- Hello there!
-
- We have several problems using ODI drivers with Meridian Data CD_NET.
-
- If anyone can help me.......
-
- First our Workstation (AST and Tandon) configuration:
-
- DOS 5.0,
- HIMEM, EMM386, SMARTDRV.EXE all newest versions shipped with
- Windows 3.1.
- LSL, Ver 1.21, 7662 Bytes, 10.3.92
- (special card driver, different network cards)
- IPXODI, Ver. 1.2, 20903 Bytes, 10.3.92
- NETX, Ver. 3.26, 52443 Bytes, 10.3.92
-
- Older EMM386, SMARTDRV.SYS, IPXODI, NETX show the same problems.
-
- NET.CFG is available and loaded.
-
- We have two fileservers running Novell 3.11.
-
- Following the problem(s):
-
- 1.) The keyboardrate resets to boot-default when a SEND msg arrives
- With this NETXversion the beep while SENDs arrive occurs TWO times (one
- high, one low).
-
- 2.) Sometimes (not repeatable) the DOS DIR command fails until the next
- boot. This happens only on Networkdrives. All other commands are ok,
- programs will be executed normally. On local floppydrives sometimes the
- first access fails, the second try works.
-
- 3.) Clipperapplications return sometimes "Not enough memory" (with about
- 600 kB free). SET CLIPPER=E000 has no effect.
-
- 4.) Some workstations doesn't show the second problem but boot from
- time to time (aargh!).
-
- 5.) In out network integrated are three CD-servers running Meridian Data
- CD-NET Ver. 4.3 / 4.2 (IPX peer to peer). The drivers can be loaded and
- unloaded on stations running IPX (linked) and NETX. On stations running ODI
- drivers the first try works, loading the drivers a second time will hang
- the PC when trying to run MSCDEX.
- The Drivers are:
- NWDRIVER (Meridian Data IPX Driver for connection to CD-servers)
- LOAD_EX (Meridian Data), which starts MSCDEX removable.
-
- All this appears ONLY on workstations with ODI drivers. The same
- workstations worked fine with "normal" IPX before.
- Why ODI?
- First: To use our new IP-Router
- Second: To use Windows 3.1 without new-linking the IPX.
-
- I would be *VERY* grateful, if anyone can help me.....
