Try Two things: Upgrade netx to rev D. and put these two lines in your SYSTEM.INI file (windows) [NETWARE] NWSHAREHANDLES=TRUE the two lines keep dynamic mem pool 1 from getting too fat. They may not help ypur workstation but they sure will help your server. Also, do the install while you are logged into the server. jamesp@world.std.com

You should check out upgrading to these versions. XMSNET4 should have a date of 09-18-90 and a size of 56152 bytes. Your IPX of course will have whatever date you genned it.

You also have to make sure you're using the BYU shells to run the IPX over the packet driver (did you remember to do this?). beyond this, I would make sure that your windows ini files are up to par by making sure that the proper parameters are given to it. (I also heard that you need to add a line in the SHELL.CFG file for the IPX shell: SHOW DOT=ON or something to that effect so that windows can see the . and .. entries, someone confirm this for me.)

We are >running Novell Netware SFT 286 2.15 Rev.c. there were a number of problems with the revision A, B, and C 3.01 shells and IPX. The current revision is revision D (there is a revision E, but many problems have been reported with it). The revision D shells are available from Novell's Netwire on Compuserve.
