assistant: Hi Frank,
folks
disk is
 Saw an article on the internet the other day which brought up this
topic. The conclusion was [ I paraphrase ] "there is a gain but it
depends on how fragmented the files are.  The risk in restoring a
production server for fractional gains is questionable"
  In reality one would not use a production server but would use a
test server that under ideal circumstances is a clone of the server.
  It's a lot of work.  The documentation one keeps should contain
performance statistics. Sooner or later somebody will come up with a
finite number on this issue of server disk fragmentation.
   I would trash my 4.1 2-user server and restore it but I know the
disk is not chewed up enough to measure even the smallest gain due to
contiguous block server. I suspect the reality is there comes a point
where any degree of fragmentation makes no further difference given a
particular cpu and memory configuration.
 Thanks for the detailed answer.
Regards
Eric

But only the lower case of these letters are giving me problems. When I
have an object using one of these letters Windows 95 is not able to access

I tried to install the local version (danish) of Office 95. It is almost
working but some of the files and shortcuts are using the lower case

I hope that some of you out there knows a workaround or a solution.

No,  Because that's what the wait statments are for,  It won't be the fastest
thing due to the fact that the 133 or 120 can process the information a bit
faster than the 486 can,  but the 486 is only resonding to request and
replys from and to the workstations.  That's why they call it a FILE server.
Besides,  I just got through up grading a network,  they stuck in a Pentium
120 file server with NW 3.12, and they have 16 Pentium 133 workstations and
a bunch of 386's and 486's,  and it handles the information VERY quickly,
although I thing a Pentium Pro system with Dual 200 Mhz Processors would be
better,  along with a SCSII 3 drive system, But oh well, their money!

I'm looking for some guidance on how to get my backup tape
functioning. The fileserver is a 3.12 with two SCSI hard disks
(500Mb + 1gb), two scsi cd-rom and one scsi DAT tape drive.
The scsi controller is an Adaptec 1542.
Must I load the adaptec NLM?
I've tried sbackup and Palindrome, but both these die if
adaptec.nlm is not loaded and the system does when I do
load the adaptec.nlm.
This was when the fileserver only had eight MB of ram and
was only a 1GB ide hard disk.
It has since been upgraded to 32Mb with the above hardware.
I've also tried the Adaptec ProServe CX Lite, but this
keeps failing as well (without the adaptec.nlm).
Any ideas?

hope somebody can help me.
With NW 4.11, Novell stopped shipping the PSERVER._EXE_ and RPRINTER was
replaced by NPRINTER.
Can anybody tell me how to deal with NPRINTER when using Win95 Clients ?
If I want to, I have to use the 32Bit DOS-Requester and load the NPRINTER
before starting WIin95...that's not the way it could be.
If I configure the Win95 client for SHARING MY PRINTERS, those printers are
accessed directly by the users and not via a printqueue on the NetWare
server. So if this Client is down, all prinjobs are lost, no queuing is
possible.
Is there a way of using the PRINTER SHARING in Win95 Clients as a replacement
for NPRINTER ?
Thank's for your help.
