[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] Help with Novell & TCP-IP

fac7@dayton.saic.com (Steven Poling) (03/28/91)

I have a couple of questions I hope someone can answer... please?

1.) We have a Novell 2.15c network and wish to use TCP-IP at the same
time as Novell.  Which TCP-IP package do I need? Where can I find the
latest packet drivers, I know that the -n swith did not work in version
8 but did it exist in any of the earlier versions?  I will need
to rebuild my IPX.COM with the files from NOVELL.EXE, right?  Any
answers to these questions would be GREATLY appreciated!  I know
there are people with this configuration, but I am unclear as exactly
how to proceed. Steve

A large number of them will work over the packet drivers.  This
includes Sun's PC-NFS, Beame and Whiteside, James River Group, FTP
Software, and The Wollongong Group.

   Where can I find the latest packet drivers, I know that the -n
   swith did not work in version 8 but did it exist in any of the
   earlier versions?

It's fixed in 9.x, the announcement of which doesn't seem to have gotten
to this newsgroup.

   I will need to rebuild my IPX.COM with the files from NOVELL.EXE,
   right?

Yes, and econfig it, too.  If you don't want to econfig your server,
you'll have to use the -n switch.  If you go ahead and econfig your
server, you won't need -n.
