assistant: Hey all..
I'm just starting out in networking and need some advice..
We've got a network at school and I've been helping set it up with the
teacher.
As I've only had limited experience in this field I don't totally know what's
happening.
So if there is anyone out there who knows where I can get hold of some info
about setting up / using networks I would really appreciate hearing from you.
(btw.. the system we're using is an NT server with 9 clients running Win 95..
we're using a star hub with the server acting as the print manager..)
Once again thanx....

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All
In the novell dos/s on the 4.11 CD, there is a statement that everyone shoudl
convert to the NWPA-HAM drivers instead of the DSK drivers. Well, with my
aha-1540 I tried it, but the drivers includes by novell have NO documentation
at all (SCSI154X.,HAM, SCSIHD.CDM, SCSICD.CDM or NWASPI.CDM)...
One problem is that AHA1540/ASPICD dupport LUN's for my CD-rom changer, but
the HAM/CDM version does not, or only via a hidden cmd-liune switch.
Who knows more ?

assistant: Hello Mike!
Replying to a message of Mike Bilow to Soeren Hedemand:
It's an Adaptec ACB-2320D, and acording to the documentation, I'm supposed to
use ISADISK.DSK for it.
That's it exactly. The BIOS on the motherboard only has support for the
primary controller. To make it work under DOS, I would have to dig out a
devicedriver from somewhere. Any ideas?
Under OS/2 I use(d) the IBM1S506.ADD driver, which worked just fine, as long
as I specified the geometry in CONFIG.SYS. How do I do it under NetWare?

user: You are replying to All about "Network 4.11 available directory blocks.23:54:2405/22/97".

Write your reply.

assistant: We have been having problems with several of our 4.11 servers running out of
Directory blocks.. The error is "Error Expanding servername/volume: total
directory entries exceeded".
In looking at SERVMAN, I was showing around 60,000 used entries on our 8 gig
SYS: partition.  There were still plenty left according to SERVMAN.
I then upped the value of "Total Available Directory Space" from the default
of 13, to 35.  This should use up to 35% of the volume for directory entries.
 It stopped the error, but I just wonder what keeps writing to our SYS
volume.
I know nothing is set to write there, no print jobs, etc.  Since Novell 4.10
and up only purge files when they are below 3% left of free space, it seems
that is causing our directory limit problem.
Anyone else have this?  Any ideas, or info appreciated.
