We're thinking of setting up a server between a Mac and a PC using Novell
Netware 4.1. I was wondering exactly what I need on the Mac to connect
to this.

We bought a book with a CD for two users. On the CD, my Mac identifies
only four files: DT.IPS, INSTALL.BAT, INSTALL.CMD, REV.E. The book
mentions Macintosh as being supported by this version of Netware. It
says that I must use an NDS connection. I sincerely hope that someone on
this list might help me figure this out and get the software I need for
the Mac - or find it on this CD if it's there.

Thank you in advance for your much needed assistance.

Rosemary

PS. This was also sent to MacDosCard list - apologies if anyone receives
two.

The Outlook for Exchange Mac client (new version just released) should
support calendars - provided you do a full install. However, the calendar
data appears to be stored locally on the Mac, meaning you can't log into
Outlook from a PC and expect to see your calendar data.

Maybe next time.

Oh, and certain forms aren't supported either, which I suspect is a visual
basic issue.

Hello all! I just had to email this since I am so happy that it works.
Thanks to all who helped straighten me out with the wintel, mac
networking differences.

Today, our "crappy" old powerbook 5300 acted as a print server &
networking connection for a couple of "foreign" wintel laptops. Frankly
I was amazed that it worked.

As a number of you noted a while back, with Dave running on the Mac,
wintel machines can connect together and print to printers connected via
ethernet to the Mac. The wintel laptops used TCP/IP & windows network
client and the mac just used Dave. We could transfer files, share
documents and everyone could print.

I am so psyched that I can hardly get over it!! (small things ....)

Thanks again for everyone's help with sorting out the wintel networking
side. Your help was really appreciated.
Regards
Philip

        Good morning!

>From <http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2274574,00.html>:

        Anti-virus researchers warn that PC-emulation programs and multiplatform
networks can leave some Macintoshes just as vulnerable to the
Worm.ExploreZip virus as Windows computers.
[click link above for full story.]

        Also, when searching hard drives, search for variants named
TROJ_EXPLORE.ZIP and I-Worm.ZippedFiles. I use the following strings (for
windows Find File:
*explore.* and *zip*.*
{Reference <http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2274418,00.html>)

        Cheers!

11:15 PM FOLLOW-UP: After I composed this note but before I could dial out
on COM2 on my analog modem to send it, I received a call from a major
client of mine. Guess what? They got hit with EXPLORE.ZIP. Turns out a
salesman was on the road and didn't pay attention to the memos sent to him.
He sent an eMail to a contact at AT&T, and promptly received back a message
*asking* him to open the attached zipped file. Ka-ching! :)

You have two way

1. Install AppleShare for Novell Clients (Server)
Procedures
load install
install product
netware for mac

In result (add appletalk, bind appletalk, add macname space)

Novell server is see how macintosh computers in chooser

Also you can read detail instaraction in electronic doc set

2. Install Novell Client for Mac Computers
Is self extract archive for mac
Add ipx protocol and NDS services for you MAC

(for storage file need add MAC name space for server)

Best regards,

We spent part of the winter testing the Exchange server with both mac & NT =

this yielded the response, "You're correct, macs can't share calendars. =
Sorry, we no plans for a mac Outlook upgrade." It appears that calendar =
data still isn't shareable so maybe that's what they meant.

We've been soaking in Domino/Notes R5 for about 3 weeks now on a small =

pretty darn awesome. I'm glad I turned that Exchange demo CD into a beer =
coaster. I may not get out much, but so far Domino has been just about =
the coolest software I've ever seen.

PS - I *don't* have a hate-on against microsoft. But IMHO, their exchange =
server/outlook client really misses the mark when it comes to x-platform =
support and integration.
