Write your reply.

assistant: Hello again,
Well, my problems have moved on to a different area.  I am having trouble
with my users prune/graph directories by accidentally dragging the
cursor (in windows 95).  The funny part is that win95 doesn't even
prompt you for verification (such as deleting).  A user actually move
an entire directory structure on the network drive while another user
was editing a file in that directory.
I thought about removing the modify right from the group; however,
since we use AutoCAD r14, this might be a problem.  AutoCAD creates
temporary files, and the users need to be able to modify files in
that directory.  The other thought was to enable "confirm deletions"
(I think this is in Filer.exe).  I don't know if this would ask
for a verification for such a thing.  I also looked in the help files
to see if win95 has a verification that can be turned on, but I didn't
see anything.
Thanks again,
Brian

assistant: AFAIK this is only true if you use HP's Queue Server mode.
If set up as a Novell remote printer no login is needed, so no
licence _should_ be used-up. That's the theory anyway.
The box will of course need an extra physical network conenction, if
you're on structured cabling.

Did you updated your 3.11 setup with all the latest drivers from the
patchlist (see http://support.novell.com)
Probebly you did not have the update monitor.nlm
If you have new hardware, you MUST use the latest serverpatches in order to
get it stable, at least the patches from 311PTG.EXE and replace the loader in
server.exe if you use a pentium machine with PCI... And, if you are
installing a new server, just apply al the basic patches that are available
for NW3, including LIB311, and LANUPx/ODI33D and the utility patches...
Here a few lined from the readme, related to the problem you described:
=== Begin ===
 The following files are necessary for NetWare v3.11 when using the files in
the 32SPEC directory structure:
      MONITOR.NLM v1.75 or higher.
      (Currently v1.76 is contained in MON176.EXE.  If MONITOR.NLM that
shipped
with NetWare v3.11 is used the file server will ABEND when viewing LAN driver
statistics.)
      LSLENH.NLM contained in the 32SPEC\31X\311 directory
      (This patch adds LSL enhancements to NetWare v3.11 and must be loaded
prior to loading MSM31X.NLM.  MSM31X.NLM will not load on NetWare v3.11
nless
LSLENH.NLM is loaded first.)
==== End ====
See, if using NW3.11 on newer servers of with newer hardware, be sure to
apply all the patches and enhanchements first, or you have problems. Note
that hardware has changed allot since nw3.11 was released, almost 10 years

G-day Roger.
The answer is no. You have only one option. Upgrade all machines to the
Microsoft Networking. Ie. Win 95.
However if you can't upgrade the Netware lite box, you can purchase a
product called Microsoft Dos-Addon or Workstation Client. This is basically
a Server/Redirector or Ms-Dos. It costs about the $100 Aus. I have used it
the same way as you are trying to do.

ask it) is "what has changed lately?" Changes should be the primary
suspect.
FWIW, you should seriously look at upgrading the 3.11 network, since it
is not year 2000 compliant, and is supporting fewer and fewer new

TA = AT/Hayes Serial
Only problem is that you propably don't have the equivalent
of a W95 .INF file for what ever TA you are planning.
However. The DOC's has a nice description of how to Edit & Compile these
definition files. If you know a little about
modems in general, you should be able to define it right
and get it to work. (i've made 3 of these files for diff.
AT/Hayes, Serial (Modem like) TA's. I have however not
installed them in a production environment, i just made
the files for other Novell CNE's, CNA's etc. who did'nt
know Jack about AT commands.
TA = Non AT/Hayes, Non Serial
If you buy a ISA or PCI card for your machine, be very
sure that it includes a CAPI for Novell. If it does, it
can be defined as a WAN card and used for networking

Haven't tried it yet (ISDN service still a couple weeks away) but I'm
looking at a product by Artisoft (LanTastic people <shiver>).
The product is called I.Share, and the price is RIGHT.  Might check
www.artisoft.com for a 30 day 3 user eval.
Doesn't appear to do OS/2 or NT but is certainly cheaper than others
I've found. (QuarterDeck, Bay, Novell and others).
If you would like to send an address (hroney@gte.net) I'll let you know
how it works for me.  Also would like to know about any products you
find out about.
