Can you use any version of PSERVER,PCONSOLE,RPRINTER etc. with netware 2.15.

I'm having problems with PSERVER 1.1 and would like to try V1.22.


								THANKS.

Subject:      Ver 2.12 w/Windows Bindfix ?

Hi,
I suspect this question has been asked before, though I missed it. I have just
installed Windows 3.0 on a 2.12 server. I used Wsgen to generate a new shell,
2.x doesn't work with Windows so I genterated 3.x.This seems to work fine.
My question is, Can I use the Bindfix and the other server utilities from
2.2 on the 2.12 server. New server utilities are needed to support the ..
feature of windows.

Respond to me directly
Cioffi@Fair1

Thank you,

Michael

Subject:      Workstation SCSI conflict with WIN3.0 Printing
X-To:         Novell@suvm.acs.syr.edu

I am trying to install a PLI SCSI adaptor (actually a 16 bit, AT bus,
Future Domain card) in the AT&T 6386 WGS that I use for a workstation
so that I can use a removal cartridge drive. The card works fine, I can
access the removable cartridge drive. All of the local applications seem
to be working o.k. I can log on to our Novell 3.11 server (using ODI,
EMSNETX). DOS based application on the server run o.k. I can print to
the HP LaserJet II connected to the server using NPRINT and from DOS
applications via CAPTURE. I can run the network copy of WIN3.01a and
open Windows Applications. But when I try to print to the network HPLJII
from a windows app it chokes. From EXCEL for example, as soon as I
get the "Printing Page 1", info box my screen goes black and the workstation
locks up, the server "beeps" and displays "1.1.5 Station 3 attempted to use
an encrypted password call" (it's apparently confused).

If I remove the SCSI card from the workstation, all works fine. The default
settings for the SCSI card were: INT 5, I/O address 0140-014f, memory address
range CA000-CBFFF. I've tried the default settings plus various combinations
of INT 5, 7 and DISABLED (documentation indicates that hardware interupts are
not used under DOS), I/O addresses 0140-014f and 0170-017f, and address ranges
CA000-CBFFF, CE000-CFFFF, and DE000-DFFFF.  I've tried adding EXCLUDE lines
for the memory ranges to my QEMM line in config.sys and to [386ENH] section
of SYSTEM.INI.  But all combinations result in IDENTICAL symptoms, so I have
doubts that I'm on the right track.

Any ideas???

I am trying to run a Ne3200 and 1 Adaptec 1740 in a HP 486 33T.  It
worked fine until I gave it  heavy disk wrtiting load.  Then 3.11 said
the disk was deactivated due to drive failure.  I talked to our Network
dealers, and they said it was a driver problem.  HP said they'd heard of
problems and supplied a new 1740.  Now the 3200 won't talk to the cable!
I have to trry another 3200 to see what the problem is. (the server
works fine using a NE2000, but that defeats the purpose of an EISA bus.)

Dear Networker,
        I am a computer technician of Mathematics Department, Hong Kong Baptist
College. I have read your document about the packet driver of communication
between UNIX machine and PC. Our department now has a Novell network and a
HP series 9000 model 720CRX workstation. And we want to connect to the UNIX
machine through the PC station. According to our document, we can use IPXPKT
and NET to establish the connection. But NET needs a configuration file
AUTOEXEC.NET and I don't know how to write this file. Can you teach us how to
write this file. Our network configuration is :

HP : host IP address :: 192.133.72.6
     name server IP address :: 192.133.72.1
     Gateway IP address :: 192.133.72.254

It depends on how you drive your packets.  If you use the BYU-IPX package, you
need to regenerate a new IPX.COM, mixing the byu patches with the IPX.OBJ
that comes with Windows 3.1 (which is from novell).  If you use the Intel
thingie, I don't know (never used it).  If you use ODIPKT (i.e., ODI) you
won't need to do a whole lot, just get NETX.COM and make sure you got the
IPXODI from the ODIUP5.ZIP update.  I don't know if you're using the NDIS
shims.

No, it is not limited to a specific Version. This hole is systematic and 
(necessarily) persists.  The personal Login script is a file called LOGIN in a 
user's mail-directory. Since EVERYONE has Create Right in SYS:MAIL,
everyone can create a file LOGIN there, if it doesn't exist. This way
a wide open door for intruders is established.

Novell Servers users (client PCs) communicating with VAX and Unix hosts

 Ian,

 We are using Netware NFS Version 1.1 for a short time now. We did not
 have any problem with protection masks; as far as we know yet...

 However, we discovered the following nasty problem:

 - Exporting only SUBdirectories of a Netware volume works okay....
 - However, if you also export the root of that volume the next mount
   of any of the SUBdirs will crash the Netware-server (abend);
   mounting the root still works...

 We've already purchased an upgrade to NFS 1.2 and hope the problem
 is fixed.

 I also can't believe that crashing a server from a remote client is
 normal; in fact it should not happen under any circumstances.
 Configuring Netware NFS is straight forward; I cannot believe one can
 make configuration errors that bad....

...This is not really necessary, since the cards all have a unique (default)

They were an administative headache - and I have enough of those without
adding one additional source.

-------------------------------------------------------------

They can be helpful IF they are used right.

If you use the burnt in address, then you would have to maintain a data base
of all the  numbers and map them to a name or a room number. This can be
a headache  when exchanging cards; especially in a network with
a large number of machines.

We have come up with a notation by which we can  indicate the room number
and the building in the LAA. This will remain constant even if the card is
changed.
When we have problems, by looking at the monitor we can tell the exact location
of the problematic machine.

Subject:      IP Tunnelling limits (practical and theoretical)

From discussions on this list (although I was off for a while) and
reading the TCP/IP transport supervisor's guide, there seem to be some
practical limitations on IPTunnelling a large number of servers together
across campus or an even wider area.  The guide recommends no more than
ten peers for any node.  (p. A-5)  The reason given is that an IPX
broadcast is duplicated and transmitted through the IP tunnel.  Fair
enough, but I am still struggling in my own mind with a number of issues
that will determine our strategy for connecting the campus through IP
Tunnelling.  Most of these questions might be answered by:  Read this or
that.  That sort of information would be great, but even better would be:
We're doing this with nn servers on a nn Mbit network, and it works fine.

1  What percentage of IPX packets are broadcasts?  (What design
parameters can lower this?  (Eg. replies to GetNearestServer off)

2  Are people using 'unidirectional' IPTunnelling?  Ie Server A is a peer
to B, but B is not a peer to A?  Would this affect performance?

3  Is there any way to return to your closest server upon logout?  In my
environment I remain attached to a remote server if I've logged in there,
and thus if I want to re-login to my closest server, I have to load
LOGIN.EXE from the remote server. (Leaving enough time for a coffee break
if the link is slow enough :-)

4  I remember reading an early summary of the tests of tunnelling across
a very wide area network.  Was there a more complete summary?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.  If you reply to me directly, I
will summarize these.  (In addition to our own experiences)

When anyone but the user who most recently rebooted the machine prints, the 
name of the user who most recently rebooted the machine shows up in the 

Banner Name

field in Pconsole, rather than showing the the user-name of the user 
currently logged in.

We have a work-around (specify NAM= on the CAPTURE line), but the Novell
doc claims the default should be the username used when logging in.

Does anyone else have the same problem??
