No, it's doesn't make any different after I made a change as above, the
error msg is still the same, ie "cannot get MLID control entry". BTW if I
try to run "ipxodi", if return with the error msg "FATAL: could not find
a board that supports IPX (see protocol keyword)". Is this means this opi
stuff only support a few standard ethernet card ? Does any one out there 
got this working by using the "NI5210" ?

Beware not all lan drivers are created equal.  When using Pburst and Bnetx
there are required lan drivers to be used. These lan driver versions can
be found on Netwire assuming your lan cards are Novell issued.

When it comes to Non Novell cards you must verify with your Vendor that 
their Lan drivers are tested with Burst mode protocol.

Once you can verify these drivers are up to snuff then you must
add the line 
  
   pb buffers = 2-10 are valid numbers.

in you Net.cfg or Shell.cfg.

You should then see with a Protocol Analyzer a packet type of 7777 when
communicating between workstation and Server(must have PBURST loaded).

This communication must be greater than 512 bytes for Bursting to take 
place.

I have RTM but can't find the answer to the question.  We often need to
join 10baseT and Thin Ethernets.  It would be great if we could use the
NW Server to bridge the two.

I know that I can route IP by using LOAD TCPIP FORWARD=YES but I don't
like the idea of "wasting" a subnet and get low-performance routing.

Is there any way to forward IP packets without requiring two different
subnets?

Here is setup - we need IPX and IP as well as the ability to add Appletlk
if required. The whole LAN (starting from the Asyn Link has to be in the same
IP subnet).

          Thin net (IP/IPX)                     IPX/IP (and Atalk)

The manual states "not to include a net mask if you want top maintain the same

THe only problem is that it uses subnet 255.255.0.0 when it should really be

Indeed your are the market...  We try to be sensitive to that.  

I just want to point out, as Don Provan has, that the decision by Novell
not to try to support Packet Drivers directly is not a political one.
This is evidenced by our creation of ODINSUP (NDIS over ODI), and various 
other tools.  

So one might ask: "why not support Packet Drivers".  Well, the fact that
Packet Drivers are shipped in PC/TCP on a disk labeled "Unsupported 
Software" by the originators of the Packet Driver(s) Specification speaks
volumes to that... but there are more pragmatic reasons.  Certainly,
Novell could have opened our Driver Certification program to the task
of testing and certifying Packet Drivers, so that we could assure our
customers of reliable operation.  Doing this however, raises other issues.
Like: "Which kind of Packet Drivers"?  Most are class one, which are 
Ethernet DIX specific and not suitable for many frame types that are 
needed.  Secondly, Novell has always had the advantage of being quite
media-independent.  ODI lends itself to this goal much readily more than
does the Packet Driver or NDIS specs.

Secondly, can anyone point to a protocol stack other than IP that uses
Packet Drivers?  Probably, but I can't think of any offhand...  We offer
our own TCP/IP implementation that has no need of Packet Drivers, but 
that can use an underlying Packet Driver via PDEther.  In the case of 
PDEther, we don't support it because it sits over an unsupported driver.

Besides, I for one would hate to see us put Russell out of business...



One might wonder why

From: <AI4CPHYW@MIAMIU.BITNET>
Date: Wednesday, 22 Jul 1992 21:04:03 EDT
Organization: Miami University - Academic Computer Service

I have a question . . .
 
The site I work at runs Netware 3.11 on 10-Base-T.  The backbone is
shared by some Intergraph CAD equipment.  We recently purchased
Netware for Intergraph so our PC users can access certain data on the
Intergraph Servers and during our setup of this system we have
encountered a problem.  Netware for DOS has been set to use Novell
802.3 packets (these packets are supposed to be used on Novell only
networks and, therefore, contain no packet header ID information).
Netware for Intergraph will not support 802.3 packets, it "speaks"
Ethernet_II packets instead.  As far as we can see, the two packet
types are not compatible (since a server that is speaking 802.3 cannot
be seen by a workstation IPX set for Ethernet_II or vice versa ). The
network is large enough to render re-genning IPX and replacing it on
each machine impractical, and the one of the major reasons we got
Novell for Intergraph in the first place is to free ourselves from the
curse of "Certain workstations must be dedicated to certain tasks."
 
What I want to know is if there are any other options?  Can I set a
bridge or router to translate packets from 802.3 to Ethernet_II?  (In
general, is there any way to translate 802.3 to E_II)  Or have I been
stuck in the unenviable position of having to reset IPX on 200+
machines.
 
Any help or pointers you can give would be appreciated.  Our I-graph
tech support people seem stumped and our CNE isn't quite sure about
what to do either.

My history with Novell documents goes back a long ways and the
only reference to a checksum I can find is in the old XNS IP
specification.  My understanding, based on conversations with 
some of the initial Netware implementors back in the day's of 
4.77 Mhz. 8086 machines, was that "checksums were too CPU intensive", 
and also "hardware was mcuh more reliable now (1983-4) than it
was a few years ago".

Here's the the gas....consider how the world might have been if
those original developers had stumbled over the original TCP/IP 
spec's rather than over the XNS specs. :-) :-)

Hello there,
	I have another problem regarding my project. I am trying to figure
out an alogorithm that can identify a cross in a bitmap image so that I can
see if the image is tilted. I was wondering whether if it is a good idea to
use 2 crosses on the image to help calculate the tilt of the image ( presuming
the image is a standard `fax'ed in document saved a sa bitmap. By identifying
these crosses, I'll be able to calculate the tilt of the image by drawing a
line from one cross to another. Currently, I have hardcoded the cross image
and I do a scan of the image and compare it with the hardcoded data.
	However I find this a long and slow and tedious process. Is there a
better way to do it? Is there any kind of filter which I can pass the image
thorugh to find the crosses? Or is there a better way to find out how much
any image is tilted so that I can normalize it.
	Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanx again!

Switch the 2 envelope types (so E.._802.3 comes first). IPX must bind to

This instructs ODIPKT to 'bind' to logical board 1, which is the second

I don't know novell but we have the following problem:
We'd like students to be able to log in from labs onto our UNIX machine.  
These workstations automatically boot from a novell file server.

Can you run bootp on novell and have it assign IP's to the workstations for
logging onto the UNIX machines?  I saw that TRUMPET uses bootp instead of an
IP address.  If I've got the whole bootp thing all wrong, please also let me 
know.
