Question : Netware 4.11 keeps beeping! How to make it stop?

Netware cannot connect to another machineon the network that it is normally connected to. Every thirty seconds or so it prints to the screen a message stating that it lost its connection to the other machine, along with this message it makes a beeping noise.

Is there a way to disable this? If I have to I'll open the case and pull out the PC speaker but I'd rather not have to do that.

I know very little about Netware. This server is really only running so that a few people can share their calendars (Groupwsie) until we come up with a better shared calendar solution.

Here's a re-written version of your AUTOEXEC.NCF. I've cleaned up your file some, inserted some missing information, and added a lot of comments.
