Some partial answers..
1) I have heard that you can run more than one web server. There was an
efix to allow Netview to run from
a port other than 80, which worked, so the fix in 5.1.1 should work.

2) I saw one last week that was still kind of squished after 5.1.1, but
someone on this list suggested adding
a background gif and bang! it straightened right out. Wierder still, after
I removed the background gif it
stayed nice. I also noticed that when the web browser was Netscape on AIX,
how good it looked had
some dependancy on the amount of resources available. We could not figure
out how to modify the
resources (like disk cache and memory) for the Internet Explorer so I don't
know. I do know that for
Netscape on Intel we recommend some big numbers, like 30MB and 50MB (I
can't seem to find where
that is documented, so I'm not sure which is which).

Cordially,

Hi all,

I am running Netview 5.1 over Framework 3.6  on AIX  4.3.2. I have couple
issues/problems with the Web server.

1. I run other things on my Netview machine, and require web access for
those. THe thing is, I don't want users to have to type in a username and
password to access my non-Netview web pages, but I do want Netview security
turned on. Is there a way to do this? I've heard of having Netview running
over a different port in Netview 5.1.1? Would this solve my problem? (I
don't currently have Netview 5.1.1). Or is this an AIX issue, where I'd
have to install 2 web servers on one machine? (not sure if that's even
possible)...

2. As I've mentioned earlier in this discussion, my IP root map does not
take up the full available screen and is shrunk and pushed to the top left
corner.. Anyone else have similar problems?

THanks for your time!
