are your basic PCI cards,  and I think the 39xx series will address the
issue of duplexed drives.  Fwiw,  the xxx0 designates a floppy-less
card,  while xxx2 indicates a card which has the floppy controller on
it.

made security-equivalent to one with Supervisor rights. If one without
Supervisor rights does not exist, there is no one to make an account
equivalent to.
You _can_ lower an Admin account's access rights. An Admin account is simply
a user object with Supervisor rights assigned in a variety of places
(including the [Root]). Those rights can be removed or blocked in NDS, and
the account can be deleted like any other account.

Hi Kurt,
with
Adaptec
     I'm using Adaptec AHA-2940, which is ok for me, the package included
     driver for NetWare 3.x and 4.x. But it only single channel. If you want
     disk duplex, you can buy one more SCSI card or buy a RAID SCSI card
     which is support RAID Level 1 (Duplex). If I remember correctly,
     AHA 3940 have two channel, or AAA-13x RAID card are both PCI SCSI.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Frank!
Perhaps you know of a solution to this dilemma?
I have a NetWare 4.11 Server running on my LAN. The Client software is
running on the Win95 machine at my desk.
BTW: This LAN is in my house. I am the only one with access to it. Before you
think I am losing my mind <grin>, I am a CNA-4/MCSE in training.
The problem: When Win95 boots it stops at the Novel Client window and asks
for a password. I know how to disable the password. Do you know of a way to
insert a keypoke so that the Client software will continue to log me on to
the Win95 desktop? This is the machine that runs my mailer. Stopping for a
password is not in the plan.

assistant: *** Quoting Edgar Mckinney to Rich Wonneberger dated 09-29-97 ***
Yes, each work station can access the server all at once, or any that are
turned on can access it.  The only dis-advantage to this setup is if -any- of
the cables get cut or damaged everyone could loose access to the server.
Cant help ya on the web server part, dont have 4.11 yet.

Well, you could switch to the Microsoft client (shrug, no nds) and use

Actually I know that works if you're using microsoft networking so that might

Write your reply.

assistant: The file server object has the same abilities/limitations as other NDS
objects, including the ability to block the Supervisor object right by new
trustee assignment or by setting an IRF on the server. Once you cross into
the file system, yes, Supervisor cannot be blocked, but BEFORE you cross over
you can block it.
This ability was created to permit someone to be made a container
administrator, without requiring that person to be the server administrator.
Before you block the supervisor object rights to the server, you need to make
a trustee assignment for someone at that server, granting supervisor object
rights, so the server can be administered. This is also true with containers,
although the server is not a container.

user: You are replying to All about "Two PCI NE2000".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi All!
I administer a NW 4.11 LAN with a couple of servers, one of those has two
NICs.
Those used to be two ISA NE2000 NICs up to one week ago, then I changed them
to a couple of PCI Genius NE2000 Boards.
Everything worked fine, I was requested to put a number for each board so the
system could distinguish between them, so the autoexec.ncf said something
like this:
=== Cut ===
LOAD PCISRV BOARD=1 FRAME=ethernet_802.3  NAME=PCISRV_1_E83
LOAD PCISRV BOARD=1 FRAME=ethernet_802.2  NAME=PCISRV_1_E82
LOAD PCISRV BOARD=2 FRAME=ethernet_802.3  NAME=PCISRV_2_E83
LOAD PCISRV BOARD=2 FRAME=ethernet_802.2  NAME=PCISRV_2_E82
BIND IPX PCISRV_1_E83 NET=1
BIND IPX PCISRV_1_E82 NET=11
BIND IPX PCISRV_2_E83 NET=2
BIND IPX PCISRV_2_E82 NET=12
=== Cut ===
Now the problem is: I want to load the TCP/IP stuff to put this things ready
for an Intranet, so I loaded INETCFG and configured the boards.
INETCFG doesn't recognize this BOARD=X switch, so it was removed and the
system does not boot properly. I changed it manually on NETINFO.CFG and now
works fine but it gives me a CRC error each time I load INETCFG and it
removes any manual changes I have done.
So I go and add the BOARD=1 or 2 again and works..
I can go on like this but I guess there should be an easier solution.
Anybody knows?
Thanks for listening

We are converting machines for DOS 6.22 & Novell, to Windows 95 loging into

command.  When the login script gets to the first Novell drive it asks for
the username & password again.  If we set the windows login to novell instead
of Windows, they dont get this.  Is there a way to send the Windows login
info (already entered) thru the login script to the Novell server with Login,
or Attach so the user doesnt have to enter his name & password twice??
