Very Computer

Sorry, I've been out of it for awhile.

I've got a Netware 4.10 server. I'm thinking about upgrading to Netware 4.11.
What, if any, gotcha's are involved? I plan on continuing to use IPX for
at least awhile, but may migrate to IP later. I will enable IP immediately,
however, in order to use the Web server.

I'm using an OS/2 client and running NWAdmin in a Win-OS/2 session.
Will this continue to work with IntraNetware? Please tell me I don't
need Windows 95 in order to run my net...

E-mail replies would be greatly appreciated, as I don't hit this group
as often as I should. Thanks in advance.

There is one little bug for me tough: the new NWADMIN3X does not work
yet in a WinOS2 session (config problem ?) so I have to use NWADMIN
which does the job perfectly well anyway.

I have also installed the IPX/IP Gateway and the Novell Web Server on my
network and there is no need to migrate to IP.

As for Windows 95 well, not only you don't need it, you certainly don't
need the bugs in it.

As a Netware network administrator and OS/2 user, I sure would like to
exchange tips and solutions with you.

Be careful if you have any volumes that have mac name space on them.  A
few of our servers corrupted several of the macintosh file when they were
upgraded from 4.1 to 4.11.  A talk with Novell tech, informed me that the
name space files are upgraded when you install 4.11 (unless you have installed
the nam41a patch kit, which of course you are suppose to wipe out the volume
to install.), and this upgrade process works "most" of the time, but now
always.

I tried everything that Novell tech suggested, and all of my own ideas, and
was
unable to fix the files.  So I had to go to tape...

NWAdmin does continue to work fine under win-os/2.  I have heard people say
that they are having problems running the nwadmin3x under win-os/2 but it
