We just completed an upgrade from NLM version 1.06 to 1.12. We are experiencing random lockups of the 95 workstations. Each PC uses Norton Antivirus and have disabled the scan on open.

I have ran regclean and did "clean/fix" the registry which did appear to help, but we have several HP VE 5/75s that still freeze or loose the novell drive mappings each time the program is exited.

We are loading the TSR with the /p option.

Any suggestions?

This is a wild guess, but I had a Novell server

this week where the same symptoms occured - gradual

loss of network drive mappings as traffic was exerted

to each network drive letter in turn. It turned out

to be a faulty network card. Try swap the HP

netwrk cards and see if their problem persists.

Steve:

Thanks for the reply. Did you have to tweak any of the settings on the computers to resolve this? We have seen that it only appears on the HP Vectra Pentium 75s (HP VE5/75) and not on any of the later Vectra VLs.

The fault was purely hardware. It also occured to me

that you should check the Bios settings for re-mapped ROM addresses. Perhaps there is a clash between your network shell and (a) on-motherboard video, or something operating between

640 kB and 1 Mb addresses. Again - pure guesses - Novell

keeps a list of drives active internal to the network

shell. If this loads high you may have to exclude some

RAM areas used by your memory manager to avoid the video

array. Ensure the video driver is correct, or else

disable any motherboard based video, and install a

cheap S3 based card and use the standard S3 drivers,

if possible.

Compaq and HP often fall into the "difficult

configuration" class, owing to their propietary

and often non-standard (quirky) implementation.

There is a novell patch 95220i.exe that appears solves the Intranetware 2.2 reported problems. The "popular" application switches, onlyl the /p is really required.
