where can i find a 32 bit version?
could, tried it, gives an error

so no, i moved it up :-)
just a thought
when logging in do i login to the network first and then to nt
or is it the otherway around?
if it is network first you have no rights on the nt machine, yet

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Richard!
You set that in MONITOR - SERVER PARAMETERS - TIME - Timesync hardware clock
ON
Remember you should set WRITE PARAMETERS ON to save the configuration file
for the next boot and set RESTART FLAG ON to set the changes inmediattely.
If you set it OFF the server keeps setting the time on the CMOS each poll, if
you set it ON the server reads it each poll without changing it.
Fine, that's OK.

assistant: Charles,
Thanks for letting me and all others here in on this information. I have been
on www.novell.com a number of times and have, unfortunately, never seen the
area where this was available. I'm sure that I simply didn't look close
enough. You can bet that I will look closer the next time I get on the site.
I had already ordered the copy from Novell several days ago and it came on
two CDs with no diskettes. I had understood that it would come with two
diskettes but apparently I misunderstood what the folks at Novell told me. I
was also told that the two CDs came with limited online documentation which I
thought for the price involved was more than fair, as I really didn't expect
any docs at all. Just proves that Novell really tries to take care of folks
that do business with them and, in my opinion, thats impressive, for sure!
)
If you don't mind, how did you utilize the three copies of v4.11? I would
like to think that you could put up a dedicated server and a total of six
workstations. Is this possible or am I dreaming again? Let me know when you
get a chance. Again, thanks very much.
Till next time....take care and have a good "un! :-)

I have never claimed to be a FIDO expert, so I just mentioned the problem,
and attempted to provide information which might help a more knowlegeable

Since I haven't seen any other dupes, I assume that it was just a glitch in

If you have diskless, why cant you map C: to the server and run things from

lot of files read only to share them..  If the BBS s-ware must have its own

Mike, this came up as a result of my question regarding the source of the
time in a basic setup. With NW 3.12 I use a synctime patch that pulls the
server time in line with the CMOS clock. On that machine the software clock
runs about 10 sec per day fast and the CMOS clock about 1 sec per week slow,
obviously a better choice. Without the patch NW 3.x runs fast and with the
patch the time is acceptable.
With NW 4 the secondary servers will sync to a reference server, no problem,
but I was trying to establish whether a single reference server would run to
CMOS time or to software time, the latter inherently dependant on the
frequency of the clock controlling the timer interrupt. I will be happier if
after upgrading to NW 4.1 the single reference runs true to the CMOS clock,
100% accuracy is not required, but reasonable accuracy is. Whether this is
the case, I do not know, hence the question. The answers received do not
answer the question.
BTW: The BBS synchronises its time to the same server daily.
BTW: After writing this is saw an answer to my question. Thanks.

assistant: In a message of <03 Aug 1997 20:39>, Randy Risher (1:106/2000) writes:
Whether an application prints to a local printer or to a network printer
depends on the capture status which is set with the capture command. Any
printer port (Lpt1, Lpt2 or Lpt3) can be captured to a network queue, or left
local. If local, and the application directs printing to that port, it prints
locally, if captured, the print will be via the network.
On the server you create a printer queue and a printer server and associated
printers using the pconsole utility. The queue will receive the print jobs
from the workstation and the print server which can run on the file server
(for NW 2.x it is a VAP process) or on a remote workstation. The print server
has printers defined and these will then service the aforementioned queues.
The printers can be attached physically to the print server (or file server
if the VAP is running) or they can be remote and attached via a workstation
whose printer ports are also captured to the queue. To enable a VAP on NW 2.x
the VAP file is placed in the system directory of the SYS: volume. A remote
print server loads an executable file that causes it to connect to the file
server. The file is Pserver.exe for the remote and Pserver.vap for the file
server. All the above are delivered with the NW 2.x software, although
patched and enhanced versions are available for download from Novell's
website and some BBS systems such as this one (see below).
However, the above is a VERY brief summary of the process. It is all
described fully in those red books that came in the box with the software.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
        Richard.
