Hello Robert!
Tuesday December 23 1997 15:10, Robert Denbeigh wrote to All:
Do you realy need 100% up time? Or is it ok if the network is down for a few
seconds to a few minutes? The Novell SFT3 system is verry sensitive to
differences in hardware, also if the problem is software it will probably
bring
down both servers because they are running the same software.
An other option is Vinca Standby Server, it's even recomended by Novell if
ou
don't realy need the 100% up-time. Vinca's product is a second server which
holds the mirror disks. Just as with SFT3 you need an extra hi-speed link
between both servers. If the primary server fails the backup server will take
over. However this will take little while because the standy server is
ormaly
running on a 2 user licence, it now needs to reboot and mount all disks while
running with the normal licenses. This rebooting may take a while depending
n
what kind of hardware you've got. The big advantage today with the 32bit
client
software is that users may, if properely instructed, not loose any
nformation
even when in mid transation. The 32bit client will automatically reconnect to
the new server and complete the transaction getting verry close to what SFT3
will do for you.
The big advantage is that the standby server can be anything that will do the
job, it may even be an ols server you're no longer using beacuse it's to slow
for every day usage. As a backup that may not be a problem. Also you can have
1
backup server for 3 or 4 other servers. Any server that fails will be taken
over
by the backup server, provided of course that there is not more than one
failure
at a time.
There are many more features, just visit www.vinca.com and see for yourself.
No experience with SFT3 but Vinca does the job just as well for most people.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello,
I have a problem that has downed our drafting dept from printing.
We were running AutoCAD R12 for DOS; however, since R14 requires
Windows 95, we had to upgrade our systems.  We presently have 2
servers running Novell Netware 3.12.  All of the drafting machines
are on one server.  The inkjet plotter is connected via a parellel
cable from one of the drafting machines, and we used the command
Rprinter cad-ps 1 in the autoexec file.  Everything was fine.
Now, with win95, it states that rprinter is no longer supported.
However, a FAQ sheet said to use the printer agent that is on the
windows 95 cd.  I installed this as it mentioned, but nothing prints.
The files show up in the Pconsole, but they do not print.
I upgraded the other machines first (leaving the rprinter machine as is),
and everyone was able to print to the inkjet.  Now that I have upgraded
the rprinter machine.  Nothing prints
I appears that the novell print server doesn't know where to send the file.
What did I do wrong?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Write your reply.

assistant: RPRINTER is not supported in Win95. The suggestion in the early days
was to use Microsoft's File and Print Services to print, meaning you'd
have Novell's client for working with the server, and Microsoft's
client for peer-to-peer communication to handle printing.
With the release of Client32, you now have the ability to use NPRINTER,
and you can configure NPRINTER to look at NetWare 3.12 print queues as
well as NetWare 4.x print queues. When installing NPRINTER, configure
it to support bindery services.
I think you can get a copy of NPRINTER and Client32 from the Novell web
site.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Hans,
It is possible to let Windows'95 act like it is some kind of
Novell Server (only possible if there is a real server on the
network like Novell or Windows NT), so that Novell clients can
map a volume on that Windows'95 station. The volume will not
appear as a volume of your Novell-server but as a volume on
another (fake-novell) server.

Martin.

Neighborhood'  As supervisor, I can move files between workstations, adjust

Then, I installed Novell IntranetWare Client to my workstations.  Now nobody
shows up in 'Network Neighborhood' and I can't move files betweeen
workstations, I can't 'logon' to the other workstations, etc.
What have I done wrong?

When you use Novell�s Client32 for W95, you can use the Nprinter for
windows95, that is downloadable from the internet (NPTR95.EXE or so), and on
all thios NW4.11 or intranetware CD�s...
That only works more or less with thge microsoft client for netware, and you
need to configure a printserver with pconsole for every printer you want to
use via this method. On your w95 CD in the admin subdir, there is a �service�
you need to install, that acts as a printserver on the w95 machine for one
printer. It works most of the time, but locksup the machine too, sometimes...
You could leave an old machine in DOS-mode running rprinter, or perhaps even
pserver.exe as a printserver. Or you could buy a standalone printserverbox
(like a HP-jetdirect-box, or intel netport or something similiar fronm
another manufacturer)...
Did you specify on your remote printer client machine from what printserver
to get the data ? Noteh that the nmicrosoft software for this is very
primitive. The Novell Nprinter way works much beter, but requires the Novell
Client32. Together that is many megabytes of software to download...

Nothing. The IntranetWare Client allows workstations to talk to
IntranetWare servers... period. It isn't designed for peer-to-peer

installed to permit both kinds of networking.
