Does anyone have experience getting the Realtek 8139 (D-Link, ASound, generic) NIC to operate at 100 speed with Netware 5.0? It works fine as a 10Base (Full or Half Duplex). Drivers from Realtek don't work so far. Thanks.
Greetings!
If you want the XP machine connected to the internet and the Linux box on the same local network, then the answer would seem to be:
On the XP box, Properties for the dial-up network connection, select "Advanced" and check "allow other network users to connect ..."...
Clean WinXP Pro installation has the following issues:
1) about 40% of the time, TCP/IP fails upon startup. CSNW is installed, and XP connects to the Netware server, but apparently disables any tcp/ip connections: internet, samba systems, etc. Solution has been to shutdown and reboot until...
Plugsys is ok as long as you are willing to rewrite significant sections of code (I have numerous legacy apps from dbIII days that won't compile under plugsys but will work fine under clipper). Our solution is to use Caldera Linux with its DR-DOS emulator and our clipper programs run fine.
Things to look at -- and these may be obvious:
1) is visionfs running? telnet to your SCO box and (on a UW7 box) run
/usr/vision/bin/visionfs status
if not started, replace 'status' with 'start'
2) by default, root is the administrator for visionfs. That means that you must login initially...
Aside from the fact that ME 'damages' DOS support and bundles the Media Player into the OS, my experience is that it is less stable than 98se. MS seems to consider ME as a hybrid between 9x and NT in which drivers may or may not work.
If you can stay with 98se, I'd stay there with Clipper. If...
Follow-up to mystery database: We found that when user B logged in under his own name, that he could start the program, but apparently wiped out the data. If it were Unix, user would have execute rights but not read / write rights to the folder. This may be the default for W2K -- we're...
Win 2000 is a better 'idea' than 9x or Me for stability of a platform; however, I'm finding that Blinker 6 seems to be the 'required' linker, and there are some subtle tweaks necessary to get Clipper apps to work properly. Screen size, user rights, 'net use lpt1 ...' among them. Hope this helps.
I thought that Access, via the DAO driver, could load .dbf file directly. I found this in the Access .hlp file:
When you install the dBASE database driver, the Setup program writes a set of default values to the Windows Registry in the Engines and ISAM Formats subkeys. You should not modify...
Thanks for the thoughts...
As I understand it, all users log-in under W2k with the same user name / password. Rights should be the same. (Interestingly, about an hour ago, the primary user is again gone, and others are claiming that the database is clean again.)
I'm going to attempt setting up...
Greetings.
I'm trying to track down the total disappearance of database files. System
characteristics: Win 2000 Pro, not networked no SPs installed; Clipper 5.3b app linked w/ bundled Blinker. Application has run without problems on W98 and during my
testing on Win 2000 Adv Svr. Application...
Some things immediately come to mind that might help:
1) if your data are on the shared netware drive: Buffers between Windoze and Netware sometimes keep data in RAM instead of writing to the shared drive. A 'hard write' may or may not solve the problem. You may need to tweaking the netware...
