Hallo Alle, ich betreue ein Novell 3.12 Netzwerk mit bisher 10 Usern. Da ich kein Update erwerben konnte, habe ich eine 20 UserLizenz erworben. Ich dachte, es waere kein Problem, einfach nur die server.exe auszutauschen und das Update waere vollzogen. Leider werden nun aber die Volumes nicht mer gemountet. Was muss ich fuer mein Update tun damit es laeuft?

Those are both 10Base-T Ethernet cards, and could be used to network two PCs together. BTW, routers are used to connect entire networks together. ==Bruce ...

SH> Finally, I was wondering if I could equip one of the SH> PCs with a modem and WinGate, and allow all the PCs to SH> IRC on the Internet. In which case - how? Wingate is quite good, reliable and quite easy to setup. All you need as a minimum is a standard dial-up account with your ISP. No need to horse with routers, getting static IP address etc from your ISP as some have suggested to you in this thread. Works fine in either W95 or WNT. You have to setup the internet browser/mailer/ftp etc, etc on each workstation to use a Proxy Server. Wingate will be the Proxy Server. Most decent internet software allows configuring it to use a Proxy Server. Wingate can be setup to automatically dial the ISP when a LAN user activates it through his local internet software. It will automatically hang up after a certain period of inactivity that you set. You only need to correctly setup TCP/IP on your LAN. Wingate, including DNS will correctly take it from there. Wingate is quite flexible, well done and -easy- to setup and use. You could even use it in conjunction with a W95 or Windows NT remote access server to allow others to dial into your LAN and use your internet ISP account. You would have to have at least two modems and two phone lines in that scenario. (One to dial into, one for Wingate to dial out on). --- Maximus/NT 3.01b1 * Origin: Windows NT P_O_W_E_R_E_D! 33,600bps (1:303/1) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 193 LAN Ref: E4D00000 Date: 04/09/97 From: ULDIS MIKELSONS Time: 01:09am \/To: BRUCE LANE (Read 8 times) Subj: Wingate Hello Bruce! 07 Apr 97 22:45, Bruce Lane wrote to Uldis Mikelsons: BL> If he wants to run a dedicated Internet hookup I believe he would.

You can use these two LAN cards to network two machines Peer-To-Peer or you can make one server and the other work station. Ofcourse a BNC cable is also needed to connect the two cards. You can also buy a cheap hub to connect the two machines using the RJ-45 outlets. Regards.

Do I need a domain name to do what I want. If you have static IP on your ISDN dialup, then you will already have a omain name - but email is difficult - you probably won't be able to use software straight from the machines. It depends a lot on the ISP setup. You'd probably in the end need to assign all the machines a IP addresses and use a Linux box as a router - and run your own mail server on it. It's not easy, and mail is usually the most difficult part of a system. A rather big project in any case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- William Hargrave 2:254/211.20 6/4/1997 --- * Origin: Wherever. (2:254/211.20)
