> In our setup we do not allow Client32 to auto select anything. We set the frame type, Speed and Duplex mode. IPX/SPX is our default protocol (NetBios is enabled over IPX/SPX) and TCPIP is the only other protocol loaded. We also disable source routing. Some of our settings are driven by software we must support across the network.

I can't remember that last server crash that could not be traced to a user (or Network Admin) doing something stupid. But a plug for Netware 3.12, I had a server up for 768 days before we took it down to upgrade the memory (up to 64 Megs) and add an additional hard disk (Up to 4 GIG). Those were the days (only 2 years ago).

Thanks a lot... I will pass it on.

PS I remember those days too. I had a 3.12 server that I only had to take down when the power went out. I think I got about the same number of days 6-650.
