An associate of mine here has just set up his first
Netware system (ANW 2.15c). An interesting problem has
arisen. In syscon the functions ACCT RESTRICTIONS and OTHER
INFO, and under the SUPERVISOR OPTIONS menu, options DEFAULT
ACCT BALANCE/RESTRIC. all semm to hang the workstation. After
the connection times out you get: Network Error: error
receiveing from network. Abort or Retry. If you retry same
result, if you abort you are logged out and sitting in the
Login directory. All other functions in Syson work ok.
ACCOUNTING has not been installed.
Any and all suggestions welcome.

In reply to Tim Munroe's problem regarding SYSCON hanging. I had the same problem when I installed my LAN. I found that I had a TSR that was competing with SYSCON. My problem was the order in which IPX, NET3 and Sidekick were loaded. If you load Sidekick before IPX and NET3 SYSCON hangs up. If you load Sidekick after IPX and NET3 SYSCON runs just fine. Check and see if you have a memory resident program that is causing the problem. Load IPX and NET3 before any other memory resident routines. SYSCON should run just fine.

Hmm, not the case here. Our 'boot disk' consists of PC-DOS v3.30
IPX.COM and NET3.COM and that's all. I did notice, however, that
the version of NET3.COM is Rev A (as shipped with NOS Rev.C) So the
system is as naked as possible, with only the stuff as sent by
novell, with the one exception of the WD8003 drivers. All is
configured normally nothing fancy and nothing special. At first I
though it was the auto-boot roms on the WD cards, but this is not
the case. I booted normally with a floppy and the problem persists.

I remember somthing that happened here a while ago, it might not solve your problem but here goes. Somehow (????) a copy of the screen driver novell uses for its "windowing" and colors got saved and hidden in the root directory of a server disk that was configured for every thing to come up black on black. We only found it accidently using XTREE to do something else. I don't know how it got there but it gave the imp[ression of SYSCON hanging.

I get the same symptoms when I try to access the OTHER INFO item in USER INFORMATION. For me, it isn't consistent, and seems to be worst when I try to access info on a user who is on a server which I am only ATTACHed to, rather than on the server I'm logged into. I am using ANW 2.15C, and trying all of this as SUPERVISOR. Up until now I've just ignored it, although I would like to resolve the matter, especially if it is indicative of some more serious problem. +------------------------------------------+ | Rod Nussbaumer | | Programmer / Technologist | | TRIUMF --- Vancouver, BC, Canada | | (604) 222-1047 | | BITNET%"BOMR@TRIUMFER" | | USERTRRN@mtsg.ubc.ca | +------------------------------------------+

I had that problem when I first installed my Novell Software. The problem was a conflict between Sidekick and the IPX and NET3 TSR's. Loading Sidekick last resolved the problem. I have a feeling that there are TSR's which may be causing the interference. JERRY THOMAS THOMAS@USUHS

This was experienced by us at Proteon Inc. as well, downgrading to the SYSCON supplied in 2.15 rev a solved it... Marc Washburn TS Engineer Proteon Inc. (508) 898-3100 mgw@relay.proteon.com

Thanks to Marc Washburn we have solved another Rev.C bug. I
rolled SYSCON back to a 2.15 Rev. A and sure enough all is fine and
dandy.
