Write your reply.

assistant: What's the purpose of the NT server?  A domain controller to allow for
central administration of domain accounts?  Domain accounts allow domain
users the ability to rove between any NT workstation in the domain.
We've got both Netware and NT servers.  From my standpoint, I'd put both
applications and data on the Netware server.
Netware security administration is more flexible and easier to understand.
Netware allows you to decide exactly what security you need and implement it
directly.  NT security is defined by lowest access controls.  If the group
EVERYONE has only read access to a NT file, doesn't matter how you try to
override it for individuals or groups.
The important thing is to have really solid backup solutions on both servers.

Write your reply.

assistant: If you run it in non-dedicated server mode, yes.
When the server boots up, you load the CD-Rom drivers in the config.sys.
mscdex.exe would be loaded before the server.exe if I remember correctly.
Of course, you are going to be left with very little conventional memory
after loading that and the network.
If you want to run in dedicated mode, you may be out of luck.

Write your reply.

assistant: <<***** Le 08-27-96, Jon Harrison disait � All: *****>>
 You have to upgrade your BIOS if you want to use a hard drive over 512 mb
if you don't have the LBA mode in your BIOS. Usually the big drives come
with programs like Disk Manager that authorize to use them under DOS or WIN
95 without changing the BIOS, but that kind of programs don't work under
Netware.
 I have a friend who wanted to use a 1.6 gig IDE drive under Netware in an
old DEC PC. No upgrade was available for this machine. He found a solution
in buying an ISA card patching the original BIOS for LBA mode, and it works
really good under Netware 3.12.
 I don't remember the name of the company who sells this card, but I know
that you can find advertising for it in the last part of every PC Magazine.
There is a small color add, and it's written something like "the bios
specialist".
 Good Luck
 Eric

There are have two small LANs connected with leased line (modems at the speed

to three minutes. Server is almost idle all the time. There is no traffic on

        When the tape back (Arcada v7.0) or Mail (send.exe) message hits my
        Win95 work station (supervisor's), that session of Win95 will lockup
        and the only way to get out of it is to re-boot to clear this
        condition.
        I thought by creating a start up "CASTOFF" would clear this, but to

        Anyone have an idea on how to disable messages like this on a

two drives, set as SYS, VOL1 and VOL2, 24 megs of memory.
    I cannot seem to get the CD initialized under Novell and I have no
doubt its from lack of experience.
    The CD is scene from DOS as my D: drive.  I can load CDROM at the :,
but what the heck are the commands after that and where do you obtain
the parameters.
    I've tried the CD MOUNT but where do I get No. and then vol name and
the rest.  I've obviously missed something.
