we have a lot of 3.n and 4.n Netware servers.
Very often, we loose the superviso's password;
In 3.12, you start the machine in DOS, DiskDoctor, and rename the bindery
files.
But how do you manage in 4.10 ? I don't know.
May be we are obliged to reinstall ? can't we do something more intelligent ?

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
For an upcoming move to a new building network management wants
MAC/ethernet addresses for all devices I have. The PC's and other
equipment is no problem to get the numbers. The Apples on the other
hand have me baffled right now. Using the console's connection info
all I see for Apples is the Apple segment number. I've even tried
opening up a few Apples to see if the ethernet numbers are labeled
inside like I've seen on other equipment - no such luck :(
How can I find out the MAC/ethernet numbers for Apples using
the Novell software I'm running (4.1)
Thanks,

I'm running a peer-peer network using Novell Dos 7 and personal

Does anybody know if there is a patch for the EMM386 file?
I've found an upgrade dating to 1994 but this didn't fix my
problem.
Any ideas?

This evening I solved the problem. I discussed the question with an friend

register memory 1000000 1700000
and the result was:
Memory was successfully added
Total server memory: 39,552 Kilobytes.
That is the maximum I could get.
When I typed :
register memory 1000000 1800000
the result went down to 17,552 Kilobytes
I am satisfied with the final result of 39,552 KB

      MicroHard Technologies  Dallas, TX

My boss at work has an idea of reviving a bunch of 286 machines
and connect about 6 - 8 of them to a network so we can send a
form from one work station to the next, until the work order has
been completed.
We do have 2 - 386's and one pentium that would also ( more than
likely be on the network ).
My question is, will it work.  According to him, some of the 286
machines have network cards.
I doubt that he will want to hire an outside firm to do all the
work and set everything up if we can do it ourselves. (which
means I will probably be the one to do it)
How does pricing for the network software work?
They also have a bunch of WANG dumb terminals around, I told him
to forget about them connecting to the PC's but he keeps bringing
it up.  He says we can get something to convert between the two.
Wang and PC.  Can I get some comments on that too?

I am thinking of running a NETWARE v3.12 server on a 486DX4-100 with
16mb memory and a 2.1Gb IDE harddisk. I am just interested in using
it for learning and also to store files shared via 2 terminals. Ie
apps, etc.
Should the configuration of 486DX4-100 with 16Mb mem do it. Or should
I go for 32Mb mem.
Also can anyone send me a copy of there *.NCF files for starting up a
NETWARE v3.12 server with a NE2000 network card. Do I have to load any
drivers for it in DOS. Or do I just use the startup files in the server
to setup the NE2000 card. ie AUTOEXEC.NCF etc.
Also what is the recommended size of the DOS partitation. I think
40Mb is enough. But I'd like some other peoples opinions.
Any help would be appreciated. If someone can also give me tips on setting
up the server for speed. ie. examples of *.NCF start up files.
Thanks
