Novell Client/Server Operation
20-18 Managing IPX
• Use DOS batch files with all the commands necessary to load and activate the
remote node access software and Novell software for establishing an IPX
connection. Refer to the remote node access software installation guide for
additional information.
• Use local Novell login scripts to facilitate logging in to a Novell fileserver.
• If Novell packet burst is used, specify a maximum of 3 for PB BUFFERS in
NET.CFG. Using PB BUFFERS > 3 may cause access server buffers to be
depleted for PPP at the port causing poor performance. In some cases, it may be
better to disable packet burst by defining PB BUFFERS=0 in NET.CFG. You can
determine if packets are being dropped by the access server by using the SHOW
PORT
n
PPP COUNTERS command from a access server management port,
where
n
is the port with the Novell connection.
