I was led to believe that the Win98 beta and Client32 were incompatible; MS required you to use their own client. I suppose the way around this would be to remove the Client32 software when the computer was still running Win31/95, and THEN perform the upgrade to Win98 with the MS client. I'm sure this will change when Win98 is actually released. --- * QMPro 1.53 * Is it time for lunch yet? * Origin: Fidonet * Storm Front BBS (215)788-4662 v.34+ (1:273/216) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 194 NOVELL Ref: FA100010 Date: 05/22/98 From: BILL DENNISON Time: 03:17pm \/To: ALL (Read 2 times) Subj: NW/NT/Lantastic OK.. I'm gonna toss this out in the open because I can't figger this out, and of course finding documentation for it isn't easy... I have a pair of DOS workstations which have been humming along just fine with Netware and Lantastic, connecting to both. I installed NT on a new system, and can't configure the DOS workstations to link into the NT server. Lantastic renames the NET.EXE and replaces it with their own (which can see only Lantastic servers)... I've loaded GSNW, RIP, and SAP on the NT server to try and emulate a Netware server, but the DOS workstations are oblivious to it. Windows95 workstations can access the NT server just fine. I checked the IPX network address, and the NT server and Netware server match. There's no router in place, only a hub for the NT server (10bT) that also connects to the coax wiring where all other machines are wired. Any ideas?

Origin: The Battle Bridge NSW AUS +61-2-9971-4304 Node 1 (3:714/932) DR-DOS was purchased from Novell, pretty much intact. I believe it is the equivalent of Novell DOS 6. Caldera now owns it and essentially gives it away for non-commercial and educational use. I seem to be lacking a NET.CFG file. I am using the drivers that come with the card, an Intel EtherExpress Pro. It uses an IPXODI driver. I wonder if adding a NET.CFG wouldn't take care of the problem. Charles ... How should I know?

I browsed thru AY> the online docs but my i couldn't seem to find an answer to this problem. AF> This is because you can't sub-subnet. Of course you can, it's just a matter of manipulating the subnet mask. He won't be able to use the recommended address address ranges for servers etc, but otherwise it should work. Unfortunately, one cannot divide an address range in five chunks of equal size. One solution would be to use 8 subnets and bind multiple addresses to three of the NICs, but that creates a problem with DHCP. Now, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.192 gives 4 subnets with 62 addresses each. The question is, can one use 255.255.255.192 on three of the cards and split the last subnet in two, using 255.255.255.224? This just might work: NIC #1: Net: 10.85.113.0 Broadcast: 10.85.113.63 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.192 Address range: 10.85.113.1 - 10.85.113.62 NIC #2: Net: 10.85.113.64 Broadcast: 10.85.113.127 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.192 Address range: 10.85.113.65 - 10.85.113.126 NIC #3: Net: 10.85.113.128 Broadcast: 10.85.113.191 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.192 Address range: 10.85.113.129 - 10.85.113.190 NIC #4: Net: 10.85.113.192 Broadcast: 10.85.113.223 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.224 Address range: 10.85.113.193 - 10.85.113.223 NIC #5: Net: 10.85.113.224 Broadcast: 10.85.113.255 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.224 Address range: 10.85.113.225 - 10.85.113.254 As to how to configures DHCP in a multi-interface setup like this, I have no idea. Besides, my head hurts. :) AF> NetWare servers automatically act as routers when you install multiple AF> NICs in them. Not unless you turn on IP forwarding, which is what he'll have to do. He'll also have to set up a default route to the router acting as a gateway to...well, whatever net he is connected to. AF> To use those addresses, you may need to redesign your network to AF> place your users on the same subnet, using bridges to separate AF> segments, instead of routers. Using bridges is certainly an attractive solution. Saves a lot of configuration and a bunch of IP addresses as well. But can Netware act as a bridge? And will broadcasts (such as a DHCP request) travel across a bridge? AF> Alternatively, you may wish to consider using an IP/IPX gateway, That should work too. - KR - --- BBBS/NT v3.42 ToMmIk-4v * Origin: Circle of Protection +47 55961259 ISDN/V.34+ (2:211/37) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 194 NOVELL Ref: FA100016 Date: 05/23/98 From: JEFF DUNLOP Time: 11:04pm \/To: AZIZ YACOUB (Read 2 times) Subj: ip subnets You received a correct response to the main part of your problem, so I won't address it, although I don't know why you ought to notify your ISP that your IP pool doesn't meet your needs. I'm quite partial myself to running a private IP network in almost all instances, using NAT on the router to expose a single IP address, since it's a big security problem to expose your network to the Internet without a firewall.
