Write your reply.

assistant: Speaking from experience, I have seen more than one resume with a
history of non-computer related jobs and then see the "CNE" notation.
What does that tell you. I would not hire this person as my network
engineer with any prior networking experience. But, after an interview,
I may hire him at a lesser position and give him the opportunity to
learn the ropes, so to speak.
I, personally, would sooner hire someone with 5 years of hands-on
experience than someone with no experience and a piece of paper saying
he passed a test. And, I'm sure I'm not alone with that feeling.
Each interviewer / reviewer, I'm sure, has his / her own critieria for
hiring any potential applicant.
So am I. I start NetTech on Monday.
I passed the CNA last year but had been ACTIVELY working with networks
since Netware 286. I just figured it was a good time to put some
initials after my name. It DOES look better on the resume when you
couple those letters with some hard experience. ;)
And now that my company has offered for me to go for the CNE, I thought
it would be a great opportunity for me to add some more impressive
letters after my name.
I don't know that there are any stats on this out there on this. I know
of a couple of such people but they are NOT working AS CNE's.
I'd like to hear from those who never worked on a network before, took
(and passed the CNE) and then went to work as a Network Admin /
Engineer.

As I understand it, Netware 3.12 comes with a Basic MHS, which works in a
single-server environment.  For multiple servers you'll need a Global MHS,
which would cost more (beyond the cost of Netware itself).  If you have a
single server, you'll probably still need some sort of MHS <-> SMTP (or UUCP)
gateway program.

I'm having trouble getting  a D-Link DE-950 print server running on

The first time I tried to use it (ie send a file to the queue) it crashed

It does not do that any more. Instead the printer stops after a minute or so
then the server puts up an error message saying there is a problem with
the packets.
Anyone got any ideas?

Write your reply.

assistant: Ran into a problem with novell 4.12 and a scsi harddrive.
The system is a amd 586_133, 32 megs ram, 1 internal 1gig scsi (vol1)
and 2 external scsi 1 gig drives. Also have a ide 1 gig internal.
The system is connected by a 100mbit arcnet (TC) to 9 systems
and a 3.12 server with 10bT.
The 2 external scsi drive vol 2 and 3 were added 6 weeks ago and
were working fine when all of a sudden vol2 quit working.
Went to rebuild vol2 but shut down before novell finished.
Tried switching cables and terminator with no luck.
Here's the strange part. Turn off vol3 drive and vol2 drive reappears
intact with all file areas. Turn on vol3 and vol2 disappears again.
I did noticed on vol3 that some files byte are not being displayed
correctly like some files report size of 400 to 800 MEGS big.
Novell didn't find anything wrong with this drive even tho files
are corrupted on vol 3.
I need some help on how to get vol2 back and working
Your help will be appreciated.

Write your reply.

assistant: I'm at home, The computer is at work, I can't send the autoexec right now.
The CDROM is loaded in autoexec as part of the normal config.
The dial-in client runs from its own batch file, and I tried it from the
command line. If I load the LSL IPXODI & DIALODI from the command line and
then load the VLM's then immediately try to unload the VLM's they won't
unload. ???? I can play with it some more and if you're suggesting the CDROM
drivers might have something to do with it I can eliminate them in the
testing. I'm guessing that something is recapturing an interupt vector after
the VLM's load, but I don't know what.....

assistant: Hello All!
While checking the new client32 release, I found out that ethertsm.nlm is
broken...
With this nlm, you cannot load the boarddriver twice (e.g. when you need a
second frametype) from the commandline, the second load fails. When you load
the boarddriver without parameters and answer two questions (use anotehr
frametype=Yes and select the frametype (ethernet_ii in my case), it works,
but that is not a solution for me.  I used cne2000.lan as the boarddriver.
Using ethertsm.nlm from the C3295N_1 (win95 clientkit) solved the problem,
but I gues that this is unsupported...

Logging in to a server requires the Netware Client SDK (Software Development
Kit), available from Novell.
This is because the server requires an encrypted login (unless disabled,
which is a bad idea), and encrypted logins uses encryption code licenced from
RSA, which AFAIK, is only available in the Netware SDK.
Last time I checked, it was available on CD for about $200, and at one time
came with the $50 2 User NW 4.10 Development CD.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi! I have a Compaq Prolinea 5120e desktop pc with a 3COM Etherlink NIC
running Windows NT 3.51 Workstation with Client Service for Netware.  So
far, without using a Windows login script, I have been able to use
Window's File Manager and Print Manager to connect to the Netware
server' file and print services respectively with the same user name and
password that I used to log on to Windows NT 3.51 Workstation.  However,
with network drives and network print spools disconnected through
Window's File Manager and Print Manager respectively, I still can not
close the session in the Netware server when I log off from Windows NT
3.51 Workstation.  I discover this problem when I log on to Windows
again and try to re-establish connections to the Netware's network
drives and print spools.  Due to the Netware server's setup, I get a
message in Windows saying that no more than one session per user is
allowed.  Ideally, I need to be able to have the Netware server close
all network resource connections and clear the user's session to zero as
I log off from Windows NT 3.51 Workstation. I would really appreciate if
someone can e-mail me and post the solution to this problem ASAP!
