BY: Alain Biescas to All on Thu Jun 27 1996 10:47 pm
NO! Don't do it that way! Backup the server twice, put the 4.1 CD in and type
install. Here's what it will do...
1. Copies the NW 4,1 boot files to the directory C:\SERVER.41 on the DOS
partition.
2. Installs NDS and upgrades the 3.1 bindery to 4.1 NDS.
3. Copies the 4.1 SYSTEM an PUBLIC files and NLM's to volume SYS
It was designed with the upgrade proces in mind and is probably the most
convenient way to upgrade.

I'm sure there'll be far more qualified repliers than I, but the first
thing I'd do is get that printer OFF the server.  If I remember
correctly, running a printer on a 3.12 server gave me several of the
scraggly gray hairs I have on my head now.  Put that thing on even an
old 286 running as a print server, anything to get it off the server.
To be honest, the rest of that stuff doesn't sound too painful to me.  I
can't tell if you mean there's only one NIC in the server.  If you have
coax, with one cable in and another out, I'd suggest putting another NIC
in there, one for each cable.  That's cheap, easy and will help a TON!
I develop Clipper, FoxPro and dBASE stuff too and I have NEVER, EVER had
those kinds of performance problems.

Write your reply.

assistant: You may be better off by installing Novell's Client32 instead of using VLM's
with 95.
There are a few things you can try though to get the VLM's loaded. Most
often it is a conflict between hardware settings and net.cfg configuration.
Check that the IRQ is set the same (nic and net.cfg). Another thing that
you can do is run a plain config.sys and autoexec.bat. Rem out everything
except for the himem.sys line, and try reboot. You can also try load VLM
with a /MC switch to force VLM's in conventional memory to troubleshoot
memory problems. Nprinter should work fine with VLM's and 95 when loaded
from the autoexec.bat file.
Good luck. :)

Load a second driver for the IDE disk on the second cable. Each IDE cable
is connected to a piece of hardware with a different I/O address and IRQ.
One IDE cable will hold at most 2 drives. you need to specify the secondary

Routers: Proteon DNX-350's
Since I our last missive it has dropped the connections again: everybody on
the other side of all routers gets dropped. I moved the Server wire (STP)
from where it was on the MAU to the port right next to RI. I intend on
Saturday or Sunday to come in and move the (STP) wires from the routers to
the ports immediately downstream from the server. If that doesn't work,
I'll move the routers immediately upstream from the server. If THAT doesn't
work, I'm considering sticking another (Probably Proteon 1392+) NIC in the
server and creating another separate little ring with only the Server and
Routers and get them off of the main ring entirely. (Of course the Server
will still connect to the main ring via the Lanstreamer...)
