HELP!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!HELP!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!
Now that I have your attention, My office just had a Novell LAN installed,
and we are having problems getting our mice to work (we are still learning how
to use it :)).
Our LAN consists of:
Cabletron Ethernet boards in all connected PC's
Novell Adv. Netware 286 V2.15 Rev. C
Novell Shell Driver v1.03.00
The mice are all Logitech bus mice.
The PC's vary. They include AT&T, NCR, IBM-AT, Wyse PC's.
Any suggestions or solutions if you've had this problem also, please e-mail
me direct, as I don't get a chance to read this newsgroup as much as I should.
If a solution is found or not found as the case may be, I will post a summary
with all those who contributed to my offices learning.

Sorry for the repost, but I forgot to give you my Internet address, and also
a few things that I have already tried.

The things that I have done have been to change the interrupt on both the
mouse board and the ethernet card (including the software to run the card).
I did check to see if the mouse board was ok by removing the ethernet card.

HELP!!!!!! {rest is deleted} This is a followup to my original subject. I've received a few responses from this post, and I've tried every one of them (they all said the pretty much the same thing:)). This is a list of things that I've already tried from the responses: 1) Loading mouse.com without the Ethernet card installed in the PC. Result -- Successful load and test of mouse. 2) Changing IRQ on the mouse board to one of the other positions (tried 2 - 5) Result -- Failed trying to load mouse.com (system locked-up). 3) Changing IRQ on the Ethernet card. Result -- Failed same as 2. (Modified software to recognize new IRQ) 4) Putting mouse.sys in the config.sys file as a device. Result -- Failed loading mouse.sys (this was tried before and after loading the network software) If you have any more ideas please e-mail me at jkossoy@irscscm.UUCP or ..!uunet!media!ka3vk!irscscm!jkossoy.

We have been using logitech, and various other rodents on our PCs
for what seems like a long time. The trick to getting these
cards (I assume the logitech mouse is a bus mouse) to work together
is to make sure you aren't attempting to use an interrupt that is
already in use. The logitech mouse card allows several options
as does your lan card, but you must coordinate their use of the IRQ
(interupt) lines.

>responses: > >1) Loading mouse.com without the Ethernet card installed in the PC. This is an interaction between the mouse card and the ethernet card. Here's what you do. Find out what I/O ports your mouse card and ethernet card use. Cards communicate with the rest of the PC through IRQs, I/O ports and memory addresses. Not all cards use all of the above but all will use at least some. Oh yea, I forgot they also use DMA but I doubt if the mouse is using DMA. Get all the information you can about what IRQs, and I/O ports your using on each one of the cards, not just the mouse and ethernet cards. LPT ports and COM ports use these things too. Make sure that none of the IRQs are shared, nor any of the I/O ports. A program like CHECKIT will tell you what IRQs are currently being used. Consult your documentation on all the cards and write down what each card is currently using, and is capable of using. Figure out a combination where none of the cards are attempting to use any other cards IRQ or I/O or DMA or whatever. Be warned there may not be a workable solution! If you are using 8 bit ethernet cards they will not have the upper IRQ capability of ATs or AT bus class machines. You will have to get 16 bit cards with more options if you run out of options. Good Luck! If you need additional help you can call me at (503) 627-0149.
