VOL2857 ABS 4257 6-15-90 Abstract by PoCo
25 File(s) 31744 bytes free on volume VOL2857
I've created a "poor man's" diagnostic tool for NETBIOS networks. It is easy
to use, and provides statistics about any network workstation on the network.
These statistics include adapter error counts, which are used to
locate cabling adapter malfunctions, and resource information,
which is used to view the size and number of buffers and network
names in use at any time.
The program is called "NETERROR". It uses the NETBIOS
"STATUS" command (0x33), which is invoked using the 0x5C
interrupt, the NETBIOS function interface. This command returns
1,922 bytes of information about the requested adapter. The
adapter can be LOCAL (in the workstation that is executing the
program) or REMOTE. The command can even succeed to report the
status of a REMOTE adapter in a workstation that is "hung" by
some unknown reason, provided the NETBIOS code is still active.
This is a great way to see if the reason a workstation is "hung"
is related to the network.
********
Name NEWNODE.COM
Purpose Reports the node (physical) address of the network interface
card, as set when the Novell NetWare Shell was first run. This
can be used to run a diskless workstation as a database server,
communication server, bridge or other non-operator controlled
function without logging into the network.
*******
PERFORM.EXE is a useful utility for determining data
throughput in a given system. This system can be a stand
alone PC, a Novell NetWare local area network, or any other
local area network.
The files that are created by PERFORM and subsequently
written to and read from are simple DOS files. Standard DOS
functions are used to create, open, read from, and write to
the
files.
Remote Job Utility
Version 1.1 July 1986
This utility allows one workstation on a Novell Network to be placed
in a mode whereby it may execute jobs (either programs or batch files)
sent to it by other users. One example how this might be used is for
programmers to use the remote job station to compile their programs,
thus freeing up the programmer workstation to do something else.
********
ROMREL will release the hooks into the system BIOS made by the
Netware Remote Boot ROM to facilitate the use of alternate
device drivers with the network interface card (NIC).
**********
SELPATH is a TSR that allows SELective PATH redirection of DOS 2 and above
file accesses and provides logging of DOS file accesses. The program was
written primarily to avoid the requirement to load multiple copies of
licenced software onto a network system when only a few files needed to be
duplicated.
For example consider the case where you have multiple users who all use a
program called LICPRG which has overlays etc. and takes up
significant disk
space, and LICPRG saves the user's printer and screen parameters in a file
called LICPRG.DEF which must be in the same directory as LICPRG. Unless you
are prepared to put up with the different users writing over the single
LICPRG.DEF file, you must load a copy of the entire program for each user in
his/her own directory. With SELPATH each user would load SELPATH before
running LICPRG and instruct it to redirect references to LICPRG.DEF to a file
called USERn.DEF different for each user. This approach could be used
with Lotus, (not to avoid licence costs, only to save disk space), you could
put the line:
123.CFG \mydir\123.CFG
to keep your own copy of the configuration (actually you can do this other
ways).
TESTNET.EXE
TESTNET this utility is intended to test the performance of Local
Area Networks. It may also be used to test stand alone PC's.
The valuable results of this test will show the total elapsed
time in seconds and total throughput in KB/sec transferred to
disk. Using a SEQUENTIAL file access method tests server disk and
caching performance. Using OVERLAID file access tests reflects
more of the network interface performance as well as local
(workstation) cache techniques.
