Write your reply.

assistant: Any suggestions as to what settings are needed to route TCP packets from
a Token Ring card to an Ethernet card on the same NW411 server?
Currently there's a Cisco on the token-ring network connecting to a
remote site. (192.168.x.x numbering) The intention is to introduce
Ethernet, gradually phasing out the token-ring. However during the
changeover period, both networks must be able to use the Cisco.
Have tried various INETCFG setups, but TCP doesn't seem to route
properly between the two networks whatever settings are used.
We need to link the two networks in order that the Ethernet users can
see the offsite link. The server routes IPX easily, but not TCPIP.
-Any ideas, or pointers in the right direction ?
Cheers, Ian.

Write your reply.

assistant: I was wondering, because I try to analyse with students the differences
between a direcct (thru router) connection to an IPS and the passage thru za
proxy (wingate). And my problem is that i don't see the exchange between the
proxy and the router : if I capture the ethernet adress of the router, there
are NO FRAMES directed to wingate !
I can't understand why, because the connection to IPS is thru an ISDN link
attached to the router (then I'm sure the frames are passing thru it !). I
spent an hour trying to understand how the communication can be done between
both machines and I do not understand at all. Or may be is some telepathical
link ?

assistant: *** Quoting Brian Sheperd to Dave Bedwin dated 01-13-98 ***
I've got a few workstations from client32.  I've probably spent more time
installing 6-8 pf those on 95 machines then the past 40 "normal" clients.  It
can really act quirky.  Had one machine completely set up and working - moved
to to the persons desk, and all the network setting were gone.  OK,
reinstalled the network, restart, log into the network, great. Go to add
TCPIP and all the network items are GONE!.  Uninstalled client32 (separate
file from Novell!), deleted the network card, and started from scratch.
Everything fine from there on...  Lot's of other "wierd" things on the
machines with client32...  To bad we need a few apps that require it...
I've had good success with the Microsoft resource (printer) sharing. It was
quick and easy to implement!

or
While I haven't seen this error (comment?) before, I have done a little
programming. Looks to me like an NLM still contains a bit of debug
code. Rather than looking for just new software, I'd look more
carefully at ALL software executing on the server. Do you run anything
custom, or not tested by Novell Labs?
You might also check Support Connection on the Novell web site, in case
someone has hit this one before.

limited number of protocols and topologies. You'll see IPX and IP,
for instance, but you may not see NetBEUI; you can interpret Ethernet

Look at the documentation to determine which protocols and topologies

(Sorry : Bad english -> Im Dane...)
Could someone perhaps help me out.
Im looking for a software product, that are able to scan a mixed network.
Port scan Ip, trace route etc., Making a diagram over the network and
troubleshooting etc.
We have a network with:
Novell 3.12, Intranetware 4.11, NT 3.51, NT 4.0, SCO unix, Apple Unix,
Linux, OS2 Warp, Citrix servers etc., based on ipx/spx and tcp/ip on TP.
(Problem, new software only support tcp/ip not ipx/spx)
The servers backbone is switched (100MB SMC Switches)
(Problem here is that the switches filter packets, so it is difficult to
 snif the network with eg. LanAlyzer etc.)
Workstations are attached to 10MB or 100MB hubs, with windows 95 or
NT.
There is a lot of moving around, and we are 4 people to take care of the
network. There has never been done any documetation over the net :(
Do any of you out there know a great software product able to solve our
problem ?
