[comp.unix.sysv386] Question SCO ODT V1.0 and Lanmanagers

ton@rwzl10.UUCP (Ton Damen) (03/26/91)

I have posted this question several times and didn't get a answer
(except from Martin O'Nions; thanks). I am very interrested in a
response from SCO.

In our LAn we have several lanmanager servers (HP-lmx and 3com
OS2-server).

I can't contact the HP-lmx servers at all. All other TCP-connections are
ok. I get the message server not responding.

I can contact the OS2-server, but it seems that ODT doesn't perform a
net login. I can only access the servers diskresources when i give the
guest-account acces to all server resources.


My question is simple:

Does ODT lanmanager client support any of these servers?

Ton, I asked our technical team here about this... the answer:

    ODT 1.1 should work fine to HP LM/X servers.
    The bug in earlier rev's of TCP was that the
    ODT machine did not properly handle the CALL
    RETARGET TCP over NetBIOS message.  Things to 
    check are broadcast address and the NetBIOS 
    scope identifier.  If the LM/X server is in
    user-level security, there should be an account
    on the server for the client machine name.

Your local friendly SCO dealer/distributor should be able to
help you get a release 1.1 update.
