Write your reply.

assistant: To all CNA/CNE's out there:
    I am currently helping out with the network administration of a school
district out this way.  We are having a small problem with a network timeout
failure on the system that is currently running Novell NetWare 3.11.
    We are using Novell NetWare 3.11 and IBM Classroom Administratration
system (ICLASS) and what is happening is this.  When a users uses the
unction
to passthru to another file server, and sits at the passthru screen for more
than two minutes, a message comes up saying:
SHELL-332-80: Network Error on Server Science. Connection no logner valid.
Abort, Retry?
Anytime a user then hits "A", a message displays:
Batch File Missing
Then the system drops the user into the F:\LOGIN> Directory.  I looked for
he
missing batch file in all the network startup files but could not find it
anywhere.  To anyone out there who could help us fix this small problem, it
would be great assistance to us and to the school district.
                                  Thank you for your time,
                                  Chris Schoppy

At the novell FTP site (FTP.novell.com) you can get a W95 uninstaller for the
client32 for windows. You can get it in the directory:
pub\updates\nwos\cl32v211
I'm not sure about the last part of the directory structure, but it is
somewhere overthere!
No thanks at all!
Why do you want to remove the stuff anyway?

Write your reply.

assistant: I have 2 4.1 servers that I've installed, and I've basiclly followed the same
install proccess on both except I merged the 2nd one into the tree. For some
reason my DNS tree shows a NOV410 volume attached to the second server that I
didn't create and can't access. I thought it might be a CD-Rom, but I'm not
running cdrom.nlm right now. I loaded cdrom.nlm and purged the list but the
object is still there. I've run dsrepair and have the latest patches I'm
aware of installed. I did load the system from CD if thats any help. The
object is not deleteable from NDS. Any Ideas?

Write your reply.

assistant: I have a mixed env. with both 3.12 & 4.10 servers. The 4.1 server are across
the wan (ISDN) from my location. When I use VLM's the clients always find the
Prefered Server that I put in Net.cfg, but when I use Client32 I can find the
4.10 servers most of the time, and the 3.12 servers come up with a warning
about my NIC cards or cableing. The 3.12 servers do work sometimes, but not
others and there is no pattern to when they work. The binded protocols are
correct. The problem seems to be client32 but whats wrong? I'm using 3COM
NIC's on the client's and both the install and when I step through the
startnet.bat (Command /y/c startnet.bat) there are no error messages. These
are ISA cards. Anyone have any thoughts?

     Hi All !!!
   I have a problem with my FUJITSU Magneto Optical drive.
 It needs to be used with the NW 4.10 server, but no any software
 was provided with it at all.
   FUJITSU IFD-1300-A is a 5.25" external SCSI MO drive and a server
 is a IBM PC Server 320 with SCSI-2 Fast/Wide PCI and RAID controller
 on channel 1. MO drive attached to a channel 0 and NW can determine
 it while loading. I tried to use a SCSIMO.CDM but it needs any SCSI
 Host Adapter Module to be loaded before. When I try to load one, it
 can't find any SCSI adapter al all. There are some loaded drivers:
   ASPICD
   IBMRAID4
   RAIDASP4.
 So I have a few questions:
 1. Why it goes on?
 2. What drivers I should use?
 If anybody can help my, please write to this echo or to
 E-mail: 0800@04500000.ROSMAIL.COM
                                            Good bye.
