trustee rights.  Your backup software should be able to do that, unless
it is not meant to be used with Netware.  See if there are options to do

Write your reply.

assistant: If you want to solve the problem quickly, you'll need to use DSREPAIR. You'll
first want to fix all other partition problems or any replica problems,
because of the risk of propogating the problems while fixing the time stamp.
Once the other problems are fixed, you can use DSREPAIR to adjust the time
stamps across the entire network to the current time.
If you are unsure about whether all other problems are fixed before doing
this, it's safer to allow synthetic time to catch up at its own pace.

I have a testing server at home now.. I'm running it under a 486 Cyrix DX2 66
with 32 MB RAM.
I tried to move the server to a Cyrix 6x86 P120+. I just took the HDs and the
RAM from the 486 and put them in the 6x86, but when it boots, it runs DOS and
starts the SERVER.EXE and then hangs with the error :
Multiple Abends - Processor Halted.
This happens before loading anything, it stops inmediately after loading the
server.exe.
Is there a problem with this processor? Any help?

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Everyone,
As someone who has only dabbled with fixing and configuring a few LANs,
I'd appreciate some more enlightened opinions...
A friend suggests that gaining CNE points is nowhere neer as important
for job-placement as it once was. He reckons that Win's NT4 is so close
in performance to Novell (3.12?), that it's likely to take over almost
all of the market in the coming years. My own experience of NT4 is that
it's *very* much more stable than WIN95, but seems to have a 3Gb
partition limit if one comment is to be believed.
TIA,
Dave

user: You are replying to Mike Bilow about "NW 4 Time synching".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Mike (or anyone else that knows the answer)
My cuurent setup is in a state of lux, but recently my network had a NW 3.12
server running on a 486 DX 4/100 with 48M RAM, 4G hard drive split into 5
volumes and 3 SCSI 2X CD Drives. Also on the network is an OS/2 advanced Warp
server on a 486 DX 2/66 with 32M RAM and a 2G hard drive.
The NW server has evolved over the years from a 286 with 2 * 120M MFM hard
drives on NW 2.2 to the above. The future planning is to upgrade to NW 4.1x
(the x depends on what I can scrounge) and I have installed NW 4.10 2 user
for OS/2 on the warp server with a relatively small SYS volume to provide a
host for the NDS to replicate. I have a borrowed 4.10 server running
additionally to experiment with the NW 4 flavour. Presently the NW 4 for OS/2
is the time reference. The NW 3.12 server has a very stable CMOS clock and
the Sybctime NLM for NW 3.12 causes that server to maintain its time in close
tolerances, which was not the case when it relied on the software clock via
the timer interrrupt.
When the NW 3.12 server upgrades to NW 4 it should also be possible to
synchronise its time to its hardware clock and move the time reference for
the network to that server (the OS/2 machine is not as time stable), but I
see no reference to any time sync NLM in the NW 4 patch sets that I have
seen.
The question is: does NW 4.1x already include this feature, or is an
equivalent NLM to the NW 3.x synctime required and available?
Regards,
        Richard.

I'm running Netware 4.11 on a Cyrix P166+ with no problems whatsoever. I've
also installed NT4 on similar systems, and apart from the cache bug in the NT
installer, it works great.
I'd say that the problems people are having with the Cyrix range of CPUs have
more to do with the motherboard or BIOS than the processor itself. I have had
problems with Cyrix systems (random crashes unless external cache was
disabled), but in every case the CPU would work flawlessly if I tried it on a
different motherboard. In two cases the problems disappeared after a BIOS
flash upgrade.

Actually it was a faulty network card. It was brand new so that took me a

There would be a router configuration error, which told me the card was ok...

Write your reply.

assistant: According to survey information, employers still put a lot of weight on the
CNE certification, even if they don't run NetWare. The reason for this,
according to LAN Times (or Network World, I forget which one), is the
certification demonstrates the ability to learn the technology. In addition,
employers have recognized that Novell's certification program actively
promotes discussion of third-party technology and real world solutions. The
same article reported that some employers prefered CNEs over MCSEs *even in
NT shops* for this reason.
Maybe the CNE's value isn't as great as it once was, but that would only be
because there are so many more of them than there used to be (but still far
less than needs to exist to support the number of installed NW servers).

assistant: You were told correctly.  IntraNetware uses Netware v4.11 as its core
"OS",  and supports TCP/IP out of the box.  In the past one had to
purchase "Netware/IP" in order to use the IP protocol on their Novell
Netware Network.
I wasn't familiar with support for OS/2,  but the DOS partition (the
small one that it is) is just enough to boot the system,  change to the
\SERVER directory,  and start the Novell OS.  Once SERVER is loaded,
you won't be using DOS (or OS/2 for that matter) anymore.
