I run W95 OSR2 with Client 32 loaded from the CD.
I write mappings with the map command in a DOS window. When I exit the window
and return, the directories have been wiped from the mappings and the search
drives have been transferred to network drives.
I read in the Novell knowlegebase that this is the fault of W95.
I find this frightfully frustrating; how would an administrator get on in a
production environment? Would anyone care to enlighten me?

assistant: Look at ManageWise, which can detect and map a network as intricate as
the Internet (watch out - many have accidentally started to do just
that!). ManageWise supports both TCP/IP and IPX.
The nice thing is, if you first disconnect from the Internet,
ManageWise can build a map of your net for you. Then you only need to
maintain changes (after you discover your net, it's okay to reconnect
to the Internet).

I know it's a lame answer, but in the real world, people rarely map
drives in DOS windows, and there are becoming fewer and fewer reasons
to have search drives at all, thanks to how Windows now operates. It
doesn't help in learning the system, but it may add a small level of

assistant: Hi all ,
Help!
I've got a Netware server running 3.12, all workstations have just been
upgraded to Win95. The server is also a print server. One of the
Workstations has an HPDJ690C running from it. Before the upgrade we were
running Wfwg 3.11 using the Novel net drivers. The Hp was shared for all
users under Windows. Now that we are using '95 I have diabled the capture
from the logon scripts. We have two dos programs that we use, one which
needs to print from the Novell server one that should print from the DJ.
The program that requires the Novell printer I run from a batch file which
has the capture and endcap commands (at the beginning and end) but if I
enable the Windows Printer driver to allow Dos programs to print in '95 I
get an intitialisation error from the capture statement. If I stop the '95
printer driver from allowing Dos programs to print all is ok, except I cant
get the other Dos program to print on the DJ :(.
Any ideas anybody?

assistant: Novell.
"Fault" of Windows 95? Hmmm..novell had the audacity to put that in thier
"knowledge base"? That's a bit of a load of slightly exaggerated *bullshit*.
Using Novell's logic, you could say that thier 16 bit MAP.EXE not working in
-any- 32 bit OS is the fault of the OS, not Novell. Now I don't like W95 and
I like to blame it for everything also, but I wouldn't put in writing in -my-
knowlege base <g>.
In the sense that like other 32 bit OS's, Windows 95 uses 32 bit networking,
which requires a 32 bit mapping utility that Novell evidently doesn't provide
with Client32 (As they provide a 32 bit Map.exe for OS/2). The MAP.EXE you
evidently are trying to use is a DOS 16 bit MAP.EXE. That can hardly be
expected to map drives in any 32 bit OS, including Windows 95.
Use Network Neighborhood or Windows 95 explorer (Map is right on a pull down
menu), or if you like to use a command line or batch files use MS's NET.EXE
to map your Novell drives. IE:
NET USE Z: \\SERVER\SYS\PUBLIC
Should map your novell servers SYS volume, public directory to the Z: drive.
I think whether NET.EXE will work or not with your novell servers may depend
on how you have your Windows 95 netware client setup.
Logon with an account with supervisor security I suspect. How do you do it
with some other operating system other than Windows 95?
Hope so...
As a note, mapping directories is really not as appropriate or neccessary as
it was in the 80's and and perhaps even early 90's when each share could only
be password protected and secure file systems were not used. Some
administrators still go nuts over mapping a boat load of directorys from each
volume, but it's usually not necessary.
