You are right, to add a 5 user licence, I had to delete the 2 user, add the 5
user and then add the 2 user back.. That way, I got my 7 users..

     Well, in all technicalities the 2-user copies you receive free are for
"DEMO - Evaluation Usage" and are not meant for a way to get around buying a
Licensed copy. I was told that they cannot increase the size of the server by
adding on another 2-pak. Not sure about the 2-pak plus a Licensed copyfor say
it would give you a 7-pak (5 Licensed + 2 "DEMO - Eval").

Yeah--and you can even take further advantage of your 2-user version of
Novell on a NT network by installing the NT Novell/Gateway services;
which only uses 1 client license and allows all NT clients to access the
Novell drives by using NT as the gateway.  It's pretty cool; although
there is a slight performance hit, but nothing really noticeable.

something fairly simple that needed doing at the console, like loading

I typed "HELP" at the prompt, and discovered a lovely command (can't remember

I'm at the same spot you are at right now.  I feel that you are best to start
at the 3.12 level and get some certification to "break" away from the rest of
the wannabe's.
This is true.  The CNE certification will very soon require the 4.1 level
testing instead of the 3.1x.
You should be able to install 3.12 on Win 3.11 as the upgrade to Win95 will
accept this over to the new platform.  But, if you are going to upgrade right
away, you might as well upgrade the Windows first and install 3.12 after.

Which revision of the client are you using?
Are you doing your drive mappings in your system login script, your user
login script, using Win95 Exploder, or externally (i.e. batch file)?
We noticed some really screwy things when we upgraded our 3.12 servers to
4.10 with Client32.  Upgrading to the latest version of the client fixed most
of them.  The rest was getting the scripts and Exploder to map things the way
we wanted them.

Write your reply.

assistant: Would be nice to practice configuring the "DEMO" version until you get it
right and then put the "real" license on the system.
I was hoping to increment with the license from say, 4.11 admin. class? I'm
running 4.1 on those right now. Two is enough for me to eveluate various
configurations here at home.
Thinking about using that Multi-Protocol Router feature and having it connect
to my internet provider and then I can have "IntRA Net at home"! He heh..!

Write your reply.

assistant: Hai,
That would work.
But ...
the drawback then would be that all pc's then woould have to use the capture
command and all programs would have to print to lpt1 and not directly to a
queue.
I prefer applications to print directly to a queue and not use capture at
l.
So for the time being this particular user, who prints to the other printer
most of the time must make the switch in
the setup of the application himself when working on that other machine.
