Hi,

    A client of mine is using a 10MBps and a 100Mbps network mixed together
with cascaded hubs.  I am using a dial up analogue router and a novell
server.  The router is on TCP/IP and so far has nothing to do with the
Novell 4.11 server.  The problem I am facing is that the router doesn't work
after a few days.  I reset it and it works again for a few days or weeks
sometimes but then comes to a halt again.  I have all the users using Win95
clients.  What I understand from the supplier of the router that this router
will only work fine on a 10Mbps network which is quite true because I am
using the same router at my own place with 10 users and a 10Mbps network
(and a WinNT 4.0 server) and it didn't stop for a while.  Since the client
wouldn't change the 100Mbps hub and I've tried every possibility to find out
whether I can make it work in the current situation.  I am resorting to
using the Novell Server as the Gateway for IP.  I understand that I have to
install TCP/IP and go by it.  What I wanted to know is that is there a
software utility available for Novell that can convert it into a router and
Gateway, just like Winproxy for Windows NT?  If not then I'll just resort to
the installation of TCP/IP.  Would appreciate any help regarding this.

Thanks and best regards
