Back/Front End and Novell-5.1

[Frank Dulk]

We have several systems that work in net here (Back/Front End) and the bases
of data are allocated in the net (Novell-5.1).
Everything always worked appropriately, until that 5 new machines entered in
that net. Those machines are destroying the bases that access, they corrupt
tables and whenever they access the systems, I have to run over the backups.
some of the bases that I got to recover, noticed that data of other tables
were inserted there (type, the customer's name to be the name of the
equipments and for oh it goes).
We are distrusted, since all the updatings beat (you conspire with XP
professional, Access 2000 SR1, jet 4.0), that the problem can be related to
the customer of the novell installed in those new ones you conspire (in you
plan them ok the version it is 4.83, in the problems the version is to
4.90.2), that is the test that I am doing. The great problem is that those
machines assist her/it here an engineering section of the company and all
the machines were forbidden of accessing the bases, since it ends up
stopping the company he finds out. Some clue:?

If vc has some idea of what it can be happening, or some place that I can
look for that information, I am once again, eternally thankful! (once again
...rs) I Already looked for that information in the fórums(inclusive in the
forum access), microsoft, but at first, no answer got.

One possibility may be that the new PCs all use a smiliar (and faulty)
Network Interface Card (NIC). Another possiblity may be that all the new
PCs share a switch or router on the network, and there are issues/problems
with the shared network device and/or cabling.

If the new PCs (and their network connections) are temporarily removed from
your larger network, do the problems go away?

The problem may be in only one of those machines. Create a new table. When the FE
MDB opens up write a record to that table with the userid, machine name and date/time
entered and store the autonumer ID in a hidden form. When the FE closes down write
the date/time exited in that same record.

Those records which don't have the date/time exited in them will be the machines to
closely watch.

yes... it is to remove them you only conspire of the net that the bds stops
corrupting...
the test that I am doing now is to place the same version of the client of
Novell that my machine, as well as the net configurations... that conspires
it is in test and it didn't still corrupt the bds...
I will verify the items that you described... if they have more clues,
please order me
