I bought it and studied it like crazy.  It's a decent book, but "The Big

if you use this to copy everything. If it is only a bunch of data to copy you

1	Orange
2	Orange/white
3	Blue
4	Blue/white
5	Brown
6	Brown/white
7	Green

USA110 mounting technique to ISo/IEC 11801 standard: maximum untwist of the

It seems you confused the green and the brown pair.

1 You alredy have bindery context at server.

2 Go to DOS workstation.
  Make shure that you have in net.cfg next line:
  NETWARE PROTOCOL = NDS BIND
3 Do not setup any printers by PCONSOLE
4 Give share names to printer and disks.
5 Run LOGIN.EXE SHARE_NAME/USER_NAME /NS
  The /NS swith is wery important. With it you are attaching to server, not

  Share_name - name of Windows95 workstation.
That`s all.
For example: let`s printer share name PR1 , disk c: share name is SHARE_C
  Use map.exe h:=SHARE_NAME/SHARE_C:
  Use printcon.exe to configure network printer.
