    Can NW6 server get an IP from a Win2K DHCP server?

    Get the updated DHCP client modules. You can let a server get a DHCP address, but it limits it severely. If you've failed the ping tests, etc, you have probably have something odd in IP. Check the mask especially, if your LAN admin didn't give you the specs. On a hunch, force the NIC to...

    Setting Up Remote Client Access

    If Mercury doesn't answer POP requests, you need to use the VPN and the same client remotely you're using inside. iFolder can go over SSL (port 52443 is common). So can NetStorage, giving users file access. Different port used... Without replacing Mercury, you need to use a POP client or VPN...

    Any one knows and good Web Forum Server running on Netware 6?

    Look into the Novell developer sections and get Apache/PHP/Perl/mySQL. Now run PHP-NUKE or whatever you might like... If it's PHP. I bet it runs... I call this a NAMP server... NetWare/you know the rest. Rick Oh, if it seems impossible, let me get caught up on my linux box, and I'll have a...

    Novell Native File Access

    NFA doesn't make NetWare vulnerable to the "vulnerbilities as a Microsoft Server." For instance, core security is as unassailable as it gets right now. Buffer overflows don't seem to bother NetWare. Oh, they don't seem to exist. No known virus seems to infest NetWare server OS...

    Setting Up Novell

    First, you need NetWare software. NW6+5 users is probably $800 or so at discount. IF you find a discount. A NW6 server should be a P-II 450MHz or better, 256MB RAM or better (512MB strongly rec.), and 9GB drive. SCSI adapters are better for NetWare, the Adaptec Ultra160 is a sweet card...

    IPX and Netware 6 problem

    Actually, it *is* possible to put IPX on E_II, and even the Xerox frames... I hadn't thought of that. Try: Load {NIC DRIVER} frame=ethernet_802.2 name=lan_8022 Bind IPX to lan_8022 net=nnnn from memory rick

    IPX and Netware 6 problem

    If there are no 802.2 packets on the wire, then you either are running 802.3 or IPX is not, in fact, bound properly to the card. After all, no packets. If even IPXPING doesn't get a packet on the wire, look for another NIC card. And beware of switches, you'll need to set up a monitor port to...

    Netware 5.0 NLM's

    Some background on hung proceesses in NetWare: If you freeze the Monitor, it's probably stuck on a critical process, like a file write or directory update. If you can identify the connection, you might get out of it killing the user. Usually you can't. A hung NLM is likely also in a critical...

    Having to release and renew in winipcfg all the time

    how long is your lease set for? if it's days, why are users renewing? what is the dhcp server? actually, why do users need to renew? is there an IP problem you should be fixing? rick

    NMI Parity error - causing abend of Netware 5.1 server

    i would change the cpu and scsi card, and the nic just in case. it was probably just one thing, but heck, get 'em all. cheaper than a callback. rick

    Newbe Question: About Domain Names

    you telnet to your server with: Windows: start/run/telnet {ip address} Linux: telnet {ip address} name and password at the prompts. this gives you command-line access. you should ask your hoster if they can make it SSH instead of telnet for security. then you need an SSH client, which in...

    How do you restart an Apache web server under Red Hat?

    /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart is the best way. hang around and watch for errors. obviously, it's httpsd if your running an ssl server. rick

    My linux box was hacked, & root password changed.. what to do?

    Just for info, the estimated average time for a plain-vanilla RedHat box to be compromised after connection to the Internet is down to 9 hours... Sad commentary... I've had every one of mine whacked over the years, and only once did I avoid a reinstall. Mostly bind and ftp hacks. The Adore...

    Open relay in Exch 5.0

    I know, this is NOT a 5.0 forum, but quick - Can I secure Exchange 5.0 SP2 against all current relay hacks? If not, we'll bite the bullet and upgrade. Rick

    Groupwise Support Pack 5 any suggestions

    Installed SP5 right after it came out. No problems at all on any of the 3 systems I admin, including Webaccess and GWIA. Rumor around here is that SP5 exposes more problems than it causes. One of the systems upgraded to GW6 as part of a NW 6 cluster install, again no real problems. Rick

    Logging on to wrong server NT&2K

    LAN here has an NT4 server running Exchange 5.5, and a 2K server just as file & print for now. 2K server is a member server, not even a PDC,BDC, or DC. No ADS. Users report they regularly get the 'no domain controller/bad password' error starting up and during the day when they reload Win98...

    Anybody know of any good software that can tell me when my server is..

    WhatsUp (Gold is the current best and $$$ version) will monitor. It can be taught to tell you what service failed, and if the whole box dropped. Pages, e-mail, name it. Just not free. Rick

    Upgrading Domain from NT4 to Win2K. Need Advise

    I'm told my my MCSE that 2K server cannot be a BDC on a 4.x domain. He recommended the third-machine route, install a temp 2K server, have it assume DC status and take over for the NT box, run DCPROMO on the original 2K server, and kill the temp server. Sounds roundabout, but makes sense in a...
