assistant: I need some help on a problem.
I run Novell IntraNetWare 1.00
It comes with Netware 4.11, I have 5 OLD Ne2000 compable cards, the
ne2000 driver that comes with 4.11 will not use these cards, it always
says hardware conflict, I pulled out every board in my computer, execpt
what I need to run the server, execpt the net card of course, I use a
Dell 486/dx50 with 16 megs ram. I've try EVERY address and IRQ that the
net card and/or the net OS will support, all with the same results.
The ne2000 driver is dated 9/96. I decided to try a older driver dated
4/94 from a Netware 3.12, and it works fine! But, the older driver
dosn't support TCP/IP, which I NEED for the Web Server 2.51.
What should I do?
I hate to go buy NetWare Connect 2.0 and port the whole network to
modems, Net and Web access! it cost around 500.00 for 2 nodes, I run 4
and will have 16 really soon, a 16 node version I heard is over 4 grand!
HELP!
any ideas?
thanks

assistant: err, you can't login because it has no user accounts in the system,
3.XX and 2.XX kept all it's config info in a bindery type database,
4.11 uses a NDS type database for it's config data,
I.E. You can't log in because 4.11 is looking in it's newer NDS
database, and there's nothing there for users...
1 part of the "big" upgrade job was to convert your old style database
to the new style database, Which you did not.
ergo, you have a blank user database!

When you install Novell, it should ask you for a password for the Admin

wants a small fortune to tell you how to do it..

Back up SYS to tape (twice) using a backup program that saves trustee

DOS-partition for booting and non-DOS partition for new SYS volume on the new
disk. Format /s new DOS-partition, and copy DOS files to new DOS partition.
Down server, power off and swap SCSI ID's of old SYS volume and new disk.
Boot to DOS, verify that you have booted to the new disk and bring up server.
Load Install and create NEWSYS volume on new disk. Restore from tape SYS
volume  to NEWSYS volume. Make sure that INSTALL.NLM is in c:\server.312,
down server, run server -na, load Install rename SYS volume OLDSYS and NEWSYS
