Write your reply.

assistant: Can someone help tell me, in laymans terms, what segmenting a series
of hubs means?
    When I went to improve bandwidth on a network, I install two NICs in
the server and hooked one to one hub and one to another hub.  Those
hubs were each connected to two more, thereby setting the stage for a
total of three hubs to one card, three hubs to another card.  This
should separate the traffic to two cards and improve performance.
Right?
    I'm totally ignorant of what segmenting does.  I've seen a picture,
read the terminology, but simply cannot follow what the books are trying
to teach me.
    Anyone?

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
We (at our company) are using 4.1 with the normal client software for
DOS/Windows. The problem is that the computers don't have a lot of
base-memory left after the client software is loaded (with VLM). Therefor, we
want to switch to the client32 software of Novell. It's working fine, except
with nprinter (which we load on the computers were a networkprinter is
connected). If a user print something to that printer, the first three lines
are ok, the rest isn't. Does anyone have some experience with it ? What can
we do about it? Is there a new version of nprinter to use with client32 ?
Thanks in advance for replying.

Write your reply.

assistant: You are dead wrong.  Many CNE's don't even understand balance and common mode
rejection, which are analog traits used in twisted pairs for control of
noise, radiation, and crosstalk.  You have pairs 1 & 2 crosspaired below.
Data errors are a consequence of crosspaired pinouts with noise present, or
crom resultant crosstalk in longer cable runs.
Too many cabling folks make that same error.
In Cat 3 just pairs 2 and 3 are used.  Try that with 2 pair cable and you'll
be reminded the wiring's wrong really fast.
Balanced/differential twisted pair cabling relies on equal and opposite
desired signal current in each side of the pair, and assumes anything else is
stray noise.  Crosspairing is like delivering signal through two antennas,
rather than pairs designed to have inductive fields which the twist helps
cancel, transmitted or received (in the EMF sense, not data send-receive).
Digital signals as nets use are very much relayed with analog transmission
media.

Write your reply.

assistant: Here is a basic rule of thumb: Basic system (NOS) requires 8Mb of
Ram Then add 6Mb of Ram for every 1 GIG of Hard drive. So in your case
you should have 20Mb of Ram. BUT since you don't intend to push it, you
could probably get away with the 16Mb of Ram that you have. Of coarse I
have heard it said that you can never be TOO RICH, TOO THIN, or Have TOO
MUCH RAM :-> .
   That should be fine.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Folks,
    Hope someone can help me with the following problem...
    Netware 3.12 server,
    32 Megs of memory,
    Adaptec AHA1540,
    with two CD-changers:
     one Pioneer 6 pack, single speed 600, one doublespeed six pack, 602X.
Before upgrading to 32 megs, both CD-changers worked, by virtue of some
kludging of NLMs. However, those modules didn't like the over 16 meg
problems, (didn't like = abend) so upon upgrading to 32 megs, I updated to
the latest adaptec drivers. However, now the server won't touch the
doublespeed drive at all. The SCSI bus seems to hang when it tries.
    1. I've tried running the doublespeed on a plain DOS PC, no problems...
    2. I've tried swapping the changers, having only the double speed on...
    3. I've tried experimenting with termination, no go...
Can anyone tell me if they have managed to get this drive working on an
adaptec card like this? The modules in use are
    CDROM.NLM       4.10s (though it doesn't get this far)
    ASPITRAN.DSK    1.21
    ASPICD.DSK      1.11
    AHA1540.DSK     3.23
I'd be very grateful for any advice, information. I know this machine can, on
the existing card, access both drives, but I can't seem to do it with the
right software!?
