[comp.dcom.lans] Novell/AppleTalk Problem

rickm@oregon.uoregon.edu (Rick Millhollin) (08/30/89)

We have a campus-wide ethernet with a number of Novell servers and a lot of
MS-DOS workstations attached, and with AppleTalk networks tied in via Kinetics
FastPaths.  In order to support concurrent access to NetWare servers and TCP/IP
hosts like our VAXes, we ECONFIG all servers and use the BYU packet drivers on
all workstations.  Recently I have installed the Macintosh VAPs on two of these
servers.  One has a 3C505 ethernet card.  I ran NETGEN selecting the drivers
with AppleTalk support, installed the Mac stuff, ran ECONFIG, and all worked
fine.  The other has a NE2000 ethernet card with drivers version 1.01EC
(890309) that come with the card.  It worked fine until I ran ECONFIG and then
the AppleTalk support broke. ECONFIG ran as usual, and in fact the server works
fine except for the AppleTalk stuff, i.e. the BYU packet drivers talk to it
with no problem but it can no longer see the LaserWriters and the Macs can no
longer see it.  Has anybody out there succeeded in getting a similar
configuration to work?
