With the LANDR? update, you need to determine whether your LAN drivers
support HSM version 3.30 or HSM 3.20 (all 3.30 drivers do, some 3.20 drivers
do, some 3.20 drivers don't). For HSM 3.30 LAN drivers, you might need to
download the Intranetware drivers for the models of NICs in your 3.12 server.
FYI, we're running HSM 3.30 with a 3COM 3C5X9 and Microdyne NE100I NICs.

I think the 1000 user license is called the unlimited user.
But you can stack them together, so I think that 4.11 is only limited by

Hmm, I had a friend who's 3.12 system did that all the time.
Turned out it was a virus on the server, corrupting the exe files.
I bought him a novell smart version of norton virus scan, and set it up
to run every nite around 2 to 3 am, when it would have the place to it
self, It would kick all workstations off the network and scan the
server. it worked, sort off, but every day the virus was back in the
system, turns out most of the employees were swaping files with friends,
who never check the disks for virus's before they loaded it on the
system. I finally told him, Make everyone Scan thier floppys for virus's
BEFORE loading onto the network, or learn to live with the constant
corruption of files.

Well, without going into great detail.. With the client services for netware,
(available for NT), you can tell all your workstations to login to the NT
server, and have the NT server take care of the drive mappings to the netware
servers.  NT will login to Netware using one account, and will let thousands
of users access the netware server, even if it has a two user license, since
the NT server is actually the only computer that logs into it.
But since that's probably not what you want to hear -- you can always add two
sets of clients to one machine.  That's what's so nice about NDIS and ODI :)
I know I've setup a machine running Dos and WFW 3.11 to login to a netware
server and an NT domain at the same time, so I'm assuming its possible with
Windows 95 as well.  It's as simple as installing two clients, the hard part
is the memory management ..
If you can let me know what you're trying to do and how you're trying to do
t
and if you send me any specific error messages I'm sure I could help you ease
your way through it.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Rosemary,
unexplainable
When you for example copy login.exe 'new' to the server, the file will
be updated. Your NIC's seems to deliver the data without corruption,
so there seems to be a not to small chance that the data is corrupted
while it is in the cache. Whenever you experience the problem, try
to copy a large amount of data (about 32 or somewhat less) several
times from the server to whereever you want. By coping such large
amounts of data several times, the other files (the corrupted
exe-files) won't be in the server-memory anymore, and will be
reloaded when you retry to use them. If this helps, it has to
do something with the server-memory.
BTW Never heard of HP-Kingstons problems, but I don't have much
experience with HP-systems anyway.

Martin.

assistant: Hello Rosemary,
    I had the same problem with corrupted executables. After a long, very
long, time searching, it turned out to be a IRQ conflict. I thought
installing one NIC on IRQ 10, and the second on IRQ 11 would work.
    Later I found there was some other device using IRQ 11 as well. I did not
find out what device it was. I stopped looking and used IRQ 9 instead.
Problem was over.
It's working like a charm for two months now.

Write your reply.

assistant: If the clients should not change, and you do have NW3 servers (not NW4 in NDS
mode), then configure the 'NetWare File & Print service' on the NTS system.
Then it will behave as yet another NW3 server, and still you can use it as an
application server. The Gateway service is _not_ the way to go as far as I
can understand what you ask. It offers, for 'LAN Manager style' clients (so
in DOS/Win: NDIS, NetBeui or TCPIP, not ODI/IPX as with NW3 clients), the
additional access to NetWare resources. I guess you don't have that style of
clients, NW shops even when using Windows for Workgroups still switch off the
NDIS capabilities of it...
The construction written above is the one I use for a large branch of ours,
which slowly needs to migrate to NTS. Next to the NW clients, they will get
one or 2 real LanMan clients (and a NT Workstation) to test their scripts and
applications for native NT Server compatibility.
Success,
<l.e.>
PS No opinion included for NT contra NW. I use both, the regional branch
decides which path to follow depending on e.g. their software and the local
dealers. NT Workstation makes a great application server in NetWare LAN's,
wait for Novell Tobasco (NDS on NT).
