Subject:      RPrinter problems again ...

Dear netlanders,

First: Excuse this 1000th release of RPrinter questions.

Once again I thried to run RPrinter on an AT with VGA and 1 par-ser-
card. Result: Several hangups and a few successes, without any
configuration changes.
After this I tried to reconfigure hardware and software in all
possible manners - result: the same status.
So what else can I do to get this box runnig ?

Our configuration:
The I/O-card in the RPrinter-machine uses IRQ 7 for Lpt1, software is
configured for this.
Software versions: Pserver.nlm V1.21 Rev B
                   RPrinter.exe V1.21

And another question: Whenever the RPrinter machine hangs up the
Pserver-console reports "connecting" and does not let any other
machine catch this printer. I un- and reloaded pserver.nlm to solve
this problem - is there any other (simpler) solution?

Thanks in advance ...

Subject:      Cheap/Free Conferencing/BBS Packages for Network?

We'd like to start experimenting with conferencing or BBS systems
here, and I wonder if there are cheap or free systems worth trying out?
I suppose we'd need at least a dedicated workstation to use this (though
my guess is it wouldn't have to have its own Hard Disk, but could use
the network disk).

Any help would be appreciated.

    Wildcat is a fine shareware BBS program.  It has a flexible
    conference/message base system, allows file transfers, and the rest.
    It works both via dial-up and over a Novell LAN.

    The only drawback I've seen is that in a multi-server environment it's
    vulnerable to users sneaking in via the ATTACH command.

    It's published by Mustang Software.  Registration is around $150.  Test
    drive, single-line versions can be found on Simtel.

I keep getting "Filexprs caused a General Protection Fault in module

fix it. It happens with both numeric and alpha IP address. I got the same
error in the Host Presenter until I went to numeric IP address but that will
not fix it in File Express. Any hits would be greatly appreciated.

While this is not recommended it can be done...
login slaphead < password.dat
(password.dat is an ascii file who's contents are the password i.e.
copy con password.dat
k9l8j7d
^Z
if you follow my drift)

I was in a position where I had to have a device login to our network
so I set the account up without a password, restricted access to only that
what was required, set up station restriction for that ethernet address
only and kept it in a locked room.

Subject:      Re: Utility to retrieve Password?

>Is there a utility available that will return the password of a logged on user?

I highly doubt this.  This would compromise the security of Netware
if it was possible.  There might be a way to do it with an NLM but I
haven't heard.  I have had my password checked to make sure it was
not a common word on a Novell server once, but I have no clue how it
was done.

>(Norton Desktop for Windows appears to be able to read the password since it
>allows you to tie a screen saver password to the Novell password.)

You do not need to know what the password is.  What NDW can do is
ask for the password from the user and verify it without having to
know what it is.  NDW sends the password entered to the file server,
and it verifies the password and returns a code to NDW.

Subject:      MaynStream Tmenu corrupting catalogue.

Hello:
    I recently acquired a new workstation with enough disk space to
install the Maynard tape backup software on it and launch it from C:
instead of from a network disk.  Now, the backups are working fine but
the catalogue is invariably corrupted after a backup.  Temnu, the
next time it is run, will complain about an unusable and unrepairable
catalogue.  Chkdsk turns up a lot of trash on the disk and allocation
errors in the catalogue files.  There were no catalogue corruption problems
when the tape software was installed on and launching from a network disk.
   I'm reasonably sure the QIC-02 card is jumpered correctly and not
conflicting with other things, like the disk controller.  Nor is it
likely the network card since everything else works OK.
   The machine runs Windows 3.1 sometimes, and has smartdrv installed with
double buffering.
   Any ideas??

Hi netters,

We desperately need a way to access our Novell servers disks, from
our SUN system. Ideally it would allow us to read files from the
novell server, and let us share printers between them.

Please do not recommend the Novell NFS-NLM, after using it  for
a couple of months, we've come to the conclusion that it's a piece
of junk. It is not stable, and consist entirely of bugs (or undocumented
features as Novell calls them). When heavely loaded it keeps crashing
our Novell server. 

A method of emulating an Novell workstation on the SUN would be
great, it must be possible to have a SUN speak IPX.

Hello all
We are having a nasty problem trying to get tn3270 working with lan work place
for dos.  The basic symptom is that tn3270 (i have tried both novell's and
brown's) seems to work with less than full screens.  As soon as a full screen
of information is sent to the pc, it hangs.  No error messages, no beeps, and
requires a power off/on cycle to get back.
The basic configuration is IBM ps/2, IBM 16/4 token ring cards, ODI drivers,
lsl version 1.21 and token version 1.12.  TCPIP transport is version 4.01.  I
have removed all the usual trouble stuff (himem.sys, smart drive, etc) from
the config.sys and autoexec.bat files.  My best guess is that something is
running out of buffers, or work space or something, but we have set buffers,
and mempool up as high (in various combinations) as lsl would allow. Any
suggestions would be appriciated

Subject:      Routers in parallel

We are planning to use a Cisco router to split our campus network into a
number of subnets. One consequence is that some of our centrally-managed
Netware 3.11 servers will have to be shared between two or more of these
subnets.  In order to benefit from traffic partitioning, I am
considering the following arrangement, in which the fileserver has one
interface card for each connected subnet:

                     subnet 1
                ---------------------------------------> to departmental
               |                          |                        networks
subnet 3    -------  subnet 4       ------------
     <---- | Cisco |---->          | Fileserver |
            -------                 ------------
               |                          |
                ---------------------------------------> to departmental
                     subnet 2                                networks

The Cisco will be routing IPX and AppleTalk, as will the fileserver
(which has the Mac NLM installed).

I am unclear whether the existence of a second router in parallel
between subnet 1 and subnet 2 could cause any problems for either of
these protocols. Advice about this and about the proposal in general
would be very welcome.

a) Performance: Arcnet has a MUCH lower throughput than Ethernet, so it's very 
slow.  But you can buy 20Mb/Sec SMC cards.
b) Arcnet cards are cheaper than Ethernet (unless you go with the highend 
cards).  If you are using Coax the arcnet is cheaper but if you use UTP arcnet 
then the cost is pretty close.
c) I personnaly don't like arcnet because:
     1) It's an OLD technology and not very well supported anymore.
     2) The 20Mb/Sec boards are only made by one or two companies (that I know
of, I think that Thomas Conrad is the other one).

One big bonus of Coax Arcnet over Ethernet is that it's VERY durable, you can
smash, kick, crush, pull, push, chew, and steamroll the Arcnet Coax and never
lose your connection,  Hell one time I repaired a broken end with scotch tape
and a rubberband.

I think that the big question that you should ask yourself is which topology
and protocol has the most multi-vendor support and I think that you'll see that
Ethernet will be your choice (as far as wether you should use Coax or 10Base-T
... that is another issue).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't LOGIN.EXE function as a intrepeter?
kinda like basica.exe or command.com, and one of the "internal" commands
that it understands innately is "MAP" - so it should work without
the "#"  (where # means external command)?

Use Int 19 with caution, It only call the Floppy boot loader and does not
reset the interrupt vectors. This allows old TSR's from the previos boot to
cause problems because often their code is erased from memory by the new OS
load, but the vectors still point into the memory where they were. I think
this is fixed in DOS 5.0 but if you are using a older version of dos
watchout. Note: If you notice that INT 19 reboots the machine much faster
that the other methods of S/W reboots than you can be sure that it did
nothing more that loading a new boot sector and executing it.
