NOVELL

[Nicolai Kuntze]

Hi,

I need help configuring ipx and dosemu to work together. At the moment I am using dosemu 1.2.1 and DOS 3.3. After some time just stops working. I belive a breakdown of my ipx connection is the reason. Has someone ( Bart? ) some suggestions which DOS-Version etc. I should use? It is very importent for me getting this to work stable ...

Yours,

Nicolai

I may know about DOSEMU internals, but know almost nothing about IPX and
have zero experience with it (other than being an ordinary user in a
student lab quite a few years ago now) -- in fact all that's in the
Novell-HOWTO was contributed by others.

I'm using Novell DR-DOS 7 with our dosemu installtion.  Things work
really well, so long as doxemu runs with root privledges.

Occasionally, strange things can kill IPX sessions, but they are very
rare in my environment and usually involve DOS crashing due to (for
example) oversized directories on the Novell server.

I haven't tried with any DOS besides DRDOS 7.  We use NETX as our client
driver, and again, I haven't tried VLM.

You do lose the NetWare connection after a time when using ipx + dosemu,
due to the infamous watchdog packets that the NetWare server sends periodically
and that the client (I am using VLM) under dosemu fails to detect and answer
to.  I have tried DRDOS 7 and freedos to no avail.
This problem doesn't occur when using a program such as Paradox that keeps
contacting the server in the background, therefore telling the server that the
connection is alive.
If you are connecting to a NetWare server, the period after which the
watchdogs are sent can be configured to your convenience (I guess that 1
hour or more would permit regular work).
If you are connecting to a mars-nwe server life gets tougher. You can set
the frequency of the watchdogs in section 310 of the nwserv.conf mars
config file, but somehow it doesn't work as expected. 
You can set it to -1 to choose no watchdogs at all, but you risk to get
overwhelmed with dead connections. I am currently testing a couple of
shell scripts run by cron to help mars get rid of dead connections, but
for some reason they don't quite work. Yet. :o)

I have changed to DOS 5.0 and lsl/vlm and it seems that my problems are solved. Only netx.exe seems to be very instable.

[Nicolai Kuntze]

Hi,

can someone send me a well working example how to use Novell in the dosemu. At the moment I use DOS 5.0 / netx and I'd like to know if there are better realisations out there.

Yours,

Nicolai
