    Security when using webaccess at Internet cafes etc

    We have 2 systems we are testing/evaluating before we offer to customers. Can be accessed from a browser and will create a ssl vpn applet for whatever software is needed. 1 of the systems is a software solution and one is a hardware solution. Both do the job but obviously dependant on what else...

    NSS Partition "Not Shareable for Clustering"

    If you have spare disk capacity on the SAN install clustering and create the SBD. (Only about 10-50Mb) When you have this the SAN box will be set for clustering. You may need to update the existing pools etc on the SAN. You can only set it for sharing with Cluster loaded(I think) Lee Smith...

    ECB ??

    Basically if your ECB counts go up the server cannot get a packet onto the wire, it holds it in a cashe area(ECB). If the ECB count has reached its maximum setting you will crash the server. If this happens consistently, Make sure the LAN card is running at highest speed and full duplex...

    iscsi

    Not sure if I read your post right but, if the cluster node cannot see the sbd partition it will not load cluster services. If you unplug the router then the node cannot see the sbd. This is not an iscsi issue. This happens on all Netware clusters. The nodes MUST be able to see/access the SBD...

    Groupwise 5.5 Backup

    Just done a disaster recovery exercise for a customer of ours with Groupwise 5.5. Instead of a tape backup I used gwbackupp to copy the data to another server so the database is copied without shutting down agents. Then a tape backup of the copied data is run. With a little work this can mean...

    copying files from netware 4.11

    You cannot login to a netware 4.11 server using IP. It only supports ncp over ipx. To get this working you have a couple of options. 1. Configure nwip on the boxes. 2. Use another netware 5.x or 6.x as a scmd gateway on the LAN that holds the 4.11 server. That pretty much is your only way if...

    dsrepair woes

    You only needed to do the n100 but no great shakes doing the full backrev. To have a need to run a full unattended you moust have big probs. I suggest you try running each option individually. My initial thought is - it is having an issue with repairing network addresses. We need to find out...

    dsrepair woes

    There is an issue with softpaq 6.4 and n100 cards. Not sure if it is related to your hardware. The fix is to backrev the n100 driver. Loads of comms issues with the 6.4x one. Lee Smith Associated Network Services Snr Systems Engineer Lee.Smith@ANSPLC.Com

    Backup Solution

    The admin is the main problem but a sdlt drive in your server will backup 160Gb to 320Gb. That is plenty and with arcserve or backup exec get the remote agents. Can't believe someone would try and rip you of like that when it is an extreamly simple solution. Even having an just a dlt on each...
