Subject: Mix SCSI and IDE on 2.15?
Date: 23 Jul 92 00:53:49 GMT
Article-I.D.: pdaxs.e1acoB3w165w
Organization: Portland Public Access sponsored by TECHbooks Bookstore

I'd like to know if it's possible to mix SCSI and IDE drives in
a NetWare fileserver.

Our server currently has a SCSI drive that's almost full.  Since
I have an extra IDE drive, I want to add it to the system.  Here
are the specifications:

Server: Advanced NetWare 286 V2.15
  SCSI: 350 Mb Maxtor drive, Always IN-2000 controller
   IDE: 170 Mb Western Digital IDE drive and controller

If you know how to do this, I'd appreciate the information.
Please send e-mail, since I do not read this group regularly.

Thanks in advance,

This is probably a very basic question.  One of our sites has a group all
of whom have vanilla Mac SE/30's and who share a LaserWriter, but are
isolated from the rest of the division who are all PC based and have an
ethernet based Novell network ('386 based but I don't know what version
#) and CC:mail.  They have been told at various times that it is:
 
1) impossible
2) horrendously expensive

to have them join the corporate network.  I don't believe either of these
things, but I don't have hard facts to back me up.  Does anyone know what
would be required in the way of hardware/software to have this group join
the network/e-mail community, and what a ballpark cost/user would be
involved?  Any help would be appreciated.

	NW 3.11, NetWare for Mac 3.01, and that's all for the server. If
you are running LocalTalk (twisted pair slow stuff) then a Dayna Enterprise
DL2000 board is needed. If you already have a LocalTalk to EtherTalk converter
box such as FastPath or Gatorbox then the DL2000 is not needed.

	No, no way. NW 3.11 cannot run non-dedicated, and big servers should
not be exposed to user foibles this way.

Hello,
I have in my hot little hands a brand new HP DAT drive, a AHA1740 SCSI
card and ArcServe 4.0. We have a 486 EISA which may end  up with > 16M
of RAM. So, I bought the right equipment to keep the server full of
32 bit cards.. 

What I am not sure of is if I have to run the 1740 in standard mode 
(ie. with AHA1540) for Arcserve to work happily? Someone on the net
reported a problem with using the 1740 in enhanced mode with Arcserve.
I'm keen to hear how other people are configuring it.

Can someone please send a fax or tel. no. for these companies. There
is a product which was reviewed somewhere recently called Remote LANnode -

Yes, you also need Netware for Mac 3.011 (yes, new version!).  Also,
NW for Mac 3.011 is available in a 5 users version.

No, no, no..... I wouldn't even try this!!!  You need a whole PC running
NW3.11.  Not with OS/2 Swapping memory in and out for your NW.  I
would doubt that NW3.11 will run under OS/2.  Novell though has mentioned
that a future version of Netware may be ported to run under OS/2 but
this is in the future!

For voice-mail and fax stuff, you are better off running them on a
individual PC because Netware are better in running communication
and file services.

Good luck...

Your existing hardware should work, provided your Network Interface Cards
can be coaxed to speak TCP/IP.

>What software will I have to use?

There exists a software product from Novell called "NetWare NFS" that 
makes your NetWare file server look like a NFS server to your Un*x hosts.
It also allows the use of NetWare print queues by your Un*x workstations.

There is another package called LAN WorkPlace for DOS that will allow
your PC's to speak TCP/IP and directly telnet.

Sorry, no.  With Novell's market share, they don't have to give things away.

Typical VAR...  They work fine.  We run packet driver stuff like NCSA, CUTCP
and even Vines.  You can even do this all at the same time out the card using
NDIS and the dis_pkt9.dos shim.  The hubs route it all great.  We run a mixed

there's a couple of ways to add a print queue to a printer in 2.2 (core).  
One is to do something like "P 0 ADD PRINTQ0" at the server console, and the
othe is to do something like "SPOOL 0 PRINTQ0".  If you do a spool of printer
0, it will set that up as the default queue.  If you do a P # add 
queue_name, you will get the above mentioned message when you don't 
specify a queue in your capture.  This also works in 3.11 (the spool 
command, that is).

Hi! I have a little problem with two software packages I'm trying to

students try to copy them and they damage the disks (we are running

disks out. I was wondering if there is another way to approach this
problem. Any information on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Of course there are public domain solutions. Anyone at all familiar with
this and other novell newsgroups can hardly fail to be aware that people
are running NCSA Telnet on machines connected to Novell servers.

If you can already run NCSA without Novell, (ie if you have worked out the
IP addressing and Packet-Driver bits), you need to get either a version of
IPX that runs over a Packet-Driver (BYU and Intel being the sources for this),
or, if you are using ODI drivers, get ODIPKT. This is probably easier.
(Remember, you can use ODI drivers on a workstation, even if the server
and other workstations are using 'old style' linked drivers).

Setting up the NET.CFG file can be a little confusing, but there are plenty
of people who can show you examples of working configurations, if you
tell us exactly what your configuration is.

I'm not sure about NFS, as I don't have a major need for it, (NCSA Telnet
also includes FTP, which is good enough for the occassional file transfer
needs I have), so I don't know what the PD situation is. (SOSS is an NFS
server for DOS, I'm not sure what NFS clients are available). If there
are any PD NFS clients, they almost certainly use Packet Drivers, and
should work happily with ODIPKT, or whatever solution you use for Telnet.

Keywords: Color Printer

We just purchased a DeskJet 500 C color printer for use on our 3.11 
network and are having some trouble making it print color images.  It works 
fine with Quattro Pro over the network (when the printer is attached 
directly to the fileserver and when using RPRINTER), but doesn't work so 
well with WINDOWS or SIGMAPLOT.  In both cases, it works fine when the 
printer is attached directly to the workstation, but not so well when going 
over the net (either attached to the fileserver or using RPRINTER).  It 
starts to print in color, but stops part way through and prints garbage in 
black.  It will continue to print the color image if you change cartridges 
repeatedly.  HP and Novell have been less than helpful.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

    This makes it sound like you may have a problem with your PATH 
assignment. When using Novell shells, any changes to the PATH variable 
should be done using the DOS PATH command rather than via SET PATH=blah. 

    One of the things that NETX does is to take over allocation of 
environment space, and it has special hooks which require that changes
to the PATH must happen through the use of the PATH command rather than
through SET PATH=. Don't ask me why it's the case; it just is.

John, please! You may well have to "waste" an IP subnet as you would with

No. We have no vanilla bridging capability today. Hell, you'll be
asking for spanning tree support next and of course none of us here at
Novell know what that is. Oh... except for that Novell guy doing the
training on it at our last developer conference in Salt Lake. Oh... and then
there was the other Novell guy who took the other session on the
subject, the one I didn't go to that is. Oh, and then there's me of
course. If you need to know about Bee Pee Dee You's (that's Bridge
Protocol Data Units for anyone who cares), i'm your man. But then
I suppose you could ask whats'is face over in building 5. I think
he knows something. And then there's old whatchamacallim.......

OK, we're Novell. Any questions?
