assistant: Er, I think not. I believe you're talking 10Base2, or THIN NET, in which
case you would be correct. However, I don't think a 10BaseT NIC will be
very happy with straight COAX and terminators. <g>
This appears to be the consensus. Thanks!

assistant: Have you considered remote boot workstations? If you are this concerned about
security, remove the floppy drives and the active partitions from the
harddrives, and add a remote boot chip to the NICs. You can also physically
remove the LPT and COM port connectors... lock the case covers... restrict
access to certain hours of the day...

assistant: Does anyone out there have a means, using the WIN95 client from Novell,
to avoid having to press the enter key to accept a blank password at
boot time.  It's very annoying to come in in the morning to find that
the scheduled job did not run because the power went out overnight
briefly and the computer waited until the enter key got pressed in the
morning to continue with the boot and get on with its work.
 I hope I'm just missing some real simple parameter and the password
screen can automaatically be saved and reused or skipped when blank.

assistant: Dear readers,
The following is the case:
I work in a Novell 4.1 environment with SAA 2.0 for connectivity with
an AS/400.
We use the NetSoft router as shipped with SAA 2.0 in conjunction with
Client Access/400.
The problem is this:
When the NetSoft router is launched, it will poll via the gateway to the
AS/400. When the AS/400 is NOT running, the NetSoft router will continue
trying to make a connection with the AS/400. This continuous polling
results in a total lockup of the workstation.
Does any of you have a suggestion to configure the NetSoft router in such
a manner that it will stop polling after a reasonable amount of time?
Thanx in advance,
Cheers!

Write your reply.

assistant: I would like to find out how some of you handle virus scanning on
your networks.  I've found that many of our machines don't have
sufficient memory to run McAfee's virus scan from a login script.
So what I've done is create a batch file named LOGIN that does the
virus scanning before the user logs in, by running SCAN from a
directory under SYS:LOGIN.  I have also compiled the batch file
using PC Magazine's BAT2EXEC (making LOGIN.COM) and placed the file
in the SYS:LOGIN directory.
Once in a while I get a machine that reports insufficient environment
space the expand the PATH environment variable (for my search
mappings).  This doesn't seem to be related to the amount of free
environment space, either in the master environment, or in the copy
passed to LOGIN.COM.  I also seem to be able to add environment
variables (up to my max environment size) from within LOGIN.COM
without problems, except for those reported by LOGIN.EXE.
So, how do you handle scanning?

I am running 4.1 under Warp conncet right now.
First DO NOT load the Adaptec driver during the 4.1 install. It should
automaticaly load the diskshare driver, this is all you need.
If you plan on sharing the NIC between the server & the client you must
install the client first.
If you wish to run the server & do Peer to Peer or TCP/IP between OS/2
machines I recomend you get a second NIC for the server. Use the 1st card
for the client & server. User the second for Peer-to-Peer & TCP/IP.
If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
