Peter Magnusson was discussing 'Maping & scripts' with All on 11/19/96:
You need to set the permissions to allow them access to your home directory.
Then they should have no problem mapping a drive to your home directory.
Add to your autoexec.bat files:
SET COMSPEC=C:\COMMAND.COM
or pointing it to wherever your command.com files are...

Ik had laatst een soortgelijk probleem : gebruikers in een Novell-netwerk

Het is mogelijk om wp op te starten met de optie /X dacht ik. Dan gaat deze
uit van standaard-instellingen.
Ik hoop dat je er wat aan hebt.

I think you can use the %OS_VERSION variable in the login script..
It reads which ver of DOS your running anyway..  Try using it to display the
version of DOS to see if 95 reports something unique..

It should be an advantage.  I'm sure it doesn't have as many advantages
as you might suspect.  There is lag time simply going through NT.  You
still don't have centralized management between Novell and NT.

*** reply to <Thursday November 28 1996>, Steve Schneider(1:348/915)
    I had, because I"d forgotten to uncheck "Upgrade to ODI drivers" option
while installing this client for W95. The only solution seemed good enough as
a result of an "upgrade" was a new W95 installation with careful unchecking
an option mentioned. It allowed to keep W95 32 bit NDIS drivers. Then
absolutely no problems were experienced while logginq into NDS tree with
signature level 3.
    The Client32 for WinNT uses 32-bit NDIS drivers and WinNT native NWLink
IPX/SPX compatible transport. BTW, auto-remove a Microsoft Gateway/Client
services for NetWare is not a worst feature. No problems again :-)
    Besides, it seemed to me that either W95, either NT client browses the
LAN and performs connections faster than Microsoft native client does.

user: You are replying to All about "Drive deactivations".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello,
I've been struggling with the following problem for a couple of weeks now.
No real progress so far, so here's my appeal to the outsite world for some
assistance.
I'm getting drive deactivations when accessing a Tandberg Data TDC3720 SCSI
tapedrive on a NetWare 4.10 server, using ARCserve 6.0. The harddisk is
a Quantum Atlas XP32150UW 2 GB Ultra Wide-SCSI drive, connected to the
68-pin slot of an Adaptec 2940 UW controller card. At the 50-pin slot,
the tapedrive is connected. The server is a Pentium-133 PCI based system,
with 32 megs of RAM.
As far as I know, the drive deactivations happen during initial scan of a
tape when it's placed into the drive, or during backup but only at "pauses"
in the backup job (at the end of a backupsession, at the beginning of a
compare
and so on). Also, it appears the drive deactivations only happen after a
period of inactivity (couple of hours, e.g. at night) on the tapedrive. When
in the morning for example a tape is replaced, the drive almost immediately
deactivates and takes down the volume as well. After the first deactivation,
I've found it hard to reproduce the problem, and the tapedrive and harddisk
appear to function properly. But with a few hours wait, it's no big deal to
get the harddisk deactivating again.
Checked the SCSI-settings, cabling, termination. Tried numerous other tapes.
Checked the controller settings (disconnection settings, no Wide speed for
harddisk, no synchronous speed etc.), used another slot, checked CMOS
settings, tried several ARCserve options (rshots/wshots etc.), tried several
versions of tapesvr.nlm, brought the NetWare NLM's up-to-date, updated the
tapedrive firmware etc. etc.
If you need specific information on settings and so on, I'll be more than
happy to provide it.
Anyone with something I might give a try?
Regards,
Derk Hazekamp

Write your reply.

assistant: I included Scott's remarks.  They are right.  If you want to go
   another way, it's this:
   Buy 10baseT (8wire twisted pair) NIC cards and put these in each
   PC.  Then buy a HUB, prolly $60-90 for a 5 PC model.  I'm talking
   Ethernet here, BTW.  You put a NIC card in the Server, and connect
   them all by runnng the "wire" above from the Server to the Hub and
   then from the Hub you run a "wire" to each PC's NIC card. This
   diagram is called a star, and it allows you to hook the PC's up
   without having to daisy chain them like Scott's example (SP above).
   Scott's example is cheaper because you don't have to buy the HUB.
   Scott's wire is a R58 cable and easier to work with if you have to
   put the "ends" on one length of it.
   The star lets you hook up PC's without regard where the one "next"
   to it is.  They all come from the "mama" hub. ;-)
   It all depends how elaborate your System is and how the PC's are to
   be laid out in the office or home.  Something neither of us can do
   for you.  In "my" hospital, if you drew the current star system, it
   would look like an army of sea urchins touching each other.  The
   middle of each sea urchin would be the hub.
