Does any one have an DeFacto ref. for the wiring ? Sorta like
an IEN, RFC-xxxx, "The <IYF-Company> <IYF-Colour> papers" or
something like it.
Both Straight (std) and crossed (adapter - adapter; no HUB)
With/without Half/Full dublex
Does the colour coding have a std. too ?
Sorta like :
- Every colour is defined as follows ... but nobody cares :)
- Pairs (colour & stripe) are always +/-, Rx/Tx ...
And 3 quick ones :
- Apart from price, shouldtnt STP be better ?
- Whats the CAT-6 (SIX) story ? (as opposed to
  CAT-5 / 100 MBit)
- Is it true that by def. u cant make CAT-5 cabling u'r self ?
  (i do all the time, but some say the final cable should be
  mesured w. a specialized instrument)
And to be just a bit on topic. :)
Server: NW-4.11 unpatched
(but using the DEC drv. that came w. the DEC card)
Intel Zappa P120/32MB, EIDE-2.0 Gig (but only 2*500 Vol's
mounted) (Using IDEATA Not the HAM drvr)
Net-1 = 3C509 / 10 MBit IPX & TCP/IP
Net-2 = DEC-500 PCI / 100 MBit IPX
At time of test Only my WS is attached to the server
Free cache buffers = approx. 16 MB
Workstation:
Tyan P166/48 MB AHA-2940 / 5400 rpm scsi disks
Win95 w. Native client (+ MS NDS-Auth & PowerToy auto login)
and similar card (DEC-500)
(Half Dublex crossed cable, 4.3 K max rcv pkts)
In Winfile (the 3.x file mgr) a copy of any file, or directory
structure that is less than 15 Megs, is carried out at
approx 10 MegaBytes pr. sec. (yes.. a directory w. 17 files
of a combined size of 15 Megs takes 1.5 sec.)
If i try to copy say.. a 32 MB file.. the net result is
between 0.9 and 1.3 MB pr. sec.
Thats approx 1/10 of the speed :(((
Whats the story ??????

Hi, I hope somebody can help a newbie..
The server is running Intranetware with NIAS and IPX-Gateway
installed, the clients have Internet Explorer and Cute FTP
installed (and the IPXGateway), which are running fine. Every
time a user enters an URL or opens an FTP connection the
server dials up our ISP and establishes the internet connection.
So far so good!
Now I had to install Eudora Light on the clients, and every
time I perform a "CHECK MAIL", Eudora tells me "network not
available" and the server doesn�t even try to dial up our ISP.
When I start Internet Explorer first (and the internet connection
is already established), Eudora works fine!
Once I tried to change the POP3-server setting in eudora from
xxx.xxx.xx to xxx.xxx.xx:80 (port 80) ... and the server dialed!
Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong, or where I can tell
Interanetware to dial up on a POP3/SMTP-request???
Or do I relly have to buy an email-server-system ???
I would appreciate any kind of help

I need help and I am looking for the best solution!
In the next 8-10 months we are going to install a Wide Area Network
covering the US, Puerto Rico, Santo Domingo and Mexico.  We are having
trouble deciding in using Novell or MS NT in our servers.  We have heard
that Novell is easier to install and maintain than NT, but it is also
running behind in terms of being the best solution for the future.
We are also doing a research on the software we're going to use for our
Enterprise Resource Planning.  We have looked into Geac's Smartstream,
Oracle's Oracle Applications, and SAP America's SAP R/3.  Of these we
have decided in either Oracle Applications or SAP R/3, but the
information I have read about these over the internet has not given me a
clue of which one is the best.  We are looking for ease of
implementation, maintenance, inter operability (between the modules and
third party applications if necessary), upgradeability and as a must of
being user friendly.
I will greatly appreciate any information or reference you can give me
to help me push this project forward.
Thank you,

Write your reply.

assistant: I don't think the problem is with the network side. Some software seems
to have problem telling a stand-alone computer to dial an ISP if the
connection isn't present when launched. I must admit I haven't found
where the software can be told to initiate a connection if one isn't
present, but I have seen it happen both ways.
I don't think you need to change software; you simply need to find that
magic setting.

assistant: I decided to install 4.1 at home to learn about it.
Got it up (basicly) with duplexing no problem.
When I tried accessing the server from a workstation I couldnt see the server
no mater what I do..
I had 3.12 running fine, and printed out autoexec & startup to have the
IRQ's, PORTS, ect handy..
I know the default protocol is 802.2, but am specifying 802.3 on the load
line, which is:
LOAD NE2000 frame=ethernet_802.3 int=c port=300
What I found, if I list the protocol's -before- I load the driver, I have:
Protocol: IPX frame type: Virtual_Lan Protocol ID: 0
After loading NE2000, protocol show's the above virtual_lan also:
Protocol: IPX Frame type: Ethernet_802.3 Protocol ID: 0
Where is the virtual_lan protocol comming from, can it be giving me this
problem, and can I get rid of it??
Or am I barking up the wrong protocol??
FWIW, I cant see the server from DOS, Winbloat-95, or NT.  NT can see both my
W95 machines and such.  I've even swap'd the drop cable as a last effort..
I also do get a connect light on the concentrator anyway..
Any ideas??

assistant: Hi everyone
Our school has just been assigned a range of ip addresses by some government
authority. The range of addresses is 10.85.113.*, with 1-40 for network
devices, servers etc and 41-254 for assigning to PCs.
Now the problem. Our intranetware server has 5 (yes 5) network cards. How do
(i) assign ip addresses to the 5 cards on the server and
(ii) configure DHCP
so that each of the roughly 30 PCs on each segments receives an ip address?
I have tried all sorts of subnet masks to no avail. Is it actually possible
to do the above?
It's no problem with 1 card of course, or if i use local addresses, but the
above has me stumped. NW won't let me bind (say) 10.85.113.11 to one nic in
the server and 10.85.113.12 to another, saying they're on the same subnet.
It seems we need to sub-sub-net if there is such a thing. I browsed thru the
online docs but my i couldn't seem to find an answer to this problem. (the
docs did say something about ripII and variable masks but i couldn't quite
understand it).
Any help appreciated...
