assistant: [Howard Lawrence was recently overheard saying to All...]
I use Windows 95 and Novell 4.1? at work.  I use the NDS Client for
connecting to the server.  If you install Windows 95, you will need to tell
it which card you have installed.  In this case, I installed Windows 95
(Rev. B) and used a Novell NE-2000 Ethernet driver, though, I am using a
Kingston NE-2000 card, which there was no driver for.
You will need to use the Microsoft Client for Novell Netware to take
advantage of Windows 95.  Just remember, this is considered a "Client"
in the "Network" module of the "Control Panel".  You will also need
IPX/SPX and NetBUI for your protocols.  NetBUI is not required, but can
do no damage.

assistant: Ah, no. This doesn't work at all. They only end up copying the directory
and it's contents. If we're speaking of the majority of files on a volume,
we're probably also talking about a very quick 'volume out of room' error.
:-(
  It's a very poor solution. I've been told it may be possible to cripple
directory moving at the client by editing a 'policy' which then can control
what my users can do. I have to set up a test machine to try this one out.

assistant: I've been asked to install a faxmodem in a Novell 4.11 server so that it

included modem pooling/sharing out of the box but can so-far not find
any mention of it in the documentation. What do I need to do to share
the modem over the network. Dedicating the modem to a single workstation
is acceptable. Actually, sticking it in a workstation and not sharing it
at all is even acceptable. [:) It'd be nice to share it, though.
Insight appreciated. TIA.

It did work with 3.11 and it works well. I would though recommend the latest
patches (PTG if I remember correctly) and I believe there is a special one
for name space. These can be down loaded from Novell's web site.
Don't forget to add the name space to the volume as well. Just loading the
*.nam file alone is no help. Once the name space is added to a volume, the
.nam file will auto load when the volume is mounted.
Some one said that there is a memory penalty for name space, but this is
small, there is a bigger penalty on disk space, which with our 4 Gig volumes
was about 8.5 Meg.
Hope this helps.

Customer has a Commodore 486 w. Seagate ST3144 (130/125) IDE disk
There is a std. IDE multi-io in it.
DOS Fdisk can see a 125 MB Novell partition
It's a non ded fdd boot installation.
The installation is orig. made late  in 1993
Due to power loss the volume(s) ? wont mount
CONSOLE.COM -> DOS works
CONSOLE.COM -> DOWN works
Workstations attaches to the server
There is no additinal floppy disk w. another ISA disk (or other) driver
VREPAIR from the inst. disk's hangs the machine (Type VREPAIR and you get a
blank screen)
A new VREPAIR linked by me gives the same result and creates an
VREPAIR.EXE of the exact same size
The company that originaly delivered the system is long gone, dead, bankrupt
and forgotten
What to Do, Try, Experiment, what ever ?
The customer is crying, he hates to do fdd based backups, and his
system has worked error from 93' to now, but he skipped doing backups approx.
spring 96' so he's really F***d badly :-(
help & suggestions would be appreciated

3.x to 4.11 Update does _not_ teach design or installation. While many
folks might be able to figure it out, I wouldn't expect those without
the course to recognize all the angles. For instance, if you hadn't
taken the Installation course, you might not know the most efficient

7 or 8 replicas of the same partition is a little much. I presume there

The memory calculation is:

I seek recommendations of low cost color inkjet printers for a 3.12

The demand on this printer will be quite low, as it's a small network

The workstation platforms are a hodgepodge of DOS, WIN3, WIN95 and OS/2.
The customer is so tight he squeaks, so I'd rather hang it off a
dedicated old 386 rather than put it directly on the wire.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

otherwise we recieve a "you are logged in too many times" when we try to

Yeah, I know. But I still keep to my opinion. D&I is harder than the 3 to

assistant: Hi All,
        I've a couple of really simple questions to ask, and I can't find
the info I'm after anywhere!
1)  In simplest terms, what is the difference between or what is:
   a) Ethernet cable compared to thin ethernet.
   b) The cable you plug into a RJ45 connector, why are there catagories?
   c) 10baseT and 10base2, (I think from memory!)
   d) What type of cable would most utilise a server and 5 clients running
   NW 4.11 with 3Com900 network cards? What cable supports 100Mb/s the best?
2) Novell has just released Client 32 2.20 for win95, but I've heard the odd
rummour that it has a few probs using Winword 97. In your opinion is it
worthwhile the upgrade from ver 2?
Thanks for your time :-))
Bye!

I'd forgotten that there were three other CD's in that pack. [:) I'll
