Odgovor za DULEV-a. Malo na brzinu pisano ali moram da zurim zbog ocajnih veza. U Mrezi ostaje samo 3.12 server a 3.11 ide za radnu stanicu i u rezervu. Na 3.12 je mala particija pa sam je nameravao prosiriti medjutim to nije moguce bez gubljenja podataka, odnosno kao sto Vi rekoste ,uraditi NBackup. To je izgleda jedino resenje. PS.: MOze li dok su oba servera na vezi da se sa 3.11 na 3.12 kopiraju sistemska prava direktorijumi i sve ostalo ?

> PS.: MOze li dok su oba servera na vezi da se sa 3.11 na 3.12 > kopiraju sistemska prava direktorijumi i sve ostalo ? Moze. Naravno, najlakse je sa nbackup. Treba koristiti nbackup onog servera (verzije) koji ostaje, tj. na koji se bekapuje, odnosno, u tvom slucaju nbackup verzije 3.12. BTW, ako su isti tipovi diskova, a sve jedno ti je koja verzija Novell-a treba da bude, mozda je resenje za tvoje probleme jednostavna zamena diskova i memorije izmedju racunara. Inace, nema potrebe za personiranje. :) (dv)

Evo i jednog kratkog (od nezavisnog izvora) tabelarnog pregleda vodećih mrežnih operativnih sistema (servera) i njihovih prednosti/mana, kada koji treba koristiti i sl, Pokriveni su Novell Netware, IBM OS/2 Warp, Microsoft Windows NT, DEC Pathworks i Banyan Vines (sortirani po zastupljenosti ;). ocene.htm
mreze.310 gavrilpred,
Trebao bi mi odgovor od nekog ko je imao iskustva sa instalacijom Windows 3.11 pod Novell-om 3.1. Naime posto je jedna takva instalacija greskom obrisana, krenuo sam sa ponovnom instalacijom (setup/a), i to je proslo O.K. Zatim krenem sa setup/n, i to krene dobro, ali zatim u toku instalacije, posle izbora tipa mrezne kartice, u toku kopiranja fajlova, javi da nemoze da kopira fajlove: NETWARE.DRV NETWARE.HLP NWPOPUP.EXE VIPX.386 VNETWARE.386 Nije mogao da ih kopira zato sto tih fajlova vise nije bilo ni u WINDOWS direktorijumu ni u Novell-ovom SYSTEM direktorijumu. Ja sam se u medjuvremenu snasao i povratio te fajlove koji su se do tada nalazili u WINDOWS direktorijumu i koji su,kao sto rekoh, bili obrisani, ali me interesuje gde bi oni u stvari trebalo da se nalaze i ko ih tamo smesta.Jer posle administrativne istalacije Windowsa ja ih nisam imao. Tu prvobitnu administrativnu instalaciju ja nisam napravio, a u medjuvremenu sam X puta instalirao Windowse za pojedine korisnike i to je prolazilo bez problema. E sad, verovatno je problem sto su mi i Windows i Novell (za sada) piratske verzije, pa su mozda falicne. Pretpostavljam da bi ti fajlovi trebalo da se nalaze ili u zajednickom Windows direktorijumu, ili u Novell-ovom System direktorijumu ili mozda na WSGEN disketi. Da li neko mozda zna nesto vise (npr. i cemu ti fajlovi sluze)?

Ako se radi o Windows for Workgroups 3.11, tih fajlova tamo jednostavno nema. Ovih fajlova pak ima u instalaciji Windows 3.1 (koji je za razliku od 3.11 gotovo uvek hteo lepo da saradjuje sa NetWare-om), i one nose datum 8/20/92. Ako su fajlovi koje imas ovog datuma, onda najverovatnije poticu iz instalacije Win 3.1 i njegove podrske za Novell NetWare. Ako su pak fajlovi nesto novijeg datuma (barem godinu dana mladji :) onda su najverovatnije iz nekog od Novellovih up-date-ova NetWare klijenata za MS Windows. >rekoh, bili obrisani, ali me interesuje gde bi oni u stvari >trebalo da se nalaze i ko ih tamo smesta.Jer posle >administrativne istalacije Windowsa ja ih nisam imao. Dakle, ako imas 3.1 smesta ih sam Windows. U slucaju 3.11 treba ih ubaciti 'rucno', osim ako se ne radi upgrade sa 3.1 na 3.11. >mozda na WSGEN disketi. Da li neko mozda zna nesto vise (npr. >i cemu ti fajlovi sluze)? Ukratko i uprosceno receno, sistemske komponente potrebne Windowsu da bi mogao da koristi resurse NetWare mreze, kao i podrska sa IPX mrezni protokol.
mreze.312 smilicic,
Pitanje za malo bolje stručnjake za mreže od mene: Na poslu imamo Novell 3.12 server i nekoliko radnih stanica koje rade pod win3.11wg. E sad, potrebno je ostvariti da se stanice "vide" međusobno tj. svi diskovi sa svake stanice takoreći ;) "peer to peer". Logično rešenje je podići Microsoft-ovu mrežu koja bi radila u kooperaciji sa Novelovom. Ovo je OK ali kada se to uradi onda dolazi do kolizije sa Trumpet Winsock-om koji nam koristi kao veza sa Internetom. Kolizija se ogleda u tome da sve izgleda kao da radi ali se "vekovima" čeka na odziv Netscape-a (i ne dočeka) itsl. E sad tu je glavno pitanje. Rečeni Trumpet Winsock radi pomoću glupog winpkt.com koji se učitava iz autoexec-a. Da li je moguće koristiti nekako drugačije socket-e tj. normalno koristiti Netscape i ostale Internet alate a da se ne koristi winpkt.com već neki drugi drajver ili neki sasvim drugi program (a ne Trumpet)?? U autoexec-u stanice stoji sledeće: lsl ne2000 ipxodi odipkt 1 96 winpkt 0x60 Negde ovde ima još i vlm.exe (čini mi se) ali se ne sećam baš najbolje gde. Hints?

Pozdrav! Da li je moguce na server Novell mreze instalirati Win95 i potom koristiti W95 na radnim stanicama u kojima nema hard diska? Ne pratim inace ovu konfu, pa mi ne zamerite ako je vec vidjeno pitanje.

* Da li je moguce na server Novell mreze instalirati * Win95 i potom koristiti W95 na radnim stanicama u * kojima nema hard diska? Da, s tim što se mora razdvojiti fiksni od promenljivog dela Win95. U najkraćem: obaviš administrativnu instalaciju (raspakivanje) celog Win95 (beše setup /a?) u neki read-only katalog, a onda svaki korisnik pokrene setup i instalira workstation verziju (samo ono što se mora i menja pri radu) u neki svoj katalog na serveru u kome ima sva prava.

>Da li je moguce na server Novell mreze instalirati >Win95 i potom koristiti W95 na radnim stanicama u >kojima nema hard diska? Za potpune diskless Win95 stanice ce ti biti potreban NT 4.0 Server i odgovarajuci boot EPROM za tvoje mrezne kartice (koji se mora porucivati iz inostranstva i to samo za odredjeni tip kartice, sto je dodatna kom- plikacija). Dakle, eventualno zateceni boot EPROM-i za NetWare (DOS) se nikako ne mogu iskoristiti. A o svrsishodnosti jednog ovakvog poduhvata je ovde vec bilo reci, no ukra- tko: sa Ethernetovih ogranicenjem od 10 MBps nije od velike koristi, posto bi sve to bilo toliko sporo da bi gotovo bilo neupotrebljivo. Na Fast Eth- ernetu situacija bi vec bila dosta bolja, jer je propusna moc mreze veca, ali se tu onda kao potencijalno usko grlo javlja disk na samom serveru. Osim toga, ako neko ima para za 100 Mbps umrezavanje, sigurno ima i para da radne stanice opremi barem nekim minimalnim sistemskim hard-diskovima.

Floppy-em :). Jako je nezgodno petljati sa boot epromima (verzije kartica, verzije OS-ova... uvek neki problemi) pa ih nikad ne koristim.

Bolje je staviti makar polovne hardove od po 100 DM na svaku stanicu - mreža nnogo bolje radi.

A tek smo se "navikli" na 100Mbps mreže... :) Gigabit Ethernet vendors make a server splashdown Pre-standard Gigabit Ethernet products are set to begin shipping next week as two early vendors focus on bringing the high-speed technology to where the data is: server farms. GigaLabs, which currently sells switches and adapters that utilize a direct server bus-to-switch technology called I/O Switching, said it will ship next week Gigabit Ethernet-compatible devices based on those products. Alteon Networks, a start-up with roots in supercomputer networking, will ship its first products in March. Its Gigabit Ethernet server switches and adapters are designed for high-speed networks of servers. Gigabit Ethernet is designed to deliver 1Gbps of throughput using conventional Ethernet frames. A standard for the technology is expected to be largely finished in mid-1997 and approved next year. Analysts said the two vendors offer attractive solutions to a growing problem: As servers take on a more central role in the enterprise, the pipes that carry that data in and out of them need to be more efficient. "There are quite a few people who have collections of servers they have to connect together," said Dave Passmore, president of Decisys, a consultancy in Sterling, Va. "Gigabit Ethernet is a great way to support a back-end server network." GigaLabs' GigaStar 3000 switch offers eight full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet ports. Alteon's AceSwitch 110, shipping in March, features eight 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports and one full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet port. A second gigabit-speed module can be added. The company's AceNIC adapter for PCI servers also will ship in March. Software for the adapters will allow servers to exchange data in fewer, larger packets, so the server CPUs are interrupted less often. "A lot of servers aren't capable of utilizing the throughput of a high-speed network," said Frank Dzubeck, president of Communications Network Architects, in Washington. "Alteon's software gives them the capability of doing that." The GigaStar 3000 will cost $11,000; GigaLabs' adapter will cost $3,495. Alteon's AceSwitch 110 will be priced at $8,995, and its adapter at $1,495.

Cheyenne pens deal with Microsoft to create directory services management program for NT 5.0 The Cheyenne division of Computer Associates next week will announce it has inked a deal with Microsoft to develop a directory services management program for Active Directory, Microsoft's directory that will ship with NT 5.0 later this year. DS Standard for Windows NT will provide IS managers one-console access to both Novell's Novell Directory Services and Active Directory. "We find a lot of people are going to use both [directories]," said Jack Serfass, general manager of Cheyenne's directory services group. DS Standard will also enable IS managers to work on their directories offline by taking a snapshot of the current network. By modeling the directories offline, an IS manager doesn't have to worry about affecting the live network, Serfass said. DS Standard for NT will ship at the same time as Windows NT 5.0. Pricing has not been set. Cheyenne has also been working with Microsoft to develop disk disaster recovery software for Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 servers and workstations. Cheyenne Disaster Recovery is a bootable-disk solution that works with any backup application that uses the Microsoft Tape Format. With one disk and a few wizards, an end-user can fully restore a downed server without having to restore the operating system. "This makes available to Windows NT customers a disaster recovery solution that is easy to use by an unsophisticated end-user and brings back the server in a matter of minutes," said T.M. Ravi, vice president of marketing for Cheyenne's NT division. The disaster recovery software is already integrated with Cheyenne's ARCServe product and CA's Unicenter systems management platform. The disaster recovery product costs $395 and is now available. ARCServe customers can receive a free copy of the disaster recovery software through March 31, either from the company or its Web page.

Ako imate Netware i Unix-e... Novell is shipping Version 2.12 of its Network File System (NFS) Services. NFS Services are designed to provide file sharing between IntranetWare or NetWare 4.11 servers and any NFS-compliant platform including Unix. Enhancements with the new version include centralized installation and configuration and a single point of administration through Novell Directory Services. NFS Services cost $2,995 per server license or $400 for users of Version 2.1. Version 2.12 of the companion Print Services product -- which is designed to allow Novell users to print documents whether they are on a Unix or InternetWare server -- are also available, costing $995 per server, or $200 for users that are upgrading from the earlier version.

Prikaz Novell-ovog "IntranetWare for Small Business 1.1", verzije Netware-a (tj. IntranetWare-a) za manje mreže, sa lakšim instaliranjem i administriranjem. Ima i NEAT (Novell Easy Administration Tool :), ali bih zaista voleo da znam ko im je smislio ovako "pametno" ime za sam program... ;) `Slim' IntranetWare focuses on small businesses By Jeff Symoens Implementing IT in a small business has a distinct set of challenges. The solutions must fall within the capabilities of a consultant or someone in-house and must stay within budget. In addition, the solutions need to grow at the same rate as the business. Novell's IntranetWare for Small Business 1.1 (NetWare 4.11) meets many of these challenges, although it does turn off the tap at 25 users. Until now, Novell's flagship network OS (NOS), IntranetWare, has been a great solution for midsize to large companies, but it's been a bit complex and pricey for small organizations. IntranetWare for Small Business provides easier administration and more cost-effective pricing. Although the Novell product is more competitive with Microsoft Windows NT Server or Workstation for small businesses, you'll want to examine your needs (including in-house expertise, cost, and supplemental network applications) before deploying IntranetWare for Small Business. What's different To a great extent, IntranetWare for Small Business is the same as the IntranetWare product. There are differences, though. For example, the Small Business version doesn't have all of the same add-on components, such as the multiprotocol router (making it unsuitable for branch offices), FTP server, and IPX-to-TCP/IP gateway. One of the most striking differences between the two products is that installing and configuring the Small Business version is quite a bit easier. I was impressed with the product's ease of installation. If you can create a DOS partition, format it, and load a DOS-based CD-ROM device driver, you can install IntranetWare for Small Business. After setting up my initial DOS partition and CD-ROM drive, installing IntranetWare for Small Business required almost no effort. There is one caveat: If you do run into a snag with hardware that the NOS doesn't support directly or a driver fails to load, you'll need some NetWare expertise to get things working. The IntranetWare for Small Business install automatically partitioned my disk volumes and handled the configuration of my Novell Directory Services tree. However, I did have to separately configure NetWare Connect (a feature not included in IntranetWare). This version of IntranetWare has a QuickStart program and the Novell Easy Administration Tool (NEAT). The QuickStart program is an easy-to-use, wizardlike application that makes the process of adding users, groups, and printers to the network a breeze. And NEAT picks up where QuickStart leaves off, giving inexperienced administrators simple tools to administer users and groups. The eight-port version of NetWare Connect included with IntranetWare for Small Business lets you provide dial-in and dial-out services to users, but it doesn't offer any compelling advantage over Windows NT Server's Remote Access Server. In fact, support for multilink bandwidth aggregation (combining the bandwidth of two data-communications lines into a single, logical, higher throughput data connection) and Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (establishing a secure, virtual private network connection over public-access networks such as the Internet) give NT Server the advantage. Like the flagship product, IntranetWare for Small Business has a NetWare/IP feature. This lets native NetWare clients use IP as their core protocol for file-and-print services. And, for those who want to manage their own DNS or deploy an intranet, NetWare/IP includes a DNS server. Novell has priced IntranetWare for Small Business reasonably at $895 for a five-user package. The real deal comes if you upgrade from another NetWare or competitive product: It costs $495 for five users. This makes IntranetWare for Small Business a very cost-effective NOS solution. Some reservations IntranetWare for Small Business is a strong product, but I do have a few reservations. Although the NOS has a lot of the same robust functionality as the standard IntranetWare, the Small Business version supports no more than 25 users. Most sites this size won't need to tap into the product's full power. If a company needs more than the basics, training or consulting will be a must for those without in-house expertise. In that case, NT Server gives greater ease of use. For small sites, too, NT Server is better for running application services on top of core file-and-print services. On the other hand, IntranetWare for Small Business is less expensive, and it requires less hardware for comparable performance than NT Server. I think Novell needs to up the ante a little, perhaps including GroupWise to make the product more compelling. Novell's IntranetWare for Small Business is a viable NOS solution for sites with less than 25 users, although it doesn't offer any particular advantage over NT Server. Your needs will determine which product best suits your situation. The same but different IntranetWare for Small Business 1.1 vs. IntranetWare Features in common NetWare 4.11 Web Server 2.51 NetWare/IP (includes DNS) Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server Novell Directory Services (NDS) migration tools NetBasic Interpreter Exclusive to IntranetWare for Small Business Nodal-based licensing NetWare Connect (eight-port version) Netscape Navigator 3.0 Single site directory Built-in ManageWise agent QuickStart and Novell Easy Administration Tool applications Exclusive to IntranetWare Multiprotocol routing IP-to-IPX gateway Netscape Navigator 2.1 Hierarchical/multisite NDS FTP server THE BOTTOM LINE: GOOD IntranetWare for Small Business 1.1 This product is a strong offering at a good price for small businesses looking to implement a network OS. If you're running NetWare 2.x or 3.x and your site has fewer than 25 users, the upgrade is worth it. However, whether IntranetWare for Small Business or Windows NT Server is a better fit depends on your needs. Pros: Installation easier than IntranetWare; easy administration; provides most of the power and options of IntranetWare; includes NetWare Connect; fewer hardware requirements than Windows NT Server; cost-effective licensing. Cons: Advanced options and troubleshooting could require extensive NetWare expertise; limited to maximum 25 users per site; no FTP server.

Došlo je vreme da se Novell-ovi NLM moduli zamenjuju Java programima... Novell embraces Java 1.1 with new SDK Backtracking from years of relying on proprietary tools, Novell Inc. is trying to make its networking technologies more open to developers through integrated Java client and server support. Novell's new IntranetWare SDK (software development kit) for Java 1.1 is now available in an early access version from the company's Web site, with final code due by midyear, said Patrick Harr, Java product marketing manager for the Orem, Utah, company. Novell will integrate the new SDK, a Java virtual machine and just-in-time compilers into the next release of IntranetWare, which is due this spring. The new IntranetWare SDK, based on JavaSoft Inc.'s just-released Java 1.1 technology, provides an easier-to-use GUI and tools for internationalizing products and creating digital signatures, said Steve Holbrook, Novell Java product line manager. With a legacy of proprietary and often complex NetWare Loadable Modules built on its NetWare platform, Novell now must prove its commitment to an open development platform. But its efforts may be too little, too late for some developers. Its first-ever DeveloperNet conference, planned for last December, was canceled due to a lack of developer interest, said sources close to the company. Novell will take a second stab at wooing ISVs through an open developer track at its BrainShare conference later this month. Working with other vendors, Novell is creating Java interfaces for network services to make Java a better development platform for networked applications. One such initiative is a Java Directory Interface, due this month, which enables Java applications to leverage different naming services--including Novell Directory Services, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol and x.500--through a pure Java API. Novell is expected to provide more details of the specification at next week's Spring Internet World Conference in Los Angeles. Novell is also working on a native Java client that would utilize the CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) Internet Inter-ORB Protocol to communicate with back-end servers, said Holbrook. Novell's goal is to provide Java on its clients and servers and to support CORBA as its distributed object infrastructure.

Jos nesto od skorasnjem preuzimanju US Roboticsa od strane 3Com-a, i kako ce se to odraziti na druge velike proizvodjace ove opreme. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 3Com Bets the Farm to Corner "Down Market" Futures On February 26th, the networking industry consolidated once again. Eric Benhamou, 3Com's chairman and CEO, pulled off the largest acquisition in internetworking history by purchasing US Robotics (USR) for $6.6B in 3Com stock. With combined annual revenues of $5B and a run-rate of about $5.7B, this gutsy play catapults 3Com into the #2 internetworking vendor slot and the elite top 10 firms traded on the NASDAQ. It puts 3Com one or two deals away from eclipsing Cisco's $6.4B run-rate -- and stealing the coveted #1 position in the networking industry. 3Com/USR: A Complementary Marriage Amazingly, there is almost no product overlap with this twosome. By acquiring USR, the adapter-hub-switch-router maven (3Com) adds: a healthy modem revenue stream with leading technology (x2/56Kbps); the number two player behind Ascend in remote access; ISDN investments; and, the hot hand- held "connected organizer" called Pilot. The few overlapping point products (e.g. USR's entry in switching was via its AmberWave and Scorpio deal resulting in the TOTALswitch and TOTALcell products) will be rationalized; striking there is little overlap here even in the switching products. Expect the TOTALCell to be subsumed or scrapped by the prevailing 3Com or USR product line manager. In addition, 3Com (king of the distributor/VAR channel for enterprise buyers) gains extensive retail distribution and an "in" with the largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The two can also consolidate manufacturing to drive down costs via economies of scale and large volume purchase deals from suppliers. Plus, both firms share a yen to climb out of their commodity product pigeonholes and into the more exalted "end-to-end systems solutions" -- where fewer vendors intervene in the path of a packet as it traverses the LAN and WAN. "Pervasive Networking" Drives 3Com's Buy For some time now, 3Com has been espousing the concept of "pervasive networking": networking integral to both office and home automation. In other words, networking infiltrates homes, mom-and-pop stores, Small Offices/Home Offices (SOHO) and mid-size enterprises. Benhamou is gambling that there will be a shift "down market" and in the not-too-distant future, networking vendors will generate a larger share of revenue from smaller buyers. Market projections support 3Com's position. While the large enterprise networking market will continue to be lucrative, IDC posits slowest growth in this high-end sector: from $6B in 1996 to $8B by the year 2000. In the same time frame, the mid-tier blossoms from $4B to $11B and SOHO expands from $1B to $6B. 3Com has tried to penetrate these "down market" segments via EtherLink III adapters, OfficeConnect, 3Com Red and Network Ready programs with mixed results. But now, USR helps 3Com capitalize on pervasive networking with two critical contributions: 1) Channels. Access to the hottest growth sectors was the central motivation behind 3Com's buy. USR's well-oiled retail distribution reaches these buyers directly. Its booming business with ISPs taps users indirectly via remote access, Inter- and intranet hookups . . . USR is the pre- eminent supplier to dial-up heavyweights AOL, CompuServe, IBM GlobalNet, MCI, Netcom and Sprint. 2) Branding. Its coup in branding 3Com Park suggests that the company sees value in name recognition. USR's notoriety in markets that buy on brand can accelerate 3Com's "pervasive networking" push. Smart Move, Mr. Benhamou We think 3Com's acquisition of USR is good for 3Com. It plays to both companies' strengths. By aiming at a different bull's-eye, 3Com can extricate itself from the tedious game of nipping at Cisco's heels. And we think the deal is good for the networking industry overall it shakes up competitive dynamics by leapfrogging Cisco et al. in the coming charge "down market." But is the timing right for such a bold move? For the SOHO and mid-tier markets, we think 3Com is right on time. It may be early for the consumer market, but better to be too early than too late. 3Com's hand may have been forced a bit. Had it not been approached by USR, 3Com may have delayed placing such a big bet. But if it had given USR the brush-off, the modem master would have shopped around the neighborhood and ended up mating with Cisco, Bay or one of the others. Ironically, 3Com may also get a secondary boost in sales to large enterprises. Though the majority of its revenue comes from components, 3Com also sells some large, complex networks to the Global 2000. We see three factors coming from the acquisition that could bring in more enterprise business: 1) Heft. With 3Com's expanded size and financial clout, it will behoove big company CIOs to give the #2 player a serious look when making major networking purchases. 2) Shift towards remote access. As remote access becomes a significant percentage of wide area backbone costs, network executives will pay more attention to this part of the network. Many will find themselves on 3Com's remote access doorstep . . . which may, in turn, pull through sales of 3Com hubs, switches and routers. This shift in emphasis could also diminish the influence of incumbent backbone router vendors. 3) High-end ISP services. 3Com instantly became a force in dial access (be it analog or digital, switching and routing) and is well positioned to deliver new high speed access solutions such as ADSL and cable modems. With its IBM and Cascade relationships, 3Com can offer ISPs a "differentiable" fast IP service for the lucrative enterprise customer. 3Com premises networking equipment could piggy-back on these services -- delivered via the ISP or 3Com itself. Impact on the Industry So what does 3Com's new industry position mean for its key competitors? If Benhamou's bet pays off, we foresee some sleepless nights for his cronies: Cisco Out-flanked? Today, Cisco clearly owns the dominant position in large enterprise clients. If it is true to form, sales reps will belittle 3Com's component position to its advantage in this favored customer base. Cisco has some good ammo. Despite 3Com's insistence that it competes with the best of the systems purveyors, the 3Com/USR combo results in a component manufacturer with NICs and modems accounting for about 60% of revenue. Try as it might to emphasize software as the glue that ties network systems together, Cisco's sales bulldogs will scoff at 3Com's feeble messages and point buyers to the cold, hard facts of 3Com's financials. 3Com's inadequate direct sales force for high-end customers will feel Cisco's heat. But when the time comes for Cisco to shift its sights to the faster growing mid-tier and SOHO markets, it may find itself shut out of the channels to reach them -- blocked by 3Com's soon-to-be entrenched distribution, market share and brand recognition. Cisco thwarted in exploiting future growth options? You heard it here first. Bay Networks Forced to Focus 3Com's newfound remote access clout will push Bay up into the high-end enterprise and carrier/ISP/CATV remote access markets -- to butt heads with Cisco (again). The problem is, with a run-rate of only $2B, Bay lags far behind 3Com and Cisco in resources. The company will be hard-pressed to mount a strong competitive response since it already has its hands full with LAN switching and ATM. Bay may have to abandon some markets altogether. We think it's time for Bay to take a hard look at which internetworking markets it can effectively compete in and forgo others. Look for exit strategies in select product markets. Ascend: The Party's Over Although Ascend currently holds the pre-eminent position in the ISP market, it must now duke it out with a competitor ten times its size in revenue (and even more employees). 3Com can provide deeper service to ISPs who are confused and despondent about how to make money providing Internet access. Ascend, who already runs lean (read: understaffed) in an effort to show rosy financials to Wall Street, will feel even more pressure. Ascend has been stitching together systems solutions for ISPs, broadening its portfolio via acquisitions including $300M for NetStar, $70M for Whitetree and $29M for SoneyBrook. But in our opinion, its vision and value-add are more narrow than 3Com's. Even though 3Com is still putting pieces together that Ascend already has, it is extending its product portfolio both higher and lower simultaneously -- something Ascend cannot afford to do. To make matters worse, a high speed connection service over the Internet from 3Com raises the bar for Ascend. We expect 3Com to leapfrog Ascend by offering large ISPs turnkey solutions for both dial access and back-end transport. Shiva's Strategic Initiative Cut Off Shiva is one of the last go-it-alone remote access vendors. One of its strategic initiatives -- to penetrate the ISP marketplace -- has suddenly become even more arduous than before. We don't think its relationships with IBM and Nortel are enough to weave a compelling story to sell ISPs. This will box Shiva into its enterprise niche, forcing its executives to be more friendly to acquisition overtures from would-be suitors. What Could Go Awry? We think 3Com is on the right track. However, one development that could thwart its pervasive networking push is an Internet meltdown or other high visibility snafus like AOL's recent fiasco. This would jeopardize the company's sales to ISPs and stall development of consumer, SOHO and mid-tier markets. But we believe the chances of an Internet implosion are slim -- especially as more traditional telecom players (who understand 100% uptime goals) join the fracas. And as the Internet boom continues, so will the fortunes of "pervasive networking." What could happen if the SOHO and/or mid-tier markets take longer to materialize than 3Com projects? The company would find itself strapped with a low margin -- albeit huge -- component business. Both the modem and adapter markets are fiercely competitive with intense price pressure. To wit, Intel, who runs slightly behind 3Com in 10/100 NIC market share, lowered prices, forcing 3Com to follow suit. Price cuts erode margins. Period. Combined, modems and NICs account for over half of total revenue -- making pricing dogfights a scary proposition. 3Com spin doctors would be challenged to keep the stock from plummeting into the basement. Doug Spreng, Executive VP 3Com Interface Products, would sweat bullets looking for new ways to shave product costs. And this scenario would keep Bob Finocchio, President 3Com Systems, awake at night dreaming up new ways to win over higher margin enterprise customers -- an option 3Com may well have forfeited by setting its sights down stream. Regardless of these potential gotcha's, our bet is with 3Com. It has successfully innovated timely products like boundary routing and Ethernet switching. We see 3Com poised to catch the next wave. So grab your board, there's a big one coming.

JavaSoft unveils naming and directory API JavaSoft this week revealed the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) API as part of its Enterprise API set. The API is designed to allow developers to tie applications into naming and directory services that comply with the standard. Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Netscape contributed to the specification, which is available in draft form for comment. Novell, another partner, has already implemented it in its Novell Directory Services.

Novell i Netscape razmenjuju tehnologije, pripremaju se za dugoročnu saradnju... Novell partners with Netscape, JavaSoft for IntranetWare Novell Inc. is looking to technologies from Netscape Communications Corp. and JavaSoft to further extend the Internet capabilities of its networking platform. Novell and Netscape are expected to announce at Novell's Brainshare user conference next week an agreement to pair the latter's Internet servers with Novell's IntranetWare operating system, said sources close to both companies. Meanwhile, Novell is working to add JavaSoft's JavaBeans component architecture to its network services and utilities. Last week at Internet World here, Novell announced plans to deliver in the third quarter an implementation of JavaSoft's new JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) for NDS (Novell Directory Services). Although Novell currently licenses Netscape's Navigator browser for IntranetWare, additional integration of such Netscape products as SuiteSpot and such JavaSoft products as JavaBeans could go a long way in establishing IntranetWare as an enterprise Internet platform. "This should scare the bejesus out of Microsoft [Corp.]," said one Novell and Microsoft user who requested anonymity. Novell and Netscape together "could really own the enterprise," he added. "The majority of servers we install for IntranetWare are still just being used for file and print," said Chris Meyers, systems analyst for James Moore & Co., a certified public accounting firm in Gainesville, Fla. Netscape, too, stands to gain from a Novell partnership. Marc Andreessen, Netscape's vice president of technology, intimated last week that a partnership with Novell would bring a much-needed strong reseller connection. A Novell/Netscape partnership could enable Netscape customers to leverage Novell's directory for Netscape servers on IntranetWare. Although Netscape currently offers its own Directory Server, its products would gain the advanced scalability and synchronization capabilities of NDS. Novell's port of NDS to Windows NT this summer also would enhance Netscape products on NT. Adding support for IntranetWare would add another platform for Netscape's servers and complement Netscape's NT product line, sources said. As Novell aims to build closer ties with Netscape, it also is embracing Java technologies to ease development and Web integration. "We're betting the whole farm on Java," said Patrick Harr, Java product marketing manager for Novell, of Orem, Utah. Novell announced last week at Internet World its plans to deliver an NDS implementation of JavaSoft's new JNDI. JNDI enables developers to write directory-enabled applications in Java that can automatically be deployed on native Lightweight Directory Access Protocol and x.500 directories such as Netscape's Directory Server. Novell's JNDI implementation will plug in back-end access to NDS, enabling applications written to the interface to be compatible with NDS as well. Novell also is working to deliver JavaBeans for its network services and utilities, which would enable developers not only to write applications in Java that can register in and leverage the power of a directory, but also to do so using objects. A developer writing a spreadsheet application, for example, could drop in a JavaBean to enable it to print, then drop in a customized JavaBean for the directory that gives the application access to certain printers.

Novell je dobio novog prvog čoveka, to je bivši direktor razvoja u Sun-u. Sun's CTO Schmidt takes helm of Novell Novell's long search for a CEO has ended with the appointment of Eric Schmidt, who leaves his job as chief technology officer at Sun Microsystems to lead the Orem, Utah, networking software company. Schmidt steps into the post that has been vacant since last August, when Robert Frankenberg resigned. He will also take over the role of chairman, which has been filled by John Young since August. Young will become vice chairman of the company. Schmidt called the Novell position, which he will assume on April 7, "the opportunity of a lifetime" in a printed statement. "We are grateful for the many contributions Eric has made to Sun's success," said Scott McNealy, chairman, president, and CEO of Sun, in a statement. "He is an awesome technologist, committed to advancing network computing. We wish him every success in his new position." Schmidt joined Sun in 1983 as manager of software and moved up through the ranks with positions as director of software engineering, vice president and general manager of the software products division, vice president of the general systems group, and president of Sun Technology Enterprises. Schmidt was previously a member of the research staff at the Computer Science Lab at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) and also worked at Bell Laboratories.

Osim što je dobio novog direktora, Novell osniva i novu kompaniju sa Netscape-om (Novonyx), a jedan od glavnih ciljeva je i portovanje cele Netscape linije servera na Novell-ov mrežni operativni sistem koji se sada zove IntranetWare. Novell and Netscape to form new company, port SuiteSpot to IntranetWare Novell and Netscape on Friday announced the formation of a new company with an initial goal of integrating and marketing versions of Netscape's SuiteSpot family of servers running on Novell's IntranetWare platform. Called Novonyx, the privately held and jointly funded company will be based in Utah, although the companies have not settled on a precise location. It will employ 60 to 80 engineers, according to Netscape President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Barksdale. Financial terms of the deal would not be disclosed by either company. Announcing the new company in San Jose, Calif., Novell CEO Joseph Marengi and Barksdale said the decision to form a separate company to market and integrate products reflects a desire to circumvent the "arms-length" nature of traditional OEM/licensing arrangements between companies. They also said it is a way to exploit existing distribution channels and bring products to market quickly that leverage the strengths of both companies -- without detracting from Novell's and Netscape's individual product development plans. "By setting up a separate company, it allows you to focus your efforts on the task at hand -- which right now is putting SuiteSpot on top of IntranetWare," Marengi said. "And then you get good speed to market." Initially, Netscape is contributing a source-code license for SuiteSpot and its FastTrack Server software, which Novonyx will integrate with IntranetWare. FastTrack and Enterprise Server for IntranetWare will be the first two products to come from the new company and are expected this fall. There are no plans to port SuiteSpot and FastTrack Server software to run on Novell's NetWare 3.0 or earlier versions, Marengi said. At the Novell-sponsored BrainShare show in Utah next week, the companies plan to demonstrate Enterprise Server 3.0 ported to IntranetWare as a Network Loadable Module and including Novell's directory, Marengi said. Further down the road, other components of SuiteSpot running on IntranetWare will follow as fruits of the newly formed Novonyx, officials said. The products will be marketed through both companies' sales channels. Although the deal is not exclusive, Barksdale said the company "hasn't contemplated" signing similar deals with any of Novell's rivals, although he drew attention to the fact that the company has already formed two other subsidiaries, the ACTRA company formed with GEIS, and Navio, which was formed with a group of Japanese companies. Because many of the companies' products overlap, most notably groupware and e-mail and Web servers, a number of analysts raised the issue of cannibalization. For example, Novell, they said, will find itself competing with the new company since SuiteSpot on IntranetWare will come up against Novell's competing GroupWare product. Yet Marengi stressed that Novell has no plans to phase out products that are in conflict, such as Groupwise and Netscape's Communicator. Instead, he said Novonyx will offer the best products from both companies, and in some cases integrate them. On Thursday night, a Novell representative alluded to former Novell CEO Ray Noorda's concept of coopetition -- competition and cooperation - and justified the deal by saying that "the bottom line is that we've gotten where we have by being open. We encourage other companies to develop with us." Overall, many analysts were in agreement that -- at least on face value -- the deal is more of a win for Netscape than for Novell. "Certainly the positives here come out on Netscape's side," since the deal gives Netscape access to Novell's huge installed base, as well as its sales channels, said Neil MacDonald, an analyst at the Gartner Group, in Stamford, Conn. However, MacDonald added, Novell does gain something out of the deal. "It gives them a cross-platform Web strategy, which they didn't have before," MacDonald said. Other analysts pointed out that it is IT managers who will benefit most from the new company, as they will now be able to take advantage of Netscape's software without dumping their NetWare installations. And if customers benefit, both Novell and Netscape will cash in. "Customers will be happy about this deal," said Bob Sakakeeny, an analyst with the Aberdeen Group, a consultancy in Boston. "The conventional wisdom is that NT is eating Novell's lunch, but the reality is that very few companies are ripping out NetWare in favor of NT. If anything, they are simply adding NT servers." The deal essentially provides alternatives, Sakakeeny added. "With this, IS buyers aren't locked out or in to a Microsoft option. And with all of the things happening technologically, like Java development, it's good to give people choices," Sakakeeny said. Not surprisingly, Barksdale and Marengi both echoed those sentiments. "There are a significant number of Novell customers with an installed base who want to move to areas that Netscape is touching and leave their architecture alone," Marengi said. Industry analysts said Novell is working double time to form unions on the hardware and applications side with other companies, with Netscape being only the first in a series of announcements expected over the next few months. On Monday, Novell will announce an alliance with Oracle that is aimed in part at getting NetWare directory services to become the de facto industry standard, analysts said. "Novell is working to beef up its industry relationships," Sakakeeny said.

Osim sa Netscape-om, Novell će blisko sarađivati i sa Oracle-om Novell, hot after a Netscape deal, gets cozy with Oracle Next week at its BrainShare conference in Salt Lake City, Novell will reveal a wide-ranging alliance with Oracle and formally announce its Wolf Mountain clustering APIs. The news follows this week's announcement that Netscape and Novell are forming a new company to develop versions of Netscape's SuiteSpot offering that are integrated with Novell Directory Services (NDS) running on IntranetWare. As part of its alliance with Oracle, Novell will announce that NDS has been integrated with Oracle's Web Application Server 3.0 to provide an integrated application development and deployment platform for Oracle's Network Computing Architecture. The integration will allow information on the Web server to be manipulated and managed via NDS, with support for Java, ActiveX, CORBA, and Distributed Component Object Model. Novell will also announce that NDS has been integrated with Oracle's databases running on HP-UX, Windows NT Server, Sun Solaris, and SCO Unix. Novell is already committed to providing versions of NDS for these OSes. This would allow administrators to use the single-log-on feature currently available only for Oracle databases running on IntranetWare. Novell will also announce plans to license Visigenic Software's object request broker technology. Richard Finkelstein, president of Performance Computing, a Chicago consultancy, said that such a deal would be "a way for Oracle to leverage NDS and for Novell to rejuvenate [NDS] technology that is at the moment languishing in the LAN." Novell will also demonstrate its previously outlined Wolf Mountain clustering technology, which will bring fail resilience to file and print services. Novell is promising that the hardware and software package will enable fail-over clusters on Intel-based servers using Scalable Coherent Interface, Tandem ServerNet, and Gigabit Ethernet interconnects. Sources said the technology is not expected to ship in products before 1998.

Novi Novell (Intra)NetWare će biti 64-bitni, moći ćete da pravite virtualne privatne mreže preko Interneta, imaćete podršku za integraciju po CORBA standardima, klastering "out-of-box", umesto NLM-ova moći će da se koristi Java, drastično pojednostavljeno administriranje (NEAT)... sve naravno u Moab-u. Novell details its IntranetWare road map Novell further outlined its road map for IntranetWare here Tuesday at its annual BrainShare conference, pitching the product as an application delivery platform, as well as a network operating system. Novell will provide clustering and 64-bit support for future versions of IntranetWare through its Wolf Mountain technology, and also announced its virtual private network technology, code-named Border Services. Novell officials detailed some capabilities planned for the next-generation IntranetWare product, code-named Moab. Moab will include a multiprocessing kernel, integrated management with Novell Directory Services (NDS), memory protection, and extended Java support, officials said. Moab also will ship with the Visigenic object request broker (ORB), VisiORB for C++, and VisiORB for Java. Novell will make IntranetWare easier to install and configure by integrating its Novell Easy Administration Tool (NEAT) with Moab, according to Coleman Barney, senior director of marketing services for Novell's information access division. "With NEAT you don't have to be an engineer to install IntranetWare," Barney said. Novell began transforming its core product, IntranetWare, from a pure networking operating system to an application delivery platform this week by integrating a Java development environment from Sun Microsystems. Code-named ProjectStudio, the environment will be called JavaStudio when it is launched next week. "IntranetWare is a platform for applications and application development," Barney said. Novell will create the platform "by supporting both Java and CORBA and through our support for Oracle's network computing architecture." Through JavaStudio, Novell will add four services, or Java Beans, to IntranetWare. They will be: applications with a graphical and chart visualization tool; database connectivity tools; a core logic tool that will provide logic between software such as applets and World Wide Web pages; and a business component tool that will provide users with the ability to create spreadsheets and Web pages. Until now, the only way to include these services was to write NetWare Loadable Modules, according to Jim Colburn, product manager for Novell's developer and technology division. "There is an evolution going on here for Novell," said Jean Bozman, research manager for International Data Corp., in Mountain View, Calif. "The concept of what are servers in light of the Internet and Java has changed, because it's not just about accessing file and print services. It's about accessing applets and services." The ability to develop Java applications on IntranetWare may be what it takes to compete with Microsoft's Windows NT Server, according to Jeremy Groendyke, a senior engineer with Sarcom, a systems integrator based in Columbus, Ohio. "My clients are asking for Windows NT because of the amount of applications that Microsoft can deliver over it," Groendyke said. "Java may be just what Novell needs to keep its installed base loyal." Meanwhile, Novell's Border Services will provide customers with the ability to conduct electronic data interchange or build so-called extranets, intranets that extend to users outside the company LAN. Border Services will include a security module that will allow users to encrypt data, as well as feature a proxy server for network caching and increased network speed. Novell also will integrate in Border Services firewall technology from a yet-to-be-named third-party vendor. Border Services will be available on IntranetWare in August.

>Interesuje me kako se moze direktno 'zakaciti' na NOVELL server Potreban ti je Novellov softver pod nazivom NetWare Connect (poslednja verzija je ako se varam 2.0). Instalira se na NetWare server (.nlm) i podrzava preko PPP-a (osim naravno IPX/SPX protokola) i TCP/IP, kao i na primer Mac klijente preko AppleTalk protokola. Moze se kupiti preko ovdasnjih ovlastenih Novell-ovih prodavaca, a cini mi se da je nuzno pret- hodno biti licencirani korisnik NetWare-a, mada moze biti i da se tu nesto promenilo. Cena samog paketa, kao i usluge njegovog instaliranja i odrzava- nja nisu ni malo 'nezne', ali najbolje je da se o tome raspitas kod ovda- snjih prodavaca. >modemom (NE sa PC Anyware) tako da po prekidu veze server 'otkaci' stanicu! :) E, ovo je vec malo veci problem, i nije vezan samo za NetWare nego vazi za sve udaljene pristupe mrezi putem modema, kakva je i ova na Sezamu npr. Nakon nasilnog prekida veze (losa linija) modemi su skloni da se 'zaglupe', i dalje 'drze' CD, pa komunikacioni softwer i dalje misli da je sve u najboljem redu. Sa druge strane ako se vreme neaktivnosti posle koga se prekida veza postavi isuvise kratko, dolazi do problema kod korisnika koji iako ukonektovani retko pristupaju serveru sa nekim upitom za citanje ili pisanje. Ovakva podesavanja i pored dosta iskustva mogu da budu _vrlo_ pipava, i opet ne mogu osigurati 100% rad bez problema, pa cak i sa najkvalitet- nijim dial-in modemima. Srecno! :)

> Interesuje me kako se moze direktno 'zakaciti' na NOVELL server > modemom (NE sa PC Anyware) tako da po prekidu veze server 'otkaci' > stanicu! Imam iskustva sa ACCESS SERVEROM. To je mašina, u lokalnoj mreži, sa istoimenim softverom i sa WNIM karticom, (multi-port serijska kartica) i eksternim modemima (do 4 modema) Dakle, nije baš direktno na server, nego na posebnu mašinu koja je u mreži sa serverom. Stvar radi pod DOS-om 3.30 :), nad njim je DesqView kao multitasking. Ako staviš dve kartice, možeš da priključiš do 8 eksternih modema. Postoje pravila oko količine RAM-a u ovom računaru, ali ovo danas nije problem. Sa druge strane mogu da budu i interni modemi. Zove se iz posebnog programa koji se zove ONLAN, mada bi trebalo da može i iz običnog kom. programa, ali ovo nije radilo svojevremeno. Programi se odvijaju na tom računaru, udaljeni korisnik samo vidi ekrane i prenose se otkucaji sa tastature. Usput i program i modemi vrše kompresiju, stvar je prilično lepo funkcionisala. Ako se veza prekine, "sesija" ostaje aktivna, i kada korisnik zove ponovo, nudi mu se mogućnost da nastavi prekinutu sesiju. Ima mnogo podešavanja, čak i "dial-back", pa verovatno i ovoga da "otkači stanicu". Ako su u pitanju DOS programi u tekst modu, ovo nije loše rešenje.

Nova verzija Vinca-inog StandbyServera za Novell. Vinca to enhance IntranetWare backup servers Recognizing that corporations are beefing up their data-protection and disaster-recovery efforts, Vinca is preparing enhancements to its StandbyServer mirroring system for IntranetWare networks. In May, the company plans to release Version 3.0, which features three key enhancements. The first allows a primary server to be mirrored in real time to multiple backup servers. The company already allows multiple servers to be backed up on a single server. According to Wally Marsden, Vinca's director of NetWare products, the new feature is designed to provide extra protection in the event that the backup server fails. The second feature allows network managers to recreate the status of the database at points in the past before, for example, a corruption occurred. Vinca is also adding support for native IP to StandbyServer. In the third quarter, Vinca will release another product that uses the StandbyServer core technology but allows servers to be connected over dial-up lines. According to Marsden, this will be "a remote data-vault-type product" for companies wanting to store sensitive information at a remote location. Pricing information for the products will be available at the time of their launch.

Donekle u vezi sa pričom u os_wars, evo do kakvih sve problema može da dođe ako se želi interoperabilnost Unix-a i NT-a, sinhronizacija šifri i sl. radnje... Utility to manage NT/Unix files leaves NT passwords vulnerable In the process of solving the problem of managing password files for both Windows NT and Unix, a programmer may have left networks running NT wide open to attack. Using a utility the programmer developed and that is freely available on the Internet, administrators can access for the first time the Security Accounts Manager file of NT, which houses system passwords. "This utility program meets a need, solving the problem of password synchronization between Unix and NT," said Jeremy Allison, programmer at Cygnus Solutions, in Sunnyvale, Calif., who authored the utility. "But it puts in plain sight what Microsoft should have documented a long time ago: the hashed passwords." Although the utility itself doesn't compromise the security of the NT environment, it does contain code that can be used to gain access to the system's password file and can be used to create a program to impersonate a user on a network or to capture passwords that have been encrypted. Microsoft has greatly downplayed the potential breaches in security, saying that passwords will only be vulnerable to systems administrators, and that alternating lowercase and uppercase letters with numbers in a password is sufficient protection. Some analysts also questioned the severity of the security risk, although acknowledging its potential for damage. "Someone had to screw up setting up the accounts in order for there to be any exposure to this utility," said Tom Harris, research director at International Data Corp., in Framingham, Mass. "If you rely on the defaults, though, you're taking your chances." One hacker, who goes by the pseudonym Maglite, said that extraction programs are nimble enough to sort out variations in case and numbers, and that his fellows in Boston, Seattle, and Australia have actually created hacking tools that can do point-and-click password extraction. Those programs are expected to hit the streets by this weekend. Once a CIFS plain-text password is known, a dictionary test will reveal the English password, effectively decrypting the password, which can then be used to attack a system. The password of a privileged account, such as that of a systems administrator, can give an unauthorized user comprehensive control of a network, including the ability to add new users to a network. Those passwords are best captured using a Trojan Horse, a very sophisticated program that captures a plain-English password as it is typed in. Maglite offers one way to avoid such programs. "Never log in as "Administrator," because that's when you're vulnerable to a Trojan Horse," Maglite said. Maglite has in hand a Trojan Horse program, the most sophisticated way to learn passwords, that uses the utility's code and can make NT networks vulnerable. He said he will not release it to the public. "That would be irresponsible," Maglite said.

Iako za proizvodnju opreme za povezivanje i umrezavanje racunara kazu da je jedna od najperspektivnijih unutar racunarske industrije, vrednost deo- ica vodecih svetskih firmi iz ove oblasti je u drasticnom padu. Zasto? Niko nije bas sasvim siguran, ali zato barem svako ima neku svoju teoriju... Networking stocks have taken a nosedive. Over the past six months, a slew of high-flying firms such as 3Com, Cascade, Fore, Shiva and others have lost over 50% of their valuation. Price/Earnings ratios have dipped below those of Exxon, Home Depot, Coca-Cola and the S&P index. What's causing this sell-off of internetworking stocks? Is there a new Wall Street psychology? Are we feeling the rejection of momentum buyers? Or have the fundamentals of this business shifted? This "Strategic Networks On . . ." examines the fickle world of hi-tech stocks, markets and investors. While we can't predict the future, we can make some sense out of the current churn. The Big Tumble Once Wall Street sweethearts, networking stocks have slumped to pathetic levels over the past few quarters. Leading the headlines was frame relay pioneer, Cascade: loosing three- quarters of its value in a 5-month timeframe sliding from a high of $91 per share to a low of $23. Then 3Com plummeted from $81 to $24 (an almost equally precipitous loss in value). In addition to these two, leaders in most every networking sector have been hit: NETWORKING STOCK VALUES 52-Wk High 52-Wk Low Hi-Lo % Change 5/1/97 Close Shiva (remote access) $87 $8 -91% $10 Madge (token-ring) $34 $5 -85% $6 Xylan (LAN switches) $76 $12 -84% $17 Fore Systems (ATM) $45 $10 -78% $14 Netscape (inter/intranet) $75 $24 -68% $26 Bay Networks (routers) $37 $15 -60% $19 Network General (network management) $30 $13 -57% $15 Ascend (remote access) $80 $36 -55% $47 Meanwhile, hub/switch player Cabletron has gone relatively untouched with a $44 high, $27 low and $35 close on 5/1/97. And Cisco, the internetworking king and industry bellwether, has not been as badly pummeled either with a high of $76, low of $45 and a May 1st close at $53. But it announces earnings on May 6th and if it doesn't beat the street's "numbers" of $1.7 billion in revenue and 52 cents in earnings for the quarter, Cisco could set off another mudslide. What is happening? Is this industry imploding? For insight into the dynamics around the recent downturn of internetworking stocks, I talked to a variety of industry watchers/players including: Eric Benhamou, CEO of 3Com; Desh Deshpande, co-founder, EVP Business Development and chairman of the board of Cascade, and; Cisco's VP of business development, Charlie Giancarlo; Greg McCall, Senior Vice President of Cramer Berkowitz; and Joe Noel, Technology Analyst, of Hambrecht & Quist. Prevailing Downturn Wisdom There are four theories floating around that attempt to rationalize the price deflation of internetworking stocks -- beyond the obvious explanation that they were hypervalued and a few major firms missed planned revenues and earnings: 1) Competitive price/margin pressure 2) Soft market drivers (world economy, PC sales) 3) Purchasing lull 4) Investor meddling Theory #1: Competitive Price/Margin Pressure Proponents of this rationale say competition yields price cuts which erodes margins -- which gives financial analysts the jitters. For example, fierce LAN switch dogfights have depressed prices faster than is usual with a new technology. In Q1 1997, the price of a 10 Mbs switch port dropped to under $100 -- less than half of its 1996 price tag. A shared 10 Mbs port now costs $20, down from $500 in 1990. Intel (a nobody in networking a year ago) entered the market for network interface cards (NICs) forcing NIC-king 3Com to slash prices. But what about the rampant consolidation of the industry? Though traditional thinking says this trend should provide price cushions, Theory #1 argues that competition among top players has heightened. The big driver bringing down stock prices is a fundamental change in competitive dynamics for NICs, hubs, switches and remote access equipment. There is a dislocation occurring in the industry upsetting the status quo of 3Com, Cisco, Bay and Cabletron. Competition is intense as these top vendors grab shares of each others' pies, vie for acquisitions of second-tier players, react to scrappy start-ups and fend off big-name interlopers like Intel and Hitachi. Theory #2: Soft Market Drivers While internetworking market drivers -- PC, NIC, modem and semiconductor shipments -- are projected to grow, the growth *rate* is slowing. IDC forecasts growth in new PC shipments will run at 12.3% CAGR from 1996 to 2000. And NICs will increase by only 12.1% CAGR between 1995 and 2000. Sales of semiconductors for LAN equipment will reach $1.7 billion by the end of the century (up from $1.2 billion at year-end 1995). And worldwide modem shipments are expected to go from 30 million in 1996 to 53 million 1998. Though these numbers are healthy, Theory #2 proponents posit that slowing growth rates will negatively impact internetworking equipment sales -- adding fuel to the networking stock bonfire of late. At a more global level, world macroeconomic fluctuations now impact the internetworking sector since top-tier vendors do business around the world. These multi-billion dollar concerns create a significant US export business. But with a strong dollar in Europe and Japan, coupled with their sluggish economies, networking sales have slowed in these geographies. Theory #3: Purchasing Lull Those in the purchase slowdown camp submit that Fortune 1000 firms are buying less networking gear. They say users are digesting the NICs, hubs, switches and routers they bought during their 1995/96 spending sprees. And they point to the stacks of unopened boxes in IT data centers cum network operations control rooms as proof. On top of purchase indigestion, #3 theorists say that the dizzying velocity of new technologies has paralyzed buyers. Take the quandary of inter/intranet versus remote access -- plus competing solutions like the two 56 Kbs analog options, multiple xDSLs, ISDN, DSS, etc. Or in switching, there's NetFlow, Fast IP, gigabit routers, packet-by-packet layer 3 switching, VLANs and so on. For LANs, what about gigabit Ethernet and where does ATM fit in? All of this confusion makes for befuddled buyers sitting on the sidelines until things shake out. Adding to already sluggish sales, the telcos -- RBOCs, interexchange carriers and PTTs -- have gone into "Big Plan" mode. The Telecom Act of '96 prompted RBOCs to rethink strategies about where to invest and how to enter the internet access, long distance and PCS markets. And ISPs have taken a breather from their frenzied network build-outs to contemplate how they can make money. Sales to carriers are typically lumpy with huge purchases made in clumps at different times. But Theory #3 predicts a slowdown in carrier sales across the board that won't pick up until service providers figure out their next moves. Theory #4: Investor Meddling Big investors can play a heavy hand in driving markets up or down. According to Theory #4, the infamous "Momentum Buyers" started selling off large blocks of networking stocks as soon as indicators turned south. Momentum begets momentum -- and what's nerve-racking is some don't see a floor. As reasons to bail, they point to all of the above theories plus a few extras. For example, recent acquisitions have raised investors' stress levels. Cisco bought Stratacom for $4 billion only a few months before Cascade revealed softening frame relay sales -- prompting momentum players to speculate that Cisco spent twice what it should have on a less than promising market. A term is now being applied to networking bids called "acquisition risk." This tries to quantify the difficulty of culture blending, product rationalization, channel overlaps, etc. Plus, big mutual fund managers are shifting investments away from small cap firms. These hefty funds have gotten so unwieldy that their managers are no longer inclined to deal with a large portfolio of small cap stocks. So some large fund managers now avoid firms with less than a $1 billion valuation. This thinking has created an absence of stock buyers for smaller networking companies. Strategic Networks' Take: Plenty of Play Left So what do I make of all of this? Okay, some of the big networking players missed their numbers and the market panicked. And now lots of non-issues are being put forth such as, "Is there bandwidth saturation in enterprise networks?" To a large degree, the fact that many who have invested in these stocks don't really understand the market can account for the fire sale. This is the only way to explain why Cisco currently has a P/E ratio lower than Lucent! Lots of Market to Saturate and Upgrade I don't buy the argument that buyers have taken a breather. I certainly have not seen this within Strategic Networks' own client base where Fortune 1000 companies are experiencing a ten-fold increase in network traffic (largely due to inter/intranet packets). Enterprise network executives are readying: 1) hybrid private/public networks for remote and inter/intranet access; 2) a huge transition from layer 2 to layer 3 switching; plus 3) upgrades to the next order of magnitude of LAN bandwidth with gigabit Ethernet. In my book, this translates into another healthy spending spree over the next couple of years. So what if the private remote access purveyors (e.g. Shiva) missed the wave and those banking on ATM everywhere (like Fore) are leapfrogged by the gigabit Ethernet gang. Welcome to life in the hi-tech fast lane. Let's look at the numbers from another vantage point: IDC's projected 12% growth in new PC shipments from 1996 to 2000 translates into adding a net 23 million PCs on top of the existing 43 million PCs in the US market alone -- with over 117 million forecast to ship worldwide in 2000. Only 10% of installed PCs are connected to a switch port. And the worldwide modem market is projected to mushroom from 30 million shipped in 1996 to 53 million in 1998. Today, an estimated 11% of the US population is connected to the internet (and many of those are in dire need of PC communications upgrades). As your next door neighbors and the local library, pizza parlor and town hall get wired, they will help fund a $30 billion access market over the next several years. Yes, there will be fall-out among the hundreds of ISPs (and maybe even an RBOC or two). But we expect continued rounds of mammoth purchases by network service providers to keep up with users' bandwidth cravings as well as upcoming technology shifts. For example, voice-over-IP will totally transform the US voice network and the $240 billion it represents. When voice messaging drops from 20 cents a minute to 2 cents, expect large shifts in the network service provider market and a boom for internetworking firms. And with the rollout of PCS technology comes a need for backbone networks made up of frame and cell switches plus routers. The Majors, Little Leaguers . . . and the Farm Teams Instead of a slowdown, I expect continued healthy demand for networking gear from enterprise buyers, network service providers, small office/home office (SOHO) segments and consumers. The question is, which vendors will get the purchase orders? I think the internetworking market has begun to split into Grade A players and everyone else. The "A List": Cisco for enterprise plays, 3Com for SOHO and consumers and Cascade/Ascend for carriers and ISPs. These three (or so) companies will find themselves under microscopic scrutiny by investors looking deep into their financials *and* product strategies/plans. They will have to hit their numbers without a hiccup, so I anticipate some low-ball forecasts in the coming year. But to improve stock prices, they must exceed analyst estimates and paint a rosy future. For example, Cisco's Chambers may be able to create a mini rally for Grade A networking stocks if, in his May 6th earnings announcement, the company beats financial analysts' expectations and he succeeds in glossing over future issues such as its lack of a gigabit router, the shift in sales towards a more hotly contested switched LAN market and increased competition for ISP and carrier purchase orders. As Grade A stocks rebound -- as I expect they will over the next 6 to 9 months -- the gap between the A List and everyone else will widen. While I do not believe the internetworking industry will collapse around three players, it will look significantly different: 1) The Majors: Grade A players who attract big investors and solid workers who want security. This handful of multi- billion dollar global firms will grow by acquisition and live on customer loyalty and manufacturing and distribution prowess. Look for firms like Intel and Hitachi to try to buy their way into this club. 2) The Little Leaguers: Start-ups with fresh ideas germinating new technologies . . . whose high-flying venture capitalists and risk-taking visionaries give their all in hopes of getting rich when they're bought out by a Grade A firm. Examples: a slew of new gigabit start-ups (Alteon, Extreme Networks, Rapid City, etc.) who will be at Interop pushing 5 to 10 Mpps layer 3 forwarding switches well ahead of the big guys. 3) . . . and the Farm Teams: Also-rans in the middle who will find it increasingly hard to find employees, customers and investors. These ho-hum vendors will not have the stock valuation to buy firms -- cutting them off from the growth- by-acquisition path. They will find it hard to keep their workforce since under-water stock options do not gain employee loyalty. They will also feel the most heat from brawny Grade A wannabes, like Intel. While a rare few of these may make it into the majors or carve out a lucrative sideline niche, most will die a painful death as they attempt to remake themselves. This is a picture of a 10 to 15 year-old adolescent industry heading into adulthood. Over the next couple of years, the key for investors will be picking the right start-ups and riding their good fortunes as they are scooped up by Grade A players -- and avoiding those destined to become dogs. In the short-run, I think there's still some time for bargain basement shopping for networking stocks . . . but choose wisely because sale items are not returnable.

Da li je ikako moguće da štampač prikačen na win95 stanicu koja je preko Novelovog 32-bitnog klijenta prikačena na NetWare 4.1 server proglasiti za mrežni? Znači ne file/printer sharing (koji uzgred rečeno i ne radi sa ovim klijentom), nego remote printer i odgovarajući print queue - ono što pod DOS-om radi NPRINTER, a sa Microsoft klijentom PRTAGENT. Beše o ovome diskusija na PRO-u pre jedno godinu dana, ali bez rezultata.

Izlazi NRS - Novell Replication Services, alat pomoću koga se Novell-ovi serveri mogu automatski replicirati. Novell to bring replication to IntranetWare and NetWare servers Novell on Monday is expected to release Novell Replication Services (NRS), a technology that allows data on IntranetWare and NetWare servers to be automatically replicated across a network. The release will coincide with the announcement of a name for the company's Border Services technology at an event at the Guggenheim Museum, in New York. Border Services is Novell's "extranet" technology for extending IntranetWare-based networks across a WAN. NRS is designed to make it much easier to disseminate information across a WAN. According to the company, the technology can be used to selectively replicate all types of files, including images, audio, and video, from one server to any number of other servers. However, the technology does have certain limitations. Users select the data to be replicated using Novell Directory Services (NDS), and replication only can take place within a single designated NDS tree; it cannot be performed across multiple trees. Novell has implemented the technology as a NetWare Loadable Module designed to run on NetWare 4.1x and IntranetWare servers. Windows 3.1, Windows 95, OS/2, and DOS clients can access replicated files. "NRS is a great file-replication service that would be useful in any NOS [network OS]," said Louis Heibert, senior product analyst at Progressive Strategies, in New York. However, Heibert cautioned that although NRS is suitable for file distribution, it will not be able to compete with Lotus Notes or any type of clustering system. "The technology of NRS is relatively simple in that it can't perform any back replicating," Heibert said. Novell has timed the announcement to try to steal some of the thunder from Microsoft's Scalability Day, which takes place the following day. New Novell CEO Eric Schmidt will use the opportunity to try to convince attendees that Novell is a company with a future, building on the ideas outlined in his NetWorld+Interop keynote speech earlier this month. Dan Kusnetzky, an analyst at International Data Corp., in Framingham, Mass., commented on the importance of Schmidt's speech. "Novell has the technology in place," Kusnetzky said. "What it needs is a visionary who can stand up and articulate how Novell can make corporations better." "Novell is using Eric Schmidt to deliver a clear message," Kusnetzky added. "What I will be looking for on Monday is more about presentation than content of the vision."

Pitanje za iskusnije Novellovce. Kako da povežem dva NW4.11 servera preko modema u jedinstvenu NDS mrežu. Sta je potrebno od hardvera i softwera. Da li je sav potreban softver već sadržan u osnovnom OS-u. Drugo, kada sam ih vec povezao, kako da se podaci-datoteke sa jednog automatski prenose na drugi tako da oba imaju iste podatke. Da li je to moguće ostvariti pomoću dodeljivanja osobina NDS objektima i pomoću startovanja nekih sistemskih programa? Pozdrav Dragan.

Molim za pomoc. Hteo bih da povezem dva PC-a. Jedan je 486 a drugi 286. Vec sam nabavio mrezne kartice no pre nego stokrenem u povezivanje interesuje me dali je moguce sa jednog PC-a pogrenuti program na drugom PC-u a rezultate rada tog programa videti na monitoru prvog PC sa koga je i pokrenut program. Naime ideja je da neke poslove kao sto su komunikacija prepustim slabijem PC-u a da na jacem PC-u radim zahtevnije stvari. Informacija koja mi treba dali je to moguce sto sam ja zamislio i sta mi treba od softvera i koji je hardverski minimum za tako nesto. Svaka pomoc je dobro dosla buduci da sa povezivanjem PC-a nemam nikakvog iskustva. Kosta.

Hm..khm.. ja sam nov u mrezama, tachnije, neznam nista o njima. (da skinem to sa srca) Moj ortak i ja smo bili pozvani od jednog drugog (treceg) da mu instaliramo mrezu na tri racunara. Kupili smo mrezne kartice (mogu da pogledam ime, ako je bitno, ali ja ih znam kao takve), konektore, koax. kabl, terminatore. Sve smo zaboli instalirali softver delimicno. Radi se o jednom pentiumu II MMX na 233 Mhz sa 64mb RAMa sa sveze instaliranim NT 4 preko win 95 (nasih ruku delo), zatim jednoj 'obicnom' pentiumu na valjda 133/16 sa win 95 i jednom slicnom, mislim da ima 32 MB rama sa win 98 beta. Instalacija drivera je uspela samo na onom sa 95icom dok ostali pokazuju uzvichnik :). Nemamo pojma shta dalje da uradimo chak i kad (ako) na podje za rukom da poteramo drajvere. Da li to radi samo od sebe u Exploreru pod network neighbourhoud ili treba jos nesto da se cheprka? P.S. nemojte da mislite da smo mi neki burzhuji ili sl. samo je taj treci. Ja sam ponosni vlasnik 386/8/mono a ortak 486/16. samo smo hteli da okusamo srecu. Naravno burzhujche je platio kartice i ostalo.

Nemamo pojma shta dalje da uradimo chak i > kad (ako) na podje za rukom da poteramo drajvere. Da li to radi > samo od sebe u Exploreru pod network neighbourhoud ili treba jos > nesto da se cheprka? HARDVERSKI: mrezna karta koristi IRQ i Base Adress. Naravno, jos jedan BITAN podatak je tip povezivanja koji je verovatno po defaultu BNC ili karta automatski to nalazi. Ipak, proveri ovo dijagnostickim programom koji si dobio uz karte. Takodje, vidi koji IRQ i Adress zauzimaju (default je obicno IRQ5/base300h). Vidi da li se kolje sa necim na IRQ5. Probaj tada da promenis na neki drugi, rebutujes, izmenis u Windowsu, opet rebutujes... SOFTVERSKI:instalacija ide kao i za sve ostale uredjaje... Na NT4.0 je malo teze, ali snaci ces se... bitno je da dodas adapter i u Bindings definises koje protokole koristi. Ako te bude gnjavio sa TCP/IP, ubaci neku adresu. WINS i DHCP iskljuci. E sad, kako to proveriti da li radi... Najjednostavnije i najbrze je da ides na toj Win95 gde je proradilo na Start/Find/Computer, pa ukucas ime onog racunara koji proveravas. Ako ga nadje, 99% je Ok. Inace, trebalo bi i da u Network Neigborhood vidis 3 stanice, ali tek posle nekoliko minuta dok se pronadju... Dakle, ako odmah ne vidis nista u neigborhood, NE MORA da je greska. Inace, ime racunara je bitno i treba ga davati sa logikom, jer svi mrezni path-ovi ga koriste.

Interesuje me misljenje nekog ko je imao iskustva sa instalacijom Novell-a 4.11. Naime u pratecoj dokumentaciji sa instalacionog CD-a (onog iz PC press-a) kao minimalni hardverski zahtevi navode se disk od 1GB i 20MB RAM memorije. Velicina diska, pretpostavljam, pretstavlja neku optimalnu vrednost obzirom na danasnje aplikacije, i verovatno nema nikakve veze sa potrebama samog Novell-a, kome prema uputstvu treba nekih 20MB prostora na NetWare particiji. Ono sto me interesuje je STVARNO minimalna kolicina RAM memorije. Posto je kod prethodniih verzija Novell-a velicina RAM-a zavisila od velicine volumena i velicine blokova na disku, da li je i ovde isti slucaj. Odnosno da li 20MB RAM-a pretstavlja minimum za disk od 1GB, pa je shodno tome za manji disk dovoljno i manje memorije.Tacnije, interesuje me da li je 486dx2 sa 8MB RAM-A i diskom od 540MB donvoljno za instalaciju?

Posle dužeg vremena Novell je poslednji kvartal završio sa pozitivnim rezultatima, a izašla je i prva beta verzija NetWare-a 5.0 (code-name Moab). Glavne novosti su native TCP/IP i integrisana Java virtualna mašina. Novell bets the farm on NDS and Java strategy Novell has released a beta version of NetWare 5.0, known as Moab, but the company's future is as the premier supplier of Java networks and directory-enabled services, said CEO Eric Schmidt at Comdex in Las Vegas this week. "By adding the ability to run Java applications, we can become a significant midtier server player," Schmidt said. "[Java is] the language of electronic commerce, and it will replace C and C++." During the next year, Novell will drive TCP/IP through its line of offerings and port key products -- including BorderManager -- to Windows NT Server and Unix platforms. This beta version of NetWare 5.0, which is many months behind schedule, will be followed next month by a fuller second beta, Schmidt said. A third beta version is due in early 1998, signaling a new policy for Novell of sequentially delivering products rather than shipping them in infrequent bursts. The final product is expected in mid-1998. "This first Moab beta doesn't yet have all the features and services that will appear in the final product," said Michael Simpson, marketing director at Novell. "This beta is primarily for testing the native IP stuff." NetWare 5.0's initial iteration includes a Java Virtual Machine and Java Software Developer's Kit so developers can use Novell as a construction platform. Schmidt promised Comdex attendees that Java will run better on Novell than any other vendor's server. He said Novell will seek to create a universal container in its servers that, via Java and Internet Inter-ORB Protocol, coordinates the functions of disparate servers on one end and disparate clients on the other. "The Java strategy is a good one for Novell, particularly since their prime competitor, Microsoft, obviously has a difficult time proving itself as a Java enthusiast," said Mike Hurwicz, an analyst at Patricia Seybold Group, in Boston. "However, they will pale when compared to Java on Netscape or Sun." Novell is also steering servers to multiple platforms. "The same capabilities in NDS [Novell Directory Services] for NT [due to ship in a couple of weeks] will be brought to NDS for Unix," Simpson said. "We want seamless user account management." "It will be NDS against Microsoft directory service. Novell shouldn't be counted out," said Jim Abel, an analyst at Resume Software, in Austin, Texas.
