(ASCEND) Win95, Novell & Pipelines
I am configuring a Pipeline 85 (v5.1Ap9, load b2a.p75) to hook to
an Ascend Max. I've set it up for bridging IP, IPX and Appletalk
using DHCP. Everything works fine using a Windows NT PC. I can
bring up the ISDN line (IP Arp request) and access everything
including Microsoft and Novell servers. The problem that I am
having is that when using a Win95 PC and it boots up, the
Pipeline's ISDN line is not up therefore there is no "true"
connection to the network yet. Apparently, Win95 doesn't load
any of the Novell drivers when there is not a network connection.
Then, when the user activates the ISDN line (IP ARP request
brings up the line) IP works fine, but they cannot get to any
Novell servers. It appears that IPX isn't even loaded (only
Microsoft stuff shows up in Network Neighborhood). While the
ISDN line is up, if the user then reboots their Win95 PC they can
then login to both Microsoft and Novell servers through the
Pipeline.
Is this a known issue using the Pipelines with Windows 95 PC's.
Is there a way to have the Pipeline "trick" the 95 PC into
thinking there is a connected Novell network even when the line
is down?
Thanks for your help!
