2046.0. " Probelms with HubWatch and the HighNote" by JULIET::WENGER_GE () Fri Feb 24 1995 03:00

    Has anyone tried to run hubwatch 3.1 on a HighNote?  The highnote is
    running windows 3.11 and has 20 mg of mem.  The problem I am having
    is with conventional memory.  I have ran memmaker and removed
    all of the softcard drivers which are not needed for the ethernet 
    nic.  Also I noticed that the power saver mode shuts down the pcmcia
    slot,  once this happens the only way to get the dirvers to load again
    is to reboot.  Again I changed the HighNote setup and changed the
    pwer sver mode to off.  After this, I was able to use the highnote 
    last evening with a 90TS no problem.  H
    
    Today at the customer site everytime I tried to connect to the Hub900
    I got this message "not enough conventional memory".  I checked
    the available conventional memory and there was 472kb available.
    I did not try to remove modules from the hub, however this may have helped.
    The network was up and I was able to ping the hub.  I have ran hubwatch 
    on a 486 slc for several months with no problems.
    
    I was able to use an old 386 with 8mg for a few hours at a time
    as a work around.  The available conventional memory in the the
    386 however was less than 352kb.  Any ideas?  
    
    What is so odd here is that I had installed the NetRider server
    software last week and this worked well.  Are there differences
    in the ipstack for NetRider and HubWatch?
    
    By the way the 486slc notebook has 20 mg of mem and is running windows
    3.1.  As I stated above this configuration works fine.

    Hi, Georgia.  Don't know if this will help or not, but I had a problem
    with my 425sl last week..  I had done some mods to my config.sys and
    autoexec.bat files to get another product to run.  Then later on I
    tried to run IRIS - which always ran before - and IRIS claimed there
    wasn't enough conventional memory!  I did a mem/c and there seemed to
    me to be enough - but I undid the config.sys and autoexec changes
    anyway and IRIS began working.  I tracked the problem to the files and
    buffers settings in config.sys.  When I put those back to previous
    values, IRIS worked.

    Richard,
    
    	Thank you,  I increased the biffers to 30 and hubwatch is running
    great.
