Could anyone suggest books or references on IPX and novell networking? Any pointers would be helpful. Thanks Matt matt@zeus.sbi.com gutherz@jove.rutgers.edu

It's not too bad, although it doesn't really go into enough depth (IMNSHO) about performing IPX/SPX between 2 workstations. It also doesn't mention NCP. > > Thanks > > Matt matt@zeus.sbi.com gutherz@jove.rutgers.edu -- ============================================================================== | Hamish Marson <hamish@waikato.ac.nz> | | Computer Support Person, Computer Science Department | | University of Waikato | |Disclaimer: Anything said in this message is the personal opinion of the | | finger hitting the keyboard & doesn't represent my employers | | opinion in any way.

For a complete description (the best I've seen so far) of Novell's communications protocols, see the 9/90 issue of NetWare Application Notes, pp 25-82. This is an article titled "NetWare Communications Processes" written by Paul Turner, an engineer at Novell. It includes a complete discussion of IPX, RIP, SAP, and NCPs, and how they interoperate. It is a good overview to read before you get into reference manuals for the various API function calls. Reprints are available from the Novell AppNotes Hotline (801) 429-7550; I think the cost for 1 reprint is $5, chargeable to your favorite plastic. Novell publishes "Research Notes" supposedly monthly, but the last I've received is from September 1990. Ken Cox, Novell CNE imspw6!cox@uunet.uu.net Integrated Microcomputer Systems Rockville, MD
