. From everything
I can tell, in order to backup your Mac files, it creates a gigantic file
consisting of the resource forks of ALL your Mac files and then backs that
up as one file.

In a word: Bullshit.

First you have to have enough space to create this monolith, otherwise
you get halfway through and get a message that your volume is running out
of space. Second to restore a file, you have to recreate the monster (again
space,time,etc.) This is not a workable solution.

Can somebody recommend a backup drive and method that handles Mac
namespace in a reasonable fashion?

Thanks very much.

My configuration is Netware 3.11 using TCP/IP, Macintosh NLM 3.01.
The server is connected to Ethernet.
The Ethernet and LocalTalk are connected via Cayman Gatorbox. No LocalTalk
in the file server!
Three LaserWriters on LocalTalk network.
Three ATPS LaserWriter print queues configured on the server.
Problem is that sometimes when a DOS users prints from an application
to one of the ATPS print queues and a Macintosh user prints
directly to a LaserWriter on LocalTalk, the print jobs get
interleaved. The Macintosh print job is a one page graph and the
DOS print job is several pages of text and equations.
Do I need to make all the Macintosh users use the ATPS queues?

Subject: Can a PRINT_SERVER object open network files?


Is it not possible for a PRINT_SERVER object to read and write to network 
volumes?  I know they must read and write some files to serve print 
queues which are probably written in the system directory or in the mail 
directory.

I have a program that logs into the network as a printserver and then 
needs to read and write to files on network volumes.  I try to do an 
"open" or a "fopen" in C to a certain file "volume:dir\subdir\file.dat" 
but I am not able.  I tried to map a search drive using the API MapDrive 
and then use that, but failed.  (ie Z as volume:dir\subdir then opening 
the file as file.dat)

Also, has anyone had experience spawning to another program on the 
network while logged as a PRINT_SERVER.  And how does one check if a 
certain file exists on the network?

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks

Summary: Our APPC connection to an AS400 reports security problems

Article-I.D.: ucunix.Bz7oDC.Fw3
Organization: University of Cincinnati


Hi,


I've got NetWare 3.11 and Novell SAA (1.2?) up and running acting as a 
gateway for our Novell clients to use PC Support with our AS/400.

PC Support is running fine.

However, our internal application (which works fine on vanilla pc/support)
is unable to access the Peer application on the AS/400.  The "send"
verb returns a 0x19 (Session level security).  OS/400 won't start the
peer application;  It logs an error 715,0 into the sysoper message queue.
715 is "incorrect user-id/password or invalid/insufficient user profile".

I don't believe this is correct;  My user-id and password are valid, and
I can run the peer application fine from a vanilla PC-Support client.


One thing of note;  The APPC connection from the NOVELL server to the
AS400 is set to autogen the Device and Controller;  These are created fine,
the session, however, is never created.


General information:

The AS400 boots at security level 20.

The NOVELL server and PC Support, again, all work fine.


I'm really puzzled, and I'm not very strong in the OS400 environment. If
anyone has run into this sort of thing, or knows where to begin looking,
I'd be really grateful.


Please e-mail all responses as I don't normally read this newsgroup, and
our site expires news very quickly.

John

Help,

As I understand the TSU utility that comes with LWP4DOS it is used to 
translate i/o from serial interface applications to tcpip protocols.

What I am trying to do is get an older version of procomm (which uses a com 
port) to access our mainframe using vt100 emulation.

The documentation is terse.

My question is .... how do you get it to work. Could someone post samples of 
applications which you have gotten to work. How are the com posts speed and 
parameter settings setup.

I may have a completely wrong idea of what the tsu utility does. If I do 
please let me know.

Thanx

I don't know if this is the proper forum for this, but since it's basically

XTreeNet to the same features as XTGold some time next year (maybe), but 
until then, XTGold supports ZIPs but not XTNet.  Has anyone figured a way 
around this... a hack perhaps - I certainly have no shame after their sales 
department told me that XTNet would do everything XTGold would do. That 
was  before I bought it and opened it up of course.  It's one of the few 
reasons I used XtreeGold in the first place - usually I hate DOS frontends, 
but the Zip archive manager in XTG is really cool.  Oh well

Anyone?

Nothing it can't handle. In fact, multiple NICs will improve throughput,
since the CPU can be stuffing a packet into another NIC while one (or 
two, etc.) others are transmitting or receiving packets.

Four of my servers have five NICs apiece installed; haven't had any 
throughput problems. I've been expecting other kinds of problems due
to the way things are hooked up, but that's a different issue.  :-)

No, in fact, it's a smart thing to do. It reduces traffic on the 
individual segements, which reduces collisions and improves response
time; the separate NICs inprove response time; and it makes your
network more reliable, since one segement going down does not affect
all your users--some of them can still work, and you have localized 
the fault to a smaller area.

yes, use command line syntax....
 PMAIL filename.ext [TO] novell_username ["subject"] [/B]

optionals
/B will send filename.ext as a separately mailed file.
   require if the filename.ext is NON-ASCII (unless you WANT to
   muck things up :-) otherwise a mailheader is slapped onto the beginning
   of filename.ext with date, time, whom, who, etc....

"subject" just as the word implies, you can add a subject to the mailheader.
   "TEST OF BATCH MAIL" is an example

TO - no explanation for this :-)

non-optionals
novell_username is can be any login name and can be directed to other attached
servers eg.  J_SMITH on server BIGRED
 pmail filename.ext J_SMITH
 pmail filename.ext BIGRED/J_SMITH

filename.ext can also be D:\PATH\FILENAME.EXT (I think!)

Note: If a working directory is defined in PMAIL PREFERENCES
      the user mailing files may get a file not found error when invoking
      pmail command-line interface.  'cause pmail expects the file to be  
      in the working DIR

The best you can do here is using NEWMAIL that comes with PMAIL, it'll
only tell you about ALL the new mail recieved.

But it wouldn't be that hard write a prog. that could scan the
SYS:MAIL\USERHEXID directory for a new mail file and parse the file to
determine the subject field and count the number of mortgage(?) applications.

Later!

Hello...

I seem to be having trouble starting my "Novell NetWare LPR Print
Server V1.0" to allow NetWare workstations to print to my UNIX printers.

Up until today, it was working fine.  However, I did add an additional
printer (Printer2) to the list of printers that this LPR gateway is going
to handle.  To make that change active, I had to:

	unload lpr_gwy
	unload lpr_psvr

That was fine, it was starting it back up with:

	load lpr_gwy

where my problem began.  After typing the load command, the nice blue
screen came up on the console with all the windows for each printer
that the LPR gateway will service.  Before it finished initializing I
got a RED ERROR REPORT window that said:

	DESCRIPTION
            No credit left for file server [servername].

	SEVERITY
	    FATAL - Program execution cannot continue normally.


I checked the NFS Supervisor's Guide and was unable to find anything in
the documentation (seems like I always have that problem when looking
for a reason for *ANY* error) that resembled this error.

Anyone got a solution?

Thanks for taking the time to read this and help out!

Mention is made in the latest BYTE (well, latest that I have seen) of two 
free programs which probe an ethernet, and record the configuration of
workstations as they log in. 

These programs are on BIX, but I no longer have BIX access because of the
cost. Are these, or similar programs,  ftp'able from anywhere?

While I'm asking, what about tools for drawing network layouts? I'm having
trouble with the scraps of paper approach. Ideally I'd have a nice 
laser-printed diagram on the machine room wall showing all the servers, 
workstations, hosts etc.  Unfortunately it'll have to be free- or shareware as 
well, though I'd like some of the expensive tools.
