***** NOTES from Dave Kearns (DKEARNS @ TCC) at 11/17/92 9:13 AM

"Netware" doesn't check the packet, its implemented either on the card or
in the driver, and is normally a CRC check. The error you were seeing most
definitely appears to be a card problem.

Subject:      Re: LWP General Protection Error

=> I keep getting "Filexprs caused a General Protection Fault in module
=> Fileexprs.exe at 0017:06A8". Does anyone know what causes this and how to
=> 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.

I've found two things that cause this:

1)  After the program's already successfully started, choosing
    some operations will cause a GPF if one of the the file systems
    (either local or remote) is not active. In other words, if you've
    just started it, and no file is highlighted in the local system
    window, it can crash. The Windows programmer types say that one of
    the file system windows has to "have the focus".

2)  If you're running in 386Enhanced mode, then SYSTEM.INI must
    contain the following line in the [386ENH] section:
    "DEVICE=VTCPIP.386". This loads a 'virtual' tcp/ip driver without
    which it no-worky...

    VTCPIP.386 comes with LWP, not windows.

    It works fine in Standard mode without this line.

Hope that helps..

Works very well using ODINSUP. The secret is to (1) install chameleon
vanilla (as if there were no IPX lan present) (2) modify your autoexec
to use the LSL, driver, IPXODI and ODINSUP programs (3) modify your
protocol.ini to REPLACE the NDIS driver with the Novell driver name.
Where it says "Bindings=TokenRing", "TokenRing" being the NDIS driver
name, replace it with "Bindings=Token", "Token" being the ODI driver
name. Add a couple of lines in your NET.CFG to bind ODINSUP to the
board, "Protocol ODINSUP", "Bind Token". then reboot!

I just installed Arcserve 4.0 on a Dell 450SE Eisa serrver running NetWare
386 v.3.11 (100). The streamer is a Dynatek DAT 4000 (6-8 Gb) which actually
is a HP-Dat. The streamer was connected to an Adaptek 1510 card. This
(ISA) card is only for the streamer. A 32 bits EISA SCSI controller from
Storage Dimension is uses for the 4.2Gb disk system.

No problems. Running smoothly from the first day, except for one thing:
My old tapes for Arcserve Solo had to be reformatted. But tapes used on
Arcserve 4.0 can be restored using Arcserve solo.

For my backup strategy i installed the same adaptek card in an old NetWare
backup server. In case the main server crashes, a restore from Arcserve 4.0
can be done on another server.                               * * *

Nobody does multi-server metering yet commercially.  By multi-server
metering I mean licenses that can be shared by users on different
servers.  SiteLock is supposed to get this feature soon, but when it
will arrive is unknown to me.  I would appreciate some comment on
Bright Work on this.

If you want to roll your own package it is possible.  Many of the
metering packages use semaphores to do their metering and some have
configurations files that can be read and rewritten from a DOS
program.  So if you have the Novell APIs, you can check applications
usage by reading semaphores, compare that to total licenses,
reapportion the licenses, and rewrite the control file.  Do this
every 30 seconds or so and you get good license distribution across
servers.

We did this with Setlimit, but there will be no windows version for
that program, so we are dropping the whole thing as soon as possible
(now that we have Windows apps).

        NE2000's have jumper settings for only IRQs 2,3,4, and 5, as shown
in the manual which accompanies the board. It's too bad such a nice 16 bit
board can't use the second interrupt controller chip for IRQs 10..15.

We are helping a local high school plan for a 16 station + 1 teacher station
lab.  Of course, they have a fairly limited budget.  Someone at a computer
store suggested that they could use Novell Lite to install software on 1 station
(say the teacher station since it won't be used all the time) and allow the
other stations to access it.  I would appreciate comments on the usability of
such a setup.  We are very familar with regular Netware, but haven't had any
need to look at Netware Lite.  The main reason they are wanting to go this
route is to save the expense of another computer and a copy of Netware.

We have encountered a similar problem two years ago, when connecting a 
TOSHIBA 5200 to NOVELL. We installed some 8-bit ETHERNET card and did not 
change the bus speed form its default value, which is considerably higher
than 8 MHz. The result was a normal network operation (No network errors) 
BUT when editing text files on the workstation approx. every 100th 
characters was altered. Specially amusing, when editing source files!
After changing the bus speed, the problem was solved.

Nope. THe netware users must be defined on the Netware server (BINDERY) and
the Unix users must be defined on Unix (passwd).

You can however create a unix user who's home account is the same
directory and place as the corresponding Netware user on the Netware
server. This is done through the use of Netware NFS. This allows
you to publish your Netware volumes and printers to the Unix world.

Subject:      NetWare Router Recommendations

Can anyone offer any suggestions for what the very base configuration for
NetWare routers should be.  Let me describe our configuration here on campus.

We have 16 file servers on our campus backbone, half of which are 3.11, and the
rest everything from 2.12 to 2.2.  We have 3 Netware routers on campus
connecting 3 servers to the backbone.  The rest are connected with Ethernet
bridges.  Of the 3 NetWare routers (all external), two are 286 machines with
16-bit NICS, and 2MB of ram. The third is an old IBM PC running Router.exe in
real mode.  This router has been locking more frequently now with the advent
of more machines being connected to the backbone.  Obviously it should be
upgraded. My question is should I upgrade all routers? and what should the
very base model be?  The NetWare routers are routing packets between ARCNET
and ethernet.  Eventually, we are going to convert the ARCNET lans to ethernet
but for know, we are stuck with it.

Thank to all in advance!

Try :

ECHO <password>|LOGIN server/username

Don't put a blank before | or it will be taken as part of the password.
