Novell NetWare 4.1 CD 5 user version. I installed it and decided I
didn't want to fool with it. (To much work to do around here for me to
learn another NOS. Anyway I'm doing an early office cleaning this year
so its up for sale.
I paid $600 for it and it is still selling for the same amount in most
computer magazines. I would be happy with $400. I will pay shipping.

No, you cannot load anything before you start win95 when you use the w95
novell requester, as thatone installa in win95... But you can integrate the
nprinter software in the requester, sort of... get the latest version of both
from somewher (probebly from novells internet site)...
Not if you want to use your novell queues and also not if you wan to keep

    The nec's work just fine with the aspi manager and the

    hard drive (giving me 5 letters back), reset mscdex to
    start with drive "E", move the exterior scsi terminator
    out to the end of the chain, with the 2 letters I had
    left to begin with (YZ) that gives me enough to see all
    22 cd's. Everything works just great with c-hd, d-ramdrive

    twin taking z. You've got exactly what I need to do

assistant: Hi,
        has anyone else experienced problems with memory mapped ISA bus
Network cards (i.e. those that typically use 16kb or 32kb of address space
between C000 and EFFF for data transfer) and Client32/DOS grinding to a halt
after some minutes of running? I've reproduced this with 16 and 32 bit
drivers with an SMC 8216C, and with 16 bit drivers with an Intel
EtherExpress16 in a Phoenix BIOS 486 DX 33 machine that was originally
purchased as a Netware server.
I have briefly tried an AMI BIOS machine with the SMC card with the same
results, even with no shadowing of upper memory and in all cases excluding
the memory region in EMM386.EXE (version 4.49 which comes with MS-DOS 6.22).

2 of my workstations run wfw3.11 (I applied the nt4.0 upgrade for wfw)
occasionally, when I exit wfw, the nw4.10 server will trap out. Also happens
during ipx transfers with the nt box.
I changed to the new vlm client today and it still happens.
This has been happening for awhile, but has gotten worse with 4.0
Any ideas?

assistant: Hallo !
Im Zuge des Internet-Booms wurde auch an meiner Schule der Entschlusz
gefasst, den Schuelern einen Internet-Zugang zu ermoeglichen. Wir
haben einen Sponsor gefunden und einen Zugang ueber ein MS-Network
(Win95) eingerichtet.
Mit dieser Loesung bin ich jedoch etwas ungluecklich, da der
Administrationsaufwand irrsinnig grosz ist. Verschlimmert wird die
Situation dadurch, das in Kuerze 30 Clients auf Internet zugreifen
werden k�nnen. (Fuer zwei Schueler, die in der Zwischenzeit auch mal
was lernen sollten,  ist es unmoeglich, so viele Clients zu warten !!)
Weiters gibt es ein Sicherheitsproblem: Die Schueler koennen, wenn sie
einmal eingeloggt sind (Egal mit welchem Benutzernamen) aufs Internet
zugreifen. Das ist im Unterricht jedoch nicht immer erwuenscht.
Nun zu meiner Frage:
Gibt es eine Moeglichkeit, den Netware-Server als Internet-Relais
einzusetzten, indem er a) bestimmten Usern den Zugang aufs Internet
sperrt (Max darf, Hansi nicht)  und b) die Verbindung zum Internet
ueber einen ISDN-Router herstellt ?
Verfuegbare Software: NW 4.1, NW Connect, NW Multi Protocol Router,
Manage Wise, Lan WorkPlace(Group) (Novell Schul-Paket)
Server: Pentium 166, 64 MB Ram, Scsi,....

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi,
        When I made the tranition to Win 95, I had the same problem.  I run a
netware 3.11 server.  There are two options:
        1.  Use an old 286 or something.  The problem with Win95 is that it
cannot use RPRINTER.  But you can use an old computer and just capture the
printer port through you login script.  Windows 95 processes these with no
problem.
        2.  Enable file and printer sharing for netware on the machine you
have the printer on.  Now double click the file and printer sharing thing (In
networks) and enable SAP advertising.  This will enable a shared folder or
printer to be recognisable as a Volume or a Print Queue.  Now share the
printer.  In the login script use the command:
                #CAPTURE /S=(NAME OF THE WIN95 COMPUTER) /Q=(SHARE NAME YOU
GAVE THE PRINTER) /L=(LPT NUMBER) (NOTI|NB|NFF|NT)
The only downside to number 2 is that you ahve to enter your login name and
password again.  But if you use number two, the printing is faster.
Let me know if either works for you or if you need more information.
