We have a network of IBM PS/2 Model 70s and a Model 80 as a server
running Novell software 286 V2.15 C.  It is running on a token-ring
at 4 Mbps.  I'm a beginner at this Novell stuff but one of my tasks
is to get it running at 16 Mbps.  I tried using the Reference disks
and setting all the machines to 16 Mbps but the software was flakey
after that.  There were noticeable delays after commands are issued.
Sometimes, I'd get an network error: Error sending on network.
Abort, Retry?  Sometimes the retry works, sometimes it doesn't.
I figured I must be doing something wrong so I reset everything back
to 4 Mbps and decided to ask you all about it.  What do I need to do
to get this token-ring running at 16 Mbps with Novell?  I've been
looking through the manuals but I haven't found any mention of this.
Suggestions??  This is probably an easy question but we've all got to
start somewhere.  Thanks much.


Yan.
