Write your reply.

assistant: Hello,
If you have experience with the following and/or you know the Novell
Document I need, could you please EMAIL a repy to me as well as
posting it??
==========================================
We have a 2-USER netware 4.10 server that I would like to ATTACH to so
I may practice the administrative duties required (when we get a
larger license).
The problem I am encountering is that the NOVELL site seems to be
oblivious to the follow scenerio:
A windows for Workgroups client - WITH ONLY netware support activated
This WFW machine uses NETX to login and attach to servers.
This WFW machine will NOT LOGIN to the 4.10 server but instead will
ATTACH to the 4.10 server.
I have found nothing that addresses this.
In DOS, NETADMIN.EXE (10/20/94) returns this error:
"TEXTUTIL 4.00-577: The message file found is an incorrect version of
system message file TEXTUTIL.MSG"
In WFW, Netware UserTools (NWUSER.EXE) returns the error "Netware
Driver Not loaded. Load Netware.Drv to run"
But that is NOT TRUE. I have NETWARE.DRV (10/92) loaded- the correct
one to load with NETX clients.
In WFW, NWADMIN.EXE (v4.10.2), an error window pops up, with the
following:
"NWDS - 4.0-575
An error occurred getting your directory Services context.
You default Context will be set to the root
Return Code: 0:30465"
But I do have these net.cfg file settings
NetWare DOS Requester
	FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F
	NETWARE PROTOCOL = NDS BIND
             PREFERRED TREE = FUTUREDONTICS
             NAME CONTEXT = INFORMATION
=============================================
SO, what should I do to remedy this?
Thanks in advance to all who reply.
Sincerely,

assistant: Greetings again, all..
In reference to my previous post, concerning the Adaptec AHA-3985 RAID
adapter
not mounting volumes over 4 Gig drives, in a blaze of foresight,
afterthought,
and sheer persperation, it turns out that with NetWare 3.12, the memory above
16 megs has to be registered before loading the raid drivers, thusly, the
autoexec.ncf has to reside on the dos partition and call the REGISTER MEMORY
statement immediately after the server name and internal ipx number, and
before loading the aha3985.dsk device driver.
whew!
Thanks for bearing with me!

adapter to connect to the Novell network I have.  The Pipeline only has
a 10baset input.  All of my machines are connected via a bnc connector.
I have a few NIC's that have both bnc/10baset connectors.
Q/  Can I mix the 2 types of cable in the NIC?  It would be the coax
inbound to the NIC then 10baset OUT to the PipeLine50.  Also the
terminating resistor still has to be on the BNC connector on the NIC
correct.
Basically In----coax/BNC connector
          out---10baset
Also on these network cards that have both the types of input slots, are
both of the slots (coax/10bast) always hot?
Thanks

assistant: Greetings all..
First off, any assistance is muchly appreciated in advance...
Here is the problem:
NetWare 3.12 server - P-166 Acer AP53 system board - Adaptec 3985 Fast-Wide
Raid controller 96 Megs of RAM - 2 pairs of Quantum 4.3 gig drives mirrored
and duplexed on the raid adapter
Volumes split in 3 sections - Sys = 1.5 Gig; Dev = 1.5Gig; Data = 4.1 Gig
system loads server software fine and mounts SYS without a hitch, but will
only mount one or the other volumes.  it fails to mount the second volume in
the sequence, giving "Cache memory allocator out of available memory" or
something similar...  very baffling at this point.
Checked the RAM, Motherboard, etc. and all seems fine.  still can not mount
other volumes.  Have done everything I can think of (tweaked all the cache
parameters to a fairly full extent.)
Help!
