  ^^^^^^^^^^ ^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^
I tend to differ!  Boot ROMS while air-tight security & code wise are a pain
to update, expensive to upgrade and can only last a limited time before
upgrading { how 'bout compatability w/Version 3.2/4.0}!!

Just a thought!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just a rebuttal..  We've got three different brands of ethernet cards
(ne1000 clones, ne2000 clones, and genuine wd8003e's), all with v1.0
boot roms which have worked well with every release of netware (about
six now) we've ever used.  We pay $6-10 apiece when we buy them, so
if for some reason we had to upgrade all 100 of our roms tomorrow, it
would be a relatively minor expense.  It would take my student workers
and myself about 2-3 workdays to update all the roms, given a rate
of 6 machines per person per hour.  I have no reason to expect that
the current roms won't work with netware 4.0 -- novell seems to have
done a good job of staying backwards-compatible with early roms, both
with the dos 5 patches and the odi patches.  Not only would the time
involved in a boot rom upgrade be much less than the time it takes to
run around cleaning floppies & hard drives, it could also be the type
of job you do on a weekend, or during the summer (ie planned & scheduled),
whereas playing boot drive custodian is a year-round job which constantly
eats away at your work time.  (And so far, we've gone three years without
any need to upgrade roms)

It'd be nice to hear from a Genuine Noveller that current boot roms
will work with Netware 4.0 (Brian? Janet?) and maybe even with
UnixWare - booting off the net by roms has proven to be good
approach for our Sun Sparc 2 lab as well.

Subject:      LWP and Prcomm Plus

I understand that Lan WorkPlace can be made to work with Procomm Plus,
but so far I have been unsuccessful.  When I try to load TSU, it won't
work with any com port except COM1 (says session refused for any other
port).  Then, if I load pcplus and try to access COM1, it just sits
there; it says it is connected to COM1, but nothing happens.  Has
anyone made this work?

Brucea@ucrac1.ucr.edu

P.S. LWP, both for Windows and DOS versions, works fine.  I am loading TSU
after TELAPI; I have tried it both in the command line mode and in the
interactive menu mode, same (negative) results.

Subject:      AppleTalk Net #s

Hi.  I need some help figuring out how to configure
my autoexec.ncf to provide access from my NetWare server
to a LocalTalk zone that has two net numbers.  My NetWare
server has an ethernet and a dl2 card in it.

              ---   localtalk zone=UMNet
 ethernet    |   |-------------------------
-------------|   |   net=8193, net=8194
 net=8037     ---
               
               |
         NetWare 3.11
          File Server


I'm not entirely sure how this is accomplished but
it might happen somehow like this:


  PhoneNet             ethernet             PhoneNet
-------------Gatorbox-------------Gatorbox----------
  net=8193             net=8037             net=8194

  Building A                                Building B

The NetWare server and me are in 'Bldg. A'. The other
printer and the folks who want to print to it are in 'Bldg.
B'. We're all on the same ethernet and I thought we were
also all on the same PhoneNet.

I found this out accidentally today when I tried to setup a
second printer in the "UMNet" zone so that folks could print
to it. I edited my ATPS.CFG and added the printer, but keep
getting the error "can't find printer
<NDSB:LaserWriter@UMNet>, retrying". One of my colleagues
ran a program from her Mac that determined that the "NDSB"
LaserWriter, although it appears in the "UMNet" zone in the
Chooser, is on a different network number. Unfortunately, I
can't figure out how to get NetWare to recognize that second
network number. My autoexec.ncf is currently:

   load appletlk net=8037 zone={"UMNet"}
   load c:\netware\dl2 slot=5 name=LocalTalk
   bind appletlk LocalTalk net=8193 zone={"UMNet"}
   load afp
   load atps -v
   load atcon

I tried using an "ATZONES.CFG" file and putting the
"-z" parameter on my load and bind lines.  I tried putting
a second net number on the bind line.  Nothing works.
Can this be done?

Thanks for any help you can give.

          We have a Novell 3.11 server, on which we leave the

          the keyboard is unlocked, and the message about the down
          printerserver is on the screen.  If I cycle through the

Another option that you have is to use the user's FULLNAME to reflect their
home directory.  Instead of entering the user's fullname there, enter
the user's home directory.  Create a group called LONGNAME and add those
few users to that group.  Then in the login
script use the following two lines to map all user's home directories:

IF member of "LONGNAME" map i:=users:%full_name
                                     __________
IF not member of "LONGNAME" map i:=users:%login_name
                                         ___________

If you really need the Full_name field to reflect the user's complete name,
then you may not want to use this method.

If all your users have a login name which consists of first_lastname then
there isn't any real reason for putting their full name in the FULLNAME field.

Subject:      Request for EISA Server Configs.

Hi everyone!

        We are in the process of moving to EISA servers (probably a SystemPro
or SystemPro/LT) and I would like to ask those of you with some that are using
NetWare 386 3.11 and running on Ethernet, some questions.  Specifically,

What is your Ethernet card (32-Bit)?
What kind of hard drives do you use?
If you use SCSI, what adapter do you use (32-Bit)?
How much memory do you have?
How many users are connected concurrently (average)?
Do you run Windows from the server?
Do you do SQL database queries (or any database stuff)?
If so, what SQL NLM do you use?

Well, I've asked a lot of questions, but I hope you will all find the time to
help me out.  I really appreciate it.  Just to let you know, we are currently
using 386/25 ISA machines with 200MB - 1 GB of disk space and 8-16 MB RAM.  We
are running NetWare 3.11 (250) and the Mac NLMs 3.011 (100) and we want to,
basically, put about 150-200 people on one server, run Windows and do some VERY
basic SQL queries.  Not everyone will be doing the SQL stuff, just a couple of
users.  Anyway, thanks for all your help and I would appreciate it if you
would reply to me directly and all summarize for the list.

Reflection costs money. We use CUTE and PDs and/or Kermit which are free.
CUTE is a VT102 emulator but can use TEK emulation, but Kermit is up to
VT320 emulation and has good scripting. Well good enough for what we want
but purists may argue on this.

>I would agree that giving each PC an internet address is overkill to say the

We faced this problem but overcame it in two ways. We have a campus wide
RARP server running on a PC that allocates IP numbers from a pool. I have
the task of allocating IP numbers and I am always open to requests for
permanentl allocated IP numbers. So far the only argument that makes sense
is that of a multi-user host. Why would a stand-alone PC or MAC need a
permanent IP number ? Btw we enter the pool in the REVERSE-DOMAIN to cater
for NEWS-READERS. Ther RARP server was PD from Florida.

The second way was a kludge for non ethernet LANs. Works fine but not very
elegant and does require me to intervene now and again.

Subject:      3.11, NW4MAC 3.01, and MAC(s) not connecting

Cananyone help me with the following problem regarding NW4MAC 3.01 and
1 test MAC (IISI) not seeing the server or any zones?

Our configuration is as follows:
Zenith 486SX/20 with an ACCTON 10BT (ipx) and a DL2000 (appletalk)

I have followed the installation manual from Novell the best I could, and
have some pretty good experience with 3.11 NetWare, but this one has me
stumped.

Here are the steps I have taken

1.) configured a test server with 2 volumes, 1 DOS and 1 MAC
2.) Installed NW4MAC product on the server
3.) Created an AUTOEXEC.NCF with the following ingredients
     file server name LACLAN
     ipx internal net FAABB111
     mount all
     load mac
     load nut
     load btrieve
     add name space mac to macvol
     load ne31 int=5 port=300 name=lacipx
     bind ipx to lacipx net=dead2
     load appletlk net=50000 zone={"LACMAC"}
     load dl2000 int=3 port=240 name=localtalk
     bind appletlk to localtalk net=2 zone={"LACMAC"}
     load afp
     load atps

     load remote
     load rspx

4.)  The server boots fine and no errors occur.  The DOS machines connect
     like a champ, but the test MAC doesn't see the server.  I have tested
     the local talk cables (9 pin and local talk adapter) on another net
     and they work fine.
5.)  I have seen others on this list with the same problems, and have tried
     the suggested solutions, but no luck.
6.)  I tried different MACs, versions of software (6.05, 6.07, and 7)
7.)  I re-installed NW4MAC
8.)  I took name space away from macvol, and then added it again
9.)  I tried every card setting for the DL2000
10.) One thing I did notice was when the AFP module begins to load, I choose
     LOCALTALK in chooser, and the MAC mouse pointer begins to spin (turns
     into a clock).  Then the MAC fails to connect.
11.) I admit that this is new to me, are my zones set up right?

I don't know how much simpler this test configuration can be.  It is just
one MAC connected to a DL2000 adapter.

My next step is to consider if the DL2000 is bad.  According to the DL2000
installation adapter manual and the NW4MAC manuals this is a straight-forward
install, what am I missing?

Any help on this long-winded description would be appreciated

Can anyone tell me how to make our HP IIIsi use both paper trays?
The printer is in a student lab and we have both bins filled with the
same kind of paper.  Even though we have set the printer to take
paper from both bins, once the top bin is empty it stops and wants
more paper.  It does not use the bottom tray in this case.
The manual says on p/ 4-22:

"When the default is set to both, the printer automatically selects
the tray with the correct media size.  If both trays have the correct
size, the upper tray is selected."

Anyone know how we can make the printer use the paper from one bin
til it's empty and then switch to the next one????????

I will have to check out LANfast and LANmodem, but the Remote LANnode is
written by DCA or ICC.  You can call Ed Walton at (800) 274-6633 and he will
be glad to let you evaluate a copy of this package.  It is a little on the
slow side considering when you run a package over the modem, it has to pass
the whole package across to actually run.  You may speed up this connection by
running the package from your home machine.  The advantage of this package is
that it also works in CONJUNCTION WITH a remote control package.  Allows you to
FTP or run server applications concurrently without too much speed change.
