Subject:      RE: Watchdog time out

Hold on: there is something not right here. All servers, of whatever kind,
advertise their names constantly across the network. Just look at the output
from `track on' at the file server console - the fileserver advertises its name
and the other servers (print and otherwise) reply with theirs. I have my print
servers running constantly, weekends and all, and they have sometimes been
without work to do for a week or more. They have *never* been kicked off the
net by a watchdog logout. I would suspect you have a problem somewhere else
- cabling, power, routers, bridges, something like that which is breaking the
connection between the print servers and the file server.

Change your login script and the system login scripts to use insert on
the map statements, like:

map ins s1:=sys:public

and it won't over-write your path when you log in, and everything will
be the same when you log out.

I have a Novell 3.11 LAN running on Token-Ring that I just connected to our
Ethernet LAN. I am using CUTCP with IBMToken as the Packet Driver with success;
but when I try to use the BYUIPX 3.10 & Netx 3.26 I cannot find a fileserver.
I fall back to the original IPX gened for the Token-Ring cards and can find
my fileservers.

What should I be doing for the IBMToken Packet Driver and BYUIPX to work
together?

Subject:      NetWare 3.11 Bug - NLM Search Path

Here's an interesting bug I found yesterday...

I have a client that is running NetWare 3.11 on a server with duplexed
disks.  In the STARTUP.NCF, there is a statement "SEARCH ADD 1 C:\" so
that NLMs will be loaded from the DOS partition first, and if not found
there, from the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

The primary disk drive failed.  (Now the DOS partition is not accessible).

When the user attempted to load NLMs, they received the error message
"Error reading from load file" and the NLM would not load.

It turns out that doing a SEARCH DELETE 1 at the colon prompt on the
server fixed the problem.  Netware could not find the C: drive and
instead of proceeding to look at the next drive on the search path, it croaked.

Novell has been alerted to this bug...

I agree with Jim...  with the Netware Workstation for Windows stuff
installed (DOSUP5.ZIP & WINUP6.ZIP) there is no need for capture before
windows.  We've had the spurious character problem when neophyte user forget
to use capture with the NT (NoTabs) option ...

Subject:      NetWare 4.0

    I have a few questions about what exactly is going to happen to
NetWare aware applications when 4.0 comes out.  I understand that
there will be a bindery emulator with the initial release, but that
it will not be included in any releases after that.

    The biggest NetWare dependent applications we have at the moment
is Charon & Pegasus.  Since Pegasus has built-in MHS/SMF so we could
get an add-on and make local mail delivery still work, but what about
Charon?  Just how much effort will be involved in converting
applications to work with 4.0?  Also, what about NLM specific
applications?  Will they too have to be re-written?

    Any comments?

Well, I had the same problem with my 2.15C server.  So I tried upping
the number of routing buffers from 50 to 100.  Same problem.

I have 3 NIC's in my server.  LAN A is an 3C505, LAN B is an 3C503,
and LAN C was an 3C501.  I decided (correctly, I might add) that the
problem might be the 3C501 card, since it was on the campus backbone
after a fashion, and might not be happy with what it was getting hit
with.  So I regenned the OS for an 3C505 in it's place, and hey, been
up for 14 days now with no problems.

So, Peter, take a look at the NIC's you're using and if you have one
of the early 8-bitter's, you might want to send it off to a computer
museum.  Next guess, try a newer version LAN driver.

Hope this helps.....

Subject:      3com 3C523/TP Ethernet Cards

I recently had a very strange thing happen with a Netware 3.11 server
and a 3com 3C523/TP ethernet card.

This card has 2 ports: External AUI port and Internal RJ45 twisted
pair port.

We were connecting the card to the network using the AUI port and an
external transceiver.

When loading the appropriate LAN driver and binding ipx to it, the
server could see all other servers/networks on the net, but no other
workstation/server could see it. When doing a 'reset router' the
router table was reset and eventually grew until it would see all
other servers/networks again.

The solution was simple. The card had been accidently configured to
use the internal RJ45 port, when this was corrected all was well.

However, the $64,000 question is this:

    If the card was configured for RJ45 and our network was connected
    to the AUI, how on earth could it see anything on the network
    while configured wrongly???!!!!

Any suggestions welcome.

Hello,

  I mentionned before a problem of garbadge printing on a laserjet III
true type fonts (LJIII on the net).
There is serveral problems.

In fact win3.1 manage networks printers on another way than 3.0. In
3.0 we were obliged to capture under dos with a long time out
and a byte stream config. Now it is completely different. You are not
oblige to capture before since it is done by windows and a job config
is not necessary. As written in wrk you SHOULD AVOID TIME-OUT as
the printman generate an endcap.
2) There is a bug in pserver.nlm under 3.11 you should get pserver
1.22 you can get it at splicer.cba.hawaii.edu in /novell/util/psrv122.zip

Concerning true type fonts desapearing under W4W2 and some weird things
i recommend to get W4W2.a . I have a doc file which cause a fatal error..
A printing problem with Excel3/LJIII/win31 (charge letter) was solved
updating to Excel4

Hope this helps  Dominique

There is a program by Citadel Systems called NetOff.  It monitors activity
on the keyboard, disk drive, network. printer and open files before logging
an inactive station off the network.  I believe it's only a couple of
hundred dollars for a server.  Citadel's phone number is (713) 363-2384.

we used to get it when our server was as PS/2 Model 80 (it seems to show
itself well on that platform) we have since moved to a 486 mother and the
problem has gone.

Hello,
i'm looking for information about a program called FaxIt. It is very
similar to WinFax Pro except that one presumably can use it with Netware,
one vendor here says it is a full network fax solution with any class 2
fax modem.
So, does someone in the community know which company in the U.S. is producing
FaxIt and in this case send me their phone/fax/bbs-number? Or has someone
worked with FaxIt and could tell me about his experiences?

P.S.
I got some mail on my previous reqest for information. Someone told me
Intel beeing the manfacturer of FaxIt. I tried to mail him personally
but his Internet-address seems to be invalid.
So can anybody verify this information and in that case mail me the
phone/fax-number of Intel's pc-sales department in the U.S.

Thanks again and apologize my wasting of bandwidth

Michael

Joe,

Thanks for the response. Unfortuneately, two of the occurrances
have happened in the middle of the night when we traditionally
have nothing but SAP, RIP, NBP, etc traffic. All the servers
are running 2.2 except one which is running 3.11. Each is in a
different building isolated from the campus network with a bridge or
a port on our "backbone router". Any other suggestions? Its only
happening about once a week on different servers so I'm at a loss
as to where I can place a protocol analyzer to catch the culprit(s).
All our servers are econfiged. We have a lot of Appletalk, IP, and
LAT traffic as well as the 8137 stuff. But again, 2 or 3 times its
happened at night. Thanks for any suggestions.

        IP tunneling is a point to point relay process, where a server relays
all the IPX traffic to the destination points. Think about how one server
sees the other servers on your network, multiply by the traffic each hears.
In addition, IP tunneling is SLOW, because all of that extra packet formulation
and unwrapping at the other end. Thus not only does user-perceived performance
degrade and manager headaches skyrocket (keeping all the connection points
straight by manually specifying the routing) but also the backbone traffic
skyrockets too. What a waste, just to coverup the biases of a few people.
        Also I presume these folks forbid Macs and VAXen and anything to do
with OSI frames such as found in modern Lan Manager systems. These restrictions
can hardly enhance the usefulness of the network for the faculty and students.
I have yet to hear of one decent reason to restrict the backbone to IP only
traffic.

If I'm not mistaken, Windows 3.1 doesn't care whether or not you have capture
loaded (as opposed to Windows 3.0) -- if you take a look at what TSRs you have
loaded (or run a capture /stat), you will notice that, after you print
something
through Win 3.1, Capture gets loaded for you... after you exit Windows, you
will
see that capture is loaded with the defaults you had specified within the
windows session... regardless of dos kits and workstation banter.
