Hi
We are using Netware V3.1 on an ethernet. At the moment we have all our
workstations using ver 6 Clarkson packet drivers and BYU IPX.
There are a couple of things that I am not sure about in this regard.
1. There has been some mention that the ver7 packet drivers are able to
use 802.3 frame formats to communicate with the server. If this is
correct, what changes have been made to resolve the problem caused by
the IPX checksum field?
2. Our local supplier sent us Boot PROMS. I assume that they won't work
because we are using Ethernet-II frame formats (they can't find the
server to get the boot image). If 802.3 format is possible with Ver7
packet drivers, then I could try again once we have those. Otherwise,
do I have to get boot Proms especially for Ethernet-II frame formats?
Any comments, suggestions?
