user boots cold into the network, then it executes and all is fine. But if
they log out and then log back in, the script does not get executed. Under
DOS is fine, this just occurs under Windows. Gremlins in the script

assistant: Frank,
  you would have thought I would have known that one wouldn't you?  Is
that listed anywhere in the 14 plus or minus manuals that came with
Novell 3.12?  One minor annoyance I would like to find out about.  I
have 3.12 on diskette.  Somewhere I have a price sheet, that says
replacement of these diskettes is only done by replacing all of them. No
problem there, as I can understand that.  But, the price sheet says
something like they cost $169.95 to replace.  Wow, on which planet does
Novell come from?  Don't you think that's a might bit high?  Oh well,
like I said just a minor grievance.

problem and I am a happy camper.  If I now could only get Macintosh to
see the Apple Laserwriter 320 as part of the network setup.  Sees the
drives just fine but, has never come close to seeing the printer.  Ain't

    I am not a CNE, but here's an idea for you. ( I have been to two
    CNA classes and they were "mucho" bucks.)  You could get a 2 PC
    version of Netware 4.1 and set it up at home or work an play with
    it and read some books.  Nothing like the real world experience to
    help, but perhaps if you knew the 2 user version inside and out,
    you would have a reasonable chance.  Good luck.

From the book called , NetWare 4.1

Printed by Osbourne McGraw-Hill 926 pages
and that is written on page 290.
I my self dont think that PCI 32 Bit is right 132 Mb/sec and 264/Mb/sec
I think the EISA/isa 32bit is about right, I run a wangtex 1.2 gig sczi
tape drive and that sits at 16.50MB/sec  and the tape drive cant keep up.
I have to put the setting on asynchonous transfer mode to make it work,
or, after about 250 Megs it gets over run   and the system grinds to a halt.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello David,
urse
Why RJ-45 and not BNC ?
Problems ?  I alway using a Coax BNC configuration, and i have no problems
at all... Coax is also more flexlibler for expanding the network later.
With RJ-45 and a 5 port hub, you limit is 5 workstations on that moment,
and you need a lot of cable more. Maby a RJ-45 network is faster, but i
can't see a difference. I prefer to spent more mony for a good NIC, this
is most of all the bottleneck on the server....
Nice networking !

If you have hardware on Irq 15, I would suggest moving it to another

Lost Hardware Interrupts can be quite benign, Novell's NSEPro isn't much
help, as it simply suggests using a SET command to turn off the messages
it generates.
It could be an early sign that one of your peripheral components, such
as an I/O card, is going bad.
