Hello out there in NetLand! Our site is in the process of upgrading several networks of XT-compatibles from NetWare 2.0A to 2.2 . We seem to have run into a problem with the remote boot EPROMS. These refuse to recognize the new image file's name or format. We are temporarily using a boot file with the new drivers bundled by the old DOSGEN equivilant. But the this seems to interfere with the menu system... Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any wizard got a fix? We aare in the process of replacing/reprogramming new EPROMS, but they won't be available until after X-mas. Also, we have been experiencing problems with our login sequence. On the old system, we had a GO.BAT that repeated the Login: process until one logged in, and then ran MENU Select.Mnu when login occurred. This way we don't have to teach all of our students how to diddle with the system. We tried to port the old batch file to the new version, but Novell doesn't seem to like the looping in it. It comes back with the message "Batch File Not Found." Is this a bug in Novell? Is there a workaround? (DOS 3.3) Inquiring minds want to know... Tanks in advance! ========================================================================== James Scott jscott@gwhs.colorado.edu George Washington H.S., Denver jscott@isis.cs.du.edu "Hire a teenager, while they still know everything!" gwhs@csn.org ==========================================================================
