There is also a progie wich will log a Pc out and opionally reboot the
machine if need be, after a variety of events, all at the descion of the
Admin.  You could set it to kill a connect after say 10 min of being not
active.  The program was if I remember origanlly written to Kill All
connections to said server for a back up say.

hello!
If I understand you right, to do what he wants to do, you don't have to login
to the Network.  In the boot process have it do the NODE command.  We also
run ICLASS and NW 3.12, and have no problems.
Then again I could be totally wrong.   Ohwell.... :)

  802.2 is the default frame type for 3.12.  This is the problem here.
  Since you are only using IPX and NETX, you will have to regen IPX.
  If these machines have a meg or more of memory, I would use VLM's.
  If I remember correctly, there was a problem with this with the
  monitor.nlm that shipped with 3.12.  There is an upgrade on Novell's

  monitor.nlm and see if that helps.

Link driver 3c509

Just what I had to do recently - installed and testing at the moment, due to

We were told no.  So upraded to v4.1 and got SFT.  I didn't really need much
of an excuse to got to v4.1 as that is what I'm running on another network I
play with.
According to the doco - you can run different memory, disks.  There are some
hassles / limitations though.  If one system had 64MB and the other 32MB then
the 64MB system would only use the first 32MB of memory and would NOT make
use of the extra memory.
It seems ok in my testing so far (3 weeks).  Had some hassles where the
mirrored link was dropping out on occassion - tracked it down to some
improperly earthed power which meant that if I touch the two system I shot
110v/ac between them (gave me a little tingle to but it just felt like a
static discharge).  Seems to be running a lot more reliably once we had the
power source fixed.
I've been lucky so far - no abends (fingers crossed).  According to the doco
if hardware triggers an abend then only the affected server will stop so the
other should continue.  If it is the software running on the virtual server
then you've effectivlely totalled both SFT servers.
The switchover delay seems to be about 15 seconds.  The most we've had to do
so far is to press R for retry on some software which triggered an abort,
retry, ignore during the 15 second pause / switchover.

Write your reply.

assistant: The WEB Server product is written for NW4.1x only. It consists
of a number of snap in components such as HTTP, RCGI, BASIC and
PERL NLMs. These all opearte out of a SYS:WEB directory and all
the features of JAVA applets, NDS browsing, remote CGI scripting
and ~USER home page are supported.
I set up a Web server some months ago and have found it all very
easy to administer. Mind you, you'll need 32MB or RAM or more
before you consider going live. 1000 packet receive buffers are
a minimum requirement also.
You will also need a separately purchased Novell TCP/IP stack
functioning on your workstations. Here again, BOOTP support is
not bundled with Web server. It is essentially the HTTP server
side of things only.
I used Quartdeck's IWARE Connect on both server and workstation
to obviate the requirement for a TCP/IP stack on the workstation.
IWARE uses IPX on the workstation and uses a tunnel-like approach
on the server. License seats, allowable addresses, time restrictions
etc are configured using a windows-based mgt app for the IWARE
product.
I found that this made the Novell WEB Server product a much more
attractive and usable product. The lack of workstation support
'out of the box' makes it a bit of a pain if youhave little or
no TCP/IP experience.
The third party BOOTP and FTP products from HellSoft will make
these standard Unix features available alongside your Web Server
installation. Products such as Mercury mail work very well on
NW41x and will give POP and SMTP with little fiddling. These will
give new meaning to the use of the Print Server too. ;-)
A word of advice, get TCP/IP configured and running on everything
before even considering to get Web and FTP services running.
One headache you don't need is trying to get three or four
services debugged and secured all at once.
If you need more specific info on the Web server, just holler.
