Sounds like you had LWP installed on Windows v3.0, then upgraded Windows
to v3.1.  The Windows v3.1 upgrade procedure, for some reason, deletes
the line in SYSTEM.INI that loads VTCPIP.386, the virtual machine interface
for Novell's TCP/IP Transport.  So, make sure the following line is present
in your SYSTEM.INI file under the [386Enh] section:

	device=vtcpip.386

Subject:      help on routgen and tcp/ip routing

help again please,

we built a router with a token ring and an ethernet card in it.
on the token ring side we have a fileserver with tcp/ip loaded on
it. On the ethernet side we have nothing but a couple of workstations
that want to run Lan Workplace for Dos. Lan workplace sets up ok
but when we reache the part where we set the default gateway number
we realized that our routegen router did not have any IP numbers
associated with either card.

How do we set up IP addresses for the cards on the routgen router?

thanks in advance

Also the program MNU from Bonsai Technologies is pretty good.  It costs $85
for a server license and is shareware.  You can download a copy from the

Subject:      More SMC Elite 32T problems

I found this out the hardway.  After purchasing the card from Dell, with
the 433DE as server (I explained what I was going to do, carefully!) I had
a truck load of problems. We called Dell, they said , "we don't know".
We called SMC, they gave us a "secret number", for a BBS to download the
latest drivers. After another week of trying and talking to two different
people, and carefully explaining everything, SMC finally admitted that
the 32T lacked Appletalk Phase 2 support.

I asked the last person I talked to, when they expected a solution, he
didn't know, but he promised to get back to me. That was 2.5 months
ago, I've heard nothing.

My opinion of SMC has gone down the proverbial toilet. I'm not sure, but
I gather that our central comp. services has decided to switch from
SMC to Cabletron as their prefered vendor, and since I get my cards from
them......

I just found out that the 32T can't handle AppleTalk Phase 2; a fix is

Why is SMC rushing unfinished products into the market?  It sure as hell
doesn't create any good will, does it?!

Hi!
        I have played with this piece of software called a Netware Async Router
for a couple of days, and still am missing something.  Any one use it?

On compuserve, its in library 9 and it called aro.zip.

It's supposed to allow routing of networks over async dialup lines.

Please respond directly as I don't subscribe to this list.

Kevin, SCSI Express is a great idea.  The Pioneer changer on a net is a
bad one.  We've got one on our standalone machines, with a couple on order.
In that situation they work just fine.  But I think the delay in swapping
disks in and out on a net would bee intolerable.

A recent release of the Optinet software (2.x min.) corrected this problem
for me.
Also the Optinet software uses SPX which can be a problem if you're using
packet drivers.

P.S. (to general audience) This is good stuff to look at if you're
considering CD roms on the Novell net. It works well for me.

Subject:      Re:Public Domain Anywhere

Remote access is a problem I have been dealing with for a long time.
The problem is that you may want to dedicate 4 lines but a couple
thousand people may want to call in.  Relying on Carbon Copy, PC
Anywhere and the like can make the software cost far exceed the
hardware cost.

U.S. Robotics is bundling the remote control software they purchased
with the LAN server modems, remote access workstations, etc.  The host
side, only works with their modems.  However, they give the right to
freely distribute the client side.  This strategy makes the hardware a
great investment.  Even at $25.00 a copy for shareware, the one time
cost of even $1,000 for a high end modem, would be paid for by the
distribution of just 40 copies of the Blast remote control software.

The other advantage of the US Robotics solution, is that they are
dedicated to domination of the market in the long term.  Consequently
they will be continually upgrading the software.  They have the money
to invest in R&D.  Plus, they put out some nice modems.  I hope the
PC's they put out for dedicated remote access turn out as nice as
their modem product line.

Subject:      Da Vinci Email for DOS 2.01

Awhile back I posted a message detailing the the problems I was having in
upgrading to version 2.01 of Da Vinci Email for DOS.

From the responses I received it appears that I am not the only one.

After I figured out, (on my own), that I needed to increase the FILES=
statement in my config.sys I was able to get the installation program to work
without crashing.  (I increased it to 50 on the first go around and it worked).

After I installed it I FAXed Da Vinci Tech Support with the two problems that
have the most significant impact in my environment.

        1. On certain machines, the program does not recognize that
           EMS memory does not exist and hangs the machine.  The
           parameters that are supposed to tell it not to use
           EMS are ignored and the machine still hangs. It is supposed
           to swap to disk.

           What I discovered is that on 386 based machines, if you
           load a memory manager, (I use 386MAX), and configure
           it not to allocate EMS, the program will swap to disk.
           It appears to be a conflict with video memory since MAX
           sits in the portion of the memory range A000-AFFF.

        2. The version of MHSALARM that ships with 2.01 does not
           continually alert you of unopened mail.  It will notify
           you when the message first hits your MHS mailbox and that
           is it.  The old version would alert you every 10 seconds
           or so that you have new mail.

Da Vinci's response was:

        EMS Problem===>On development's "to do" list.

        MHSALARM======>Develop said "it makes more sense that way"

Ironically, I just received a flyer from Da Vinci that offers a
tech support program that I can subscribe to for $2,000/year.

What an offer!

Subject:      RE:Supressing Printer Name

       We have Netware 3.11 and Netware for the MAC 3.011 running so our
Macintoshes(on a localtalk) and our IBMs(on ethernet) can all have access
to out Novell File Server.

With the new version of NW4MAC (3.011), you can add the   -h   option to
the ATPS (in the config file it is after the name of the queue), this will
cause the Apple Printer (In our case a Laserwriter II NT) from broadcasting
its name.

However, I have noticied that when the printer gets turned off, the name
returns abut all I do is unload the ATPS then load it again.

Hope this helps.....

remember that you need a separate copy of lite for each machine on the network.
at current discount price of approx $69, that comes to $1,104...  

and i hope they're not going to violate copyright by only paying for one
licensed copy of their applications.

the best bet is to talk to your regional novell sales office about educational
discounts, or call novell directly at 800-638-9273.  i wouldn't use lite to
network more than 3 or 4 workstations... and the "server" needs extra memory
for every logged in user.  security is not very good, either.  administration
of more than 3 or 4 users is much easier with the real thing...
