assistant: I can't yet tell WHICH product you are not familiar with.  It would seem
that you know neither.
NDS is simply a utility?
What do you mean by "do the CNE course"?
You must PASS the tests and maintain your certifications, just like all
the rest of us.
Then spend some on some cheap RAM so that the rest of your hardware has
at least a CHANCE to show you some performance for your dollar!

I'm doing my 3 and 4, I've been told to continue with the 3 track then once
I'm CNE3 there's just one more exam to do to become cross-certified in
IntranetWare (4.11 I believe).
They don't have exams in 4.1 any more the replacement exam to become
cross-certified is called "Building Intranets with IntranetWare".
(So no, you don't have to do net tech and serv & supp courses again.)

Hmmm, maybe the Client32 stuff, but I run VLMs straight from the floppy every

XMS + caching, just XMS, or bare DOS. I use th first for normal stuff and the
last when I need to fdisk a drive, after which DOS will reboot. The second I

when I download a diskimage from the server with Ghost as Ghost accesses the

I'm having less success with Win95 though, I can boot it off stiffy OK, but

Hi All,
       I'm studying a networking course, and I have to integrate
       NT and Novell. This task will be base on Novell NDS as
       directory service. NT will be an application server such as
       Connect to internet, Web server, FTP server, DNS and Remote
       Access Server.
       All clients including Win31, Win95, WinNT Workstation and
       OS/2 will be login into Novell NDS.
       NT Server will also accept dial in. I know I can use client32
       to login my NDS. The problems is, can my dial in user login
       to my NDS, if my server install client32???
       Can someone share their professional knowledge with me please!

--This is one for the books <grin>,  at least mine.
I have a Novell 4.11 server and Client32 running on my Win95 machine. It
works great in all areas except one.
When I go to call OUT through the modem to our website, a small screen comes
up and says......You are about to be disconnected from the server. I hit the
connect button, and sure enough, I lose my connection to the server. As soon
as I am connected to the website, I am automatically reconnected to the
server.
In Control panel, Networks, the Dial up adaptor is bound ONLY to TCP/IP. When
Client32 installed itself, it bound IPX to it. I had thought that was the
problem, but no.
What else can I look at?

That is an option that we're prepared to take if we have to, but we
believe that >if< the problem is software related that it will be in a
driver or somewhere in the transport layer or something like that and
not with the operating system itself.
Comspec was one of the first things that I thought of and we played
around with a few ideas with the command interpreter but that didn't
solve the problem.
When we did the installation I had brought a guy in to tailor the cable.
He's between jobs right now so I figgered I was doing him a favour.
After talking with him last night I suspect that he didn't follow the
standard colour-coding when he attached the connectors. I'm going to
roll up my sleeves and get down there myself to see what I can see and
just to make sure that he tried all the things that he said he tried.
