512.0. "Problems while installing Networker Client for Novell" by VAXRIO::63222::Manoel () Thu Mar 20 1997 15:40

	Hi, folks.

	I just finished intalling Networker 4.2b in a D.U. system V4.0a 
(Alpha 2100).
	The software is operational and I can do backups of local file
systems, but now I have to install the Networker client for Novell 
and then comes the "twilight" zone.
	I know nothing about Novell so I pointed the path where the files 
reside in D.U. machine, and the gay copied to the Novell machine via nfs.
	After that he copied again from this machine to another via ipx,
and finally in this target machine he made the installation.
	I'll try to write down the sequence of the events in the target 
machine.
	>load sys:\system\nsr\disk1\install

	.....Networker Installation Utility Rel 4.1.....

	.....some SMS stuff messages.....

	.....option CLIENT ONLY choosed ....

	.....volume SYS choosed ....
	
	.....lots of messages about files beeing read....

	.....a message to put your server down and restart it....

	>networkr

	.... INITIALIZING....

	....error message: PROGRAM NOT REGISTERED....

	....error message: UNABLE TO CONNECT TO SERVER XYZ....

	The owfull thing is that server XYZ is the name of this target 
machine, when I thought it should be the name of the D.U. machine, but
it never asked about the server name.
	Thanks in advance for any help or may be just a pointer.
	Regards.
