          I have asked the local dealer and even dial up to the 3Com BBS

          If you have one, Please send one copy to me for I can't use the

          Your kindness will be much appreciated ...

          And if you hava the map about how to setup the memory map SW of
          the 3C505, Please also show me how to set it up. The manual I

Hi Novell Experts:

I have a problem.  How can you determine which network a user came in
on?  In other words, I've got a 4 segment ARCnet network (segments A, B,
C, and D).  I need to know which segment the person connected from.  Is
that possible?  Preferably I need to set an evironment variable,
something like: NET=A if the person is logged in using segment A, etc.

Any and all ideas, pointers are much appreciated.  Thanks.

Subject: Non-standard disk types

I need some urgent help on this one: We are trying to install
a Netware 3.11 server on a 386 clone. We are rather new to this,
I must add. The clone has a 200MB disk, off an IDE controller (ISA).
The disk is defined to the BIOS as USER TYPE (47). The BIOS is
AMI.

Apparently we can't find a way to define the disk to Netware. It seems
to insist on having only the pre-defined disks it knows about; we can't
find a way to define a "general" disk to it.

This installation is very urgent for us and I would appreciate any
light anyone can shed on this.

Please E-Mail directly to me, to make all this as fast as possible.
Thanks in advance

I think this has to be looked upon as a Netware bug.  If the new CISCO PROMS
fix the problem, thats good, but a cisco router is nothing special (i.e. its
just another network interface card on the LAN that just happens to be
routing frames), so if the cisco can send a packet to the server and crash it
that means so could any workstation, just by sending that same packet. 
(If the packet from the cisco contains some kind of error, then that's a Cisco
bug and Cisco should fix it, but it shouldn't be crashing the server - how
secure it that - someone could write CRASH.EXE that would send that same
packet to all novell servers on the LAN and crash them all (thouhg it appears
from your post that it only occurs with 3.10).

LIPX.NLM was included in MPR v1.0, but it will not be in MPR v2.0
which is due to hit the streets sometime this month.  I'm not sure
where you'll get it after that.

Personally, i recommend forgetting about LIPX and just using Packet
Burst.  For most applications, Packet Burst is a better way to improve
NetWare performance over IPX internets.  I believe you can purchase
Packet Burst through normal channels for a small fee.  (It, too, was
including in MPR v1.0 but won't be in v2.0.)

1).  The LPR_GWY will send the data destined for the RS6000 without any filter

     This off course screws up any post script commands because the code

I think the drivers are going thru Novell certification process.
I have been using them for several weeks without any problem.
Once they are certified, I think they will be released to customers.

This is no request for help, this is a hint for other NE2100 users.

2 weeks ago we got 5 new 486/50 EISA with NE2100 Ethernet card.
3 of them worked fine, but 2 showed a PARITY ERROR when starting Windows, 
Borland C or other large programs.

3 RAM-test programs showed a defect in a couple of RAM cells (4-20 defect 
cells). We could run the test again and got the same cell numbers.
Our fist thought was, that the RAM is defective and replaced it, but
without a result.

Next we tested the other 3 computers and found that they also have
defective RAM cells, but these computers showed no sign of malfunction.

Until this time we loaded the RAM test program over the net. Now we made
the test from our local disk without logging into the net. This time
we had no RAM errors.

After replacing the NE2100 card with another Ethernet card, the RAM test
showed no defective RAM cells anymore.

We also tested the NE2100 in a 386/33 ISA and had the same problems with
defective RAM cells.

Does anyone had the same problems with the NE2100 and how did
you solve it?

Howdee,
We recently joined the System 7 world, and don't find it to be any  
improvement, yet. It is slow, it is a hog, and it cripples some of the file  
manouvering that was simple under System 6.x. Some of the Macs on the  
Novell Netware server under the 3.01 NLM are small Macs: 2 Mbytes of  
memory, 80 Mbytes hard disc. We are finding that it is a requirement to put  
System 7 in these lil' guys, for compatibility of work among the group  
under various applications. That is, lil' Mac under 6.0.8 can't do a thing  
with the work on the floppy that was recorded on the big Mac under System 7  
and the release of the application for System 7. Might I transmit this work  
via the internet from big Mac to the lil' Mac, and avoid the  
incompatibility problems between application editions? Loading System 7  
into the lil' Macs seems burdensome, since the big Macs (16 Mbytes Ram and  
80 Mbytes hard) disc slowed down to a mere trot from the run they were  
doing before the System 7 installation. What is the recommended minimum  
environment for upgrading the lil' Macs to System 7 compliance?
Thanks, and have a happy day...

     Question for Novell Guru's:

     I have a scanner connected to a SCSI port on one of the
workstations in our novell lan. I have an application that I run which
accesses this port (input and output). Is there any way I can run my
application on one workstation in the network and have it access the
SCSI port on another workstation?

    I called Novell, but they said I had to write some peer-to-peer
communications software (and it didn't sound easy). I'm sure this type
of thing must have been done in the past. Does anyone have any leads I
can pursue (software may be commercial or shareware).
