 You are likely setting the pc time backward of what the network

assistant: Hallo Peter
Dont we all (smile)
Yes Peter, what sort of computer are you running?
I run a 586 plug and play motherboard   this mean that the bios configures
the computer for the best performance.
The problem been, if you set up your Ne2000 card your nicset program reports
say IRQ 10, you then try to change the IRQ setting to IRQ 5  the Plug and
lay
will not change the IRQ settings using the Nicset program.
I had to put the NE200 card in 386 computer to change the settings of the
Ne2000 card, try to change the Irq settings using another computer.
I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
I hope this help.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi netware freaks,
on my server (Netware 4.1 SFT III) auditing is running.
A few month ago the server crashed and one auditing configuration file (for
one volume) was corrupted. Now I'm prompted to press any key, every time the
volume is mounted (a message for the corrupted CAF-file and the deactivated
auditing appears). After mounting and server up I have then to reactivate the
auditing with auditcon.
From Novell (via the local supporter) I got a workaround for just that kind
of problem. To repair the corrupted CAF-file I should delete it. But thats
the problem: Where does it exist and how can I access it? There shoud be a
directory named _netware, but there is no possibility for me to open it.
Who can help me? Thanks a lot for any advice.

So I got hold of Personal Netware instead. It works fine too, but this
one does not want to map my CD juke on the server, it says that it can't
map CD-ROM's. Is this a joke?
NvLite did it without any problems, anyone has any ideas?
