RE: Advanced Revelation on Netapp

Hi,

Thanks to all friends who responded to my question. I think I could not explain my problem exactly. The application which is called "advanced revelation" is working on winnt 4.0 server and uses its resources-that is a service running on the server. what I have tried is that I mapped the filer volume to the server as F drive and copied all files regarding the application, then tried to run it. It gave a message that it could not find the data files even thet was there on the F drive. This is my problem.

Thanks

Zek

if you are running from a dos machine you should be able to use the dos smb drivers from microsoft - the ones that came from lanmanager. if you are using any windows based machine the drivers should be there.

Zekeriya,

I would definately be interested in hearing if you get this to work. My company has a few DOS based lab workstations that I would like to connect to our Filers. The problem is that there is no utility/driver to provide the SMB protocol to DOS. You can get the IPX protocol for DOS but the Filers do not support IPX. We have not tried to build a NetWare server to act as a gateway though. In theory the DOS system could connect to the NetWare server using IPX. The NetWare server would have the NFS.nlm running to connect it to a Filer. I do something similar for our

Macintosh

users. I have a Linux box that uses NFS to connect to the Filers and then it runs the AppleShare protocol as a gateway for the Macs. I do not know if IPX restricts sharing a share like SMB and NFS do (e.g., an SMB/NFS client - server or workstation - can not then make that share available to clients of its own)

Hi All,

I tried to run on my Netapp F820 an old DOS based 16 bit application

called

"advanced revelation" uses a flat file database. Unfortunately I am not successful. The application does not recognize the mapped network drive.

Is

there any way/trick to make it working on the filer? Has anybody tried such applications on Netapp Filers or remote drives?

Thanks in advance
