Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Frank!
    We recently got a new 4.10 server at work with multiple drives. The
[ahem] CNE that installed it enabled compression on the SYS: volume.
Unfortunately for our purposes having compression on THAT volume is not good.
I turned off the nightly compression at the server prompt. What I want is a
SYS volume withOUT the compression, period. Can I load INSTALL, dismount and
rename the SYS: volume and create another? Backups are done with a belt and
suspenders approach, but I was wondering if I could simply transfer all the
user and rights from the old volume to a new one. Thanx in advance.

They should work fine. I use a DX4/100 CPU and have Pentiums hooked up to it.
It is more of a matter of what NIC's, disks and memory you use on the server
as those are main bottlenecks for Novell.

assistant: Hello All!
I apologize if this issue has been beat to death, but I've just got to
ask anyway <g>.
I maintain a small (60 user currently) single v3.12 network, and have
been running Pegasus for about 6 months now. Naturally, all of the
users love it. The next step is to get us all on the Inet.....That's
where the problem lies.
Actually, the problem lies in all of the choices out there. I've been
to practically every Pmail site you can mention, snarfed every file
associated with the subject you could mention (UUPC, UUPLAN, Mercury,
Mercury32, Charon, Mastgate, etc., etc., etc.), and read practically
every FAQ on the subject <g>.
My question? What do all of you use that would work as a store and
dial-up on schedule type of installation using WinPmail? From what
I've read, UUCP seems the way to go, but the simplicity of POP3 looks
inviting.......
Help?!?!
Thanks in advance!
Steve

Write your reply.

assistant: I am having a problem setting up my 2-User 4.11 WFWG
Workstation. Perhaps someone can help out. Here is the
problem.
I have installed the 4.11 2-user server without a hitch. I
have also installed the Client 32 software for WFWG. I
installed it using the INSTALL.EXE. I am able to log in as
ADMIN and do anything ADMIN can do using the NETADMIN util.
However, whenever I go into WFWG, this is where the problem
starts. The Client 32 software loads fine. However, whenever
I try to map Z: to \\FS411/SYS:PUBLIC, Windows just sits
there and eventually I get the following message:
" Client32: Please wait while NWUSER retries request to
FS411
          To stop waiting, press ENTER
Netware will then return an error and try to reconnect..."
If I try to Login, I get the same error message as above
except that LOGIN is substituted for NWUSER. Then I get the
following error message:
" LOGIN-4.20.10-870: An unknown error was returned during
LOGIN's attempt to attach.
Error code: 8809."
 What is an 8809???
If I then go into UserTools and display the drive mapping of
Z: or Y:, all I see is  |/|. And, I cannot change that as I
get a "cannot change drive mapping" error.
I am trying to install the NWAdmin icon for Windows but
cannot get to the drive.
What am I doing wrong or what have not configured properly?
I'm stumped. This is my first attempt at this and I'm sure I
left out something along the way. Any help would be GREATLY
appreciated.

I'm not sure about novell's compress, but stacker and everyother compression
program I can think of, make zip's and other archives BIGGER.  The reason for
this is (I don't beleave this BTW), you can't compress somthing that is
already compressed.  It gets bigger because pkzip or whatever adds header and
the such info to the file.  Think of it as sending a zip file vs. a text file
over the modem.  Which goes faster?

I dont really recommend using Sound Cards in a server since it does not serve
any practical use and also it is a source of conflicts due to it being a

However, if you still want to use it...my guess is that you probably have an
Adaptec AHA 1510 on your sound card...therefore...you will be able to find
the drivers at WWW.ADAPTEC.COM.
