From: "Ed" <epekol@circad.com>
Does anyone know why this happens?: I'm running win95 on a workstation, and
when I try to map certain drives through Network Neighborhood when logged
in to NDS through client32, I can see both my server (i.e. server1) and
also the tree and context.  If I try to map the drive from a list below the
context, I get the message no network path found even though the volume is
shown.  This only happens with certain volumes, not all of them.  If I
login through bindery, the tree and context are not shown, but double
clicking on the server1 icon shows all the drives, and I can map any of
them with no problems.  This is a problem because I need to map the drives
going through NDS in order to run Arcserve manager and NW admin, etc. Note,
this does not seem to be a problem when using a NT4 workstation, however,
but can't get Arcserve to run on NT4 yet.
 Thanks for your help in advance, and have a terrific holiday!!

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi,
we've upgraded our Novell 2.15 -> 4.11, but I didn't run the
(complicated) upgrade procedures, only installed the server.
Now the connections are properly connected (I'm at F:\LOGIN),
but it's not possible to login at supervisor to continue with
setting up our groups etc.
Do we really have to do the FULL upgrade or did I forget something ?
Or with which login-name/password should I do the first login
on the server after installation ?
Thanx for any help,
Richey

    I am having a problem installing NetWare ver. 3.12 ( two user version).
Everything appears to load properly until it comes time to mount the volume.
After creating the SYS volume I select MOUNT.
    I get a error message that says "The selected volume cannot be located".
I
have tried this several times with the same results.
    I ran VREPAIR and received a message that says "There are no volumes
defined".

1.  Looking at Monitor's Lan Information there's a list of statistics. One of
them is "Send OK but Defered:". On my 3.12 14 user network the number shown
is 8 after 4 days of running. Is this good, bad or just ugly? I don't
understand this and can't find it in the manual.
    What does this mean, is a packet taking a detour? And if it is what is
causing this?
2.  When starting up the network with SERVER a lot of msgs race over the
console. How can I capture these msgs in a file or redirect them to a
inter?
    Any advice and comments are welcome, thanks in advance.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All
On our school we 2 Novell networks,
  1 with Novell 3.11 for the administration,
  and a new Novell 4.1 for in a classroom.
Both run ipx.
Now I want to connect them together.
In the 4.1 server I have 3 NIC's, two for the classroom and
the 3th one is spare on the moment to connect to the other
3.11 server. The 2 NIC's in the classroom are using 802.2
protocol. The 3th NIC and the 3.11 server are using 802.3 as
protocol and the network adress for both is 00000001.
I know that I can connect them, but at the moment I coudn't
find out how to set off the timeserver from the 3.11
network. The 4.1 server has it's own timeserver, which I want
to use for both networks. What must I do to connect the
servers together safely ??? The computers which do not login
in the 4.1 server, do they stil get the time from the 4.1
timeserver ???
The students on the two networks in the classroom are not
allowed to get on the 3.11 server. By using 3 NIC's I did
split them up, but I believe that Novell 4.1 can work as a
router between these NIC's. Is it possible to switch this
router off ??? It's no problem as the two networks in the
classroom are not routered as well.
Kind Regards,

Write your reply.

assistant: Yet another test - getting out (the last 3 copies didn't)..
But to not get yelled out, this is actually a *REAL* message...  Our
company has 2 offices. The satellite office spends so much time on the
modem to the main office that a leased line (or something) between the
two would be CHEAPER!  Question is, what do I need to connect the
satellite office to the main office's Novell Netware 3.12 network? What
hardware? What software?  I'm sure there are many different approaches
to this puzzle.  I'd like to hear as many different methods to solve
this as possible.
[ Dave ]
ps...  I already have a Shiva Lanrover-E, 4 port, with 2 ports
available. This might be one possible solution but it would only allow
a single workstation in the satellite to access the network (or would it
allow more?).  It's also possible that this aporoach would require the
purchase of a second shiva unit for the satellite office.  Anyway, I
don't know much about this either so I'm looking for suggestions.
