Installing NetWare Connectivity

You must install LAN Manager on a workstation before you can install NetWare Connectivity.

When you install NetWare Connectivity on the first workstation on your network, you must install it directly from the NetWare Connectivity distribution disk. Then you can install NetWare Connectivity on other workstations either directly from the distribution disk or over the network from a source directory on a server. If you are installing NetWare Connectivity on several workstations, installing over the network can save you time. You can copy the NDIS-compliant IPX.COM file you generate when you install the first workstation into the network directory you are using for installation. This way, you do not have to regenerate IPX.COM every time you install NetWare Connectivity on another workstation. For more information, see "Installing Over the Network," later in this chapter.

Another installation method is to use an altered version of the NetWare Connectivity distribution disk. This method is not as fast as over-the- network installation, but it does not require you to prepare a server.

The following sections explain all these installation methods. Read the next section, "Before Installing," before you use any of the methods.

Before Installing

Before you install NetWare Connectivity, you must make preparations if any of these situations applies to you:

The computer runs MS-DOS 5.0 and the NetWare Connectivity disks do not contain either the NET5.COM file or the NETX.COM file.
The computer runs MS-DOS 6.0.
The computer runs Microsoft Windows.
The computer runs Microsoft Windows over-the-net (where the Windows operating system is in a shared directory on a server).
The computer runs an international version of Microsoft Windows.

See the following subsections for these situations.

Installing With MS-DOS 5.0

During installation you will be prompted for some NetWare files from your NetWare distribution disks. If you have workstations running MS-DOS 5.0, you need either the NET5.COM file, the NETX.COM file, or the NETX.EXE file (see "Using NETX.COM and NETX.EXE," later in this chapter for an explanation of the files). However, these files may not be on the NetWare distribution disks. If this is the case, you can find NET5.COM and NETX.COM on the MS-DOS 5.0 Upgrade disks (or obtain any of the three files from Novell); copy the appropriate one to the root directory of the disk you use for installing NetWare Connectivity.

If you find that a workstation does not have the NET5.COM or NETX.COM file after you install NetWare Connectivity (because this file was not on the disk used for installation), simply copy the file to the workstation. Copy it to the LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG directory on workstations that have LAN Manager Enhanced, and to the LANMAN.DOS\BASIC directory on workstations that have LAN Manager Basic.

If you are using NETX.EXE, rather than NETX.COM or NET5.COM, you must rename this file to NETX.COM prior to installing NetWare Connectivity, and then rename it back to NETX.EXE after installing NetWare Connectivity.

For more information about MS-DOS 5.0 features that relate to NetWare Connectivity, see the section "Using NetWare Connectivity with MS-DOS 5.0 and 6.0," later in this chapter.

Installing With MS-DOS 6.0

During installation, you will be prompted for some NetWare files from your NetWare distribution disks. If you have workstations running MS-DOS 6.0, you need the NETX.COM file or the NETX.EXE file (see "Using NETX.COM and NETX.EXE," later in this chapter for an explanation of these files). However, these files may not be on the NetWare distribution disks. If this is the case, you can find NETX.COM or NETX.EXE on CompuServe (or obtain them from Novell); copy the appropriate file to the root directory of the disk you use for installing NetWare Connectivity.

If you find that a workstation does not have the NETX.COM or NETX.EXE file after you install NetWare Connectivity (because this file was not on the disk used for installation), simply copy the file to the workstation. Copy it to the LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG directory on workstations that have LAN Manager Enhanced, and to the LANMAN.DOS\BASIC directory on workstations that have LAN Manager Basic.

If you are using NETX.EXE rather than NETX.COM, you must rename this file to NETX.COM prior to installing NetWare Connectivity, and then rename it back to NETX.EXE after installing NetWare Connectivity.

For more information about MS-DOS 6.0 features that relate to NetWare connectivity, see the section "Using NetWare Connectivity with MS-DOS 5.0 and 6.0."

Installing With Microsoft Windows

The Microsoft Windows operating system uses a program called SHARE.EXE, which is specified in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. While SHARE.EXE is loaded, the NetWare Connectivity installation program cannot install some drivers.

To stop using SHARE.EXE

Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT, adding rem to the beginning of the line that contains the SHARE.EXE file.
Reboot the computer.
Install NetWare Connectivity.

Once NetWare Connectivity is installed, you may remove rem from the line for SHARE.EXE in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If you are using Demand Protocol Architecture (DPA), also move the line for SHARE.EXE so that it comes before any LAN Manager entries.

The NetWare Connectivity installation program will edit the Windows configuration (if installed) to support dual network connectivity for LAN Manager and NetWare with the Windows operating system.

Installing With Over-the-Net Microsoft Windows

Some special steps must be taken when installing NetWare Connectivity on computers on which Microsoft Windows has been installed for over-the-net use (where the Microsoft Windows files reside on a server). Apply the following steps to each workstation that runs the Windows operating system over-the-net and runs NetWare Connectivity.

To install NetWare Connectivity with over-the-net Microsoft Windows

Before installing NetWare Connectivity on the workstation, copy the file DUAL NET.DRV from the NetWare Connectivity install disk to the shared WINDOWS directory on the server.
You only have to do this once, regardless of how many workstations you install.
At the workstation, make sure the drive letter you are running the Windows op erating system from off the net is between D and P.
NetWare uses drive letters Q through Z, so if you are running the Windows operating system off a higher drive letter (W for example), it will not work properly after NetWare connectivity is installed. If you are running the Windows operating system off a drive between Q and Z, you will need to re-install the Windows operating system using a drive letter between D and P.
Run nwsetup as usual — but when it asks if you want to install Windows oper ating system support, choose Cancel.
Go into the Windows desktop and run the Windows Setup program.
- From the Options menu, choose Change System Settings.
- In the Network box on the Change System Settings dialog box, change the network from Windows NT Advanced Server or LAN Manager to the appro priate NetWare driver.
- Select the OK button.
- From the Options menu, select Exit.
- Exit the Windows operating system.
If you go back into the Windows operating system before completing the following steps, you may get several error messages as the Windows operating system will not be able to load the NetWare program.
In the local WINDOWS directory, modify the WIN.INI file by adding the nwpopup parameter to the load= line. The line will probably look like this:
load=winpopup nwpopup
In the local WINDOWS directory, modify the SYSTEM.INI file by changing the network.drv= line to:
network.drv=dualnet.drv
Add VDUALNET.386 and VLANMAN.386 to the network= line. Your net work= line may look like this:
network=*vnetbios, vipx.386, vNetWare.386, vdualnet.386, vlanman.386

Installing With an International Version of Microsoft Windows

In certain instances, NetWare Connectivity needs to start the Microsoft Windows setup file. In doing so, it assumes that the filename is SETUP.EXE. In some international releases of Microsoft Windows, however, the filename is different, as shown in the table below. If you are using one of these versions, copy or rename the file to SETUP.EXE before installing NetWare Connectivity. You can rename the file back to what it was, or delete the copy, after NetWare Connectivity is installed.

Language	Name of Microsoft Windows Setup File	Language	Name of Microsoft Windows Setup File
Danish	INSTALL.EXE	Portuguese	CONFIG.EXE
Finnish	ASETA.EXE	Spanish	INSTALAR.EXE
French	INSTALL.EXE	Swedish	INSTALL.EXE
Norwegian	INSTALL.EXE	Turkish	KUR.EXE

Installing NetWare Connectivity on a Token-Ring Network

If your network is token-ring and you want to implement source routing (which is recommended), you must edit the PROTOCOL.INI file before or after you install NetWare Connectivity on any workstation.

On the NetWare Connectivity disk, the NW directory contains a PROTOCOL.INI file with sections for the NDIS-compliant IPX protocol. The PROTOCOL.INI file is configured for Ethernet networks.

To enable source routing

Edit the PROTOCOL.INI file in the NETWARE directory to change the second line from
load = ipxmark [u],ipx[u]
to
load = ipxmark [u],ipx[u],rout[u]
If you set up a server for over-the-network installation, be sure the PROTOCOL.INI file in the NW subdirectory of the source directory has this change to enable source routing.
Copy the ROUTE.COM file to the disk you will use for installation, in the directory containing the NWSETUP.EXE program.
You can obtain the ROUTE.COM file from Novell.

Installing Directly From the Distribution Disk

Installing NetWare Connectivity is a two-step process:

Use the NetWare Connectivity Setup program to copy the NetWare Connectivity files to the workstation and generate a copy of the IPX protocol that is NDIS- compliant.
If the workstation has Microsoft Windows version 3.0 or later, the NetWare Connectivity Setup program starts the Windows Setup program, which copies the files necessary for Windows operating system support of both LAN Manager and NetWare to the workstation.
Use the LAN Manager Setup program to bind the NDIS-compliant IPX protocol to a network adapter driver.

These steps are explained in detail in the following sections.

Copying NetWare Connectivity Files to the Workstation

To install NetWare Connectivity, you start the NetWare Connectivity Setup program and copy files from the NetWare Connectivity distribution disk to the workstation's hard disk.

To copy the NetWare Connectivity files to the workstation

Be sure that LAN Manager is already installed on the workstation.
Start the NetWare Connectivity Setup program in one of these two ways:
- Insert the NetWare Connectivity distribution disk in drive A, then type the following from the command line:
  a:nwsetup
- Start the LAN Manager Setup program, and then choose Install from the Connectivity menu.
  You will be prompted to insert the NetWare Connectivity distribution disk and specify the disk drive containing the disk.
The NetWare Connectivity Installation dialog box appears.
To install NetWare Connectivity, choose the OK button.
NetWare Connectivity files are copied from the NetWare Connectivity distribution disk to the workstation's hard disk.
After the files are copied, a dialog box appears, prompting you to insert the Novell NetWare SHGEN-1 or WSGEN disk.
Remove the NetWare Connectivity disk from drive A, insert the SHGEN-1 or WSGEN disk in drive A, and choose the OK button.
The necessary NetWare files are copied to the workstation's hard disk, and the NDIS-compliant IPX.COM file is generated using object files from both the Novell NetWare and LAN Manager NetWare Connectivity disks.
Depending on the version of NetWare, the SHGEN-1 disk may not contain all the needed files. In this case, you will be prompted to remove that disk, insert the SHGEN-2 disk, and again choose the OK button.

Installing Microsoft Windows Support

After copying the NetWare Connectivity files to the workstation, the next step is to install network support for Microsoft Windows (if the workstation has Windows version 3.0 or later).

If the workstation does not have Microsoft Windows, skip to "Binding IPX to a Network Adapter," later in this chapter. If the workstation has a version of Microsoft Windows earlier than 3.0, a message box appears notifying you that Windows operating system support cannot be installed. If you see this message, choose the OK button, and skip to "Binding IPX to a Network Adapter," later in this chapter.

If the workstation has Microsoft Windows version 3.0 or later, the NetWare Connectivity Setup program copies Microsoft Windows support files to the workstation's hard disk and checks the workstation's hard disk for the Microsoft Windows network drivers.

If the Setup program finds the Microsoft Windows drivers for both NetWare and LAN Manager, an Installation Complete dialog box appears.
Choose the OK button. The NetWare Connectivity Setup program stops, but you still must use the LAN Manager Setup program to bind the IPX protocol to a network adapter driver. For instructions, see the following section of this manual, "Binding IPX to a Network Adapter."
If the Setup program does not find the Microsoft Windows drivers for both LAN Manager and NetWare, you must install the needed drivers. A NetWare Windows Driver Installation dialog box appears.

To install the Microsoft Windows network drivers

In the NetWare Windows Driver Installation dialog box, choose the OK button.
The Windows Setup program starts, and the Windows Setup main screen appears.
Press the UP ARROW key until the Network line is selected, and then press EN TER.
The second Windows Setup screen appears.
Select either Novell NetWare, LAN Manager Enhanced, or LAN Manager Basic (depending on which network drivers are needed). You may have to press the DOWN ARROW key a few times before the correct network appears in the list box. When you have selected the correct network, press ENTER.
You return to the Windows Setup main screen. The network you selected now appears in the Network line.
With the Accept the configuration shown above line selected, press ENTER.
You return to the NetWare Connectivity Setup program.
If Microsoft Windows drivers for both networks are needed, the Windows Support Installation dialog box appears again, and you must repeat steps 1 through 4 for the second network.
When all the drivers for both networks are installed, the Installation Complete dialog box appears.
Choose the OK button.
The NetWare Connectivity Setup program ends. You now must bind the IPX protocol to a network adapter driver. For instructions, see the following section.

Binding IPX to a Network Adapter

To bind the NDIS-compliant IPX protocol to a network adapter, you use the LAN Manager Setup program—not the NetWare Connectivity Setup program.

To bind IPX to a network adapter

If the LAN Manager Setup program is not already running, start it by changing directories to the LAN Manager directory (usually the C:\LANMAN.DOS direc tory) and typing:
setup
From the Configuration menu, choose Network Drivers.
The Workstation Configuration dialog box appears.
The Workstation Configuration dialog box appears, listing the workstation's network adapters and protocols:
Select the network adapter to which you want to bind the IPX protocol, and then choose the Modify Config button or the Add/Remove Protocols button.
The Network Protocols for network adapter card dialog box appears, listing each protocol installed on the workstation. The protocols bound to the network adapter you selected are indicated by marked check boxes.
Select the IPX/SPX NDIS Driver check box.
Choose the OK button.
The Workstation Configuration dialog box appears again, now showing IPX as one of the protocols bound to the network adapter selected.
Choose the OK button.
The Configuration Complete dialog box appears.
Choose the Save button.
The configuration is saved. You are now finished installing NetWare Connectivity.
From the LAN Manager menu, choose Exit Setup to exit the LAN Manager Set up program.

Installing Over the Network

To install NetWare Connectivity over the network, you must first prepare a server to be a source server for the installation. To do this, you first set up a shared directory that contains the NetWare Connectivity files. Then you install NetWare Connectivity on each workstation by connecting to the shared directory and starting the NetWare Connectivity Setup program.

Preparing the Server

To prepare the server, you copy files from the NetWare Connectivity disks to a directory on the server and then share the directory.

To make installing NetWare Connectivity over the network even faster, you can copy an NDIS-compliant version of IPX.COM to the source server. This way, IPX.COM will not have to be generated from object files each time you install NetWare Connectivity on a workstation.

If you will be installing NetWare Connectivity on workstations that have Microsoft Windows version 3.0 or later, you can also copy the Microsoft Windows drivers for NetWare to the shared directory. This way, you will not have to use the Windows Setup program when installing NetWare Connectivity on any workstations—the Windows drivers for NetWare will be copied from the shared directory.




	NOTE: If your network is token-ring, be sure the PROTOCOL.INI file on the source server has been altered for source routing. Also, copy the ROUTE.COM file to the server's source directory (the directory containing the NWSETUP.EXE program). For more information, see "Installing NetWare Connectivity on a Token-Ring Network," earlier in this chapter.

To prepare the source server

At the server, log on to the network with a user account that has administrative privilege on that server.
Create the directory that will serve as the source directory. For example, to create a C:\NWCONN directory on an OS/2 server, type:
mkdir c:\nwconn
Share the directory, using the net share command.
Be sure that permissions for the source directory are set so that everyone who needs access will have it.
Copy the contents of the NetWare Connectivity distribution disk to the server di rectory. The method you use depends on the operating system of the server:
- For a Windows NT computer or a LAN Manager OS/2 server, insert the Net Ware Connectivity distribution disk in drive A of the server, and type:
  xcopy a:\ source /s
  where source is the source directory you created. For example, the following command copies the files to the C:\NWCONN directory:
  xcopy a:\ c:\nwconn /s
- For a server that cannot read MS-DOS formatted disks directly, such as a LAN Manager for UNIX Systems server, insert the NetWare Connectivity distribution disk in drive A of an MS-DOS or OS/2 workstation on the net work.
  From the workstation, connect to the source directory you set up on the server and assign it a local drive letter. For example, if the source directory is on the SERVER1 server and has the sharename NWCONN, type:
  net use x: \\server1\nwconn
  Next, type:
  xcopy a:\ x: /s
If you have already installed NetWare Connectivity on a workstation directly from the distribution disk, copy the NDIS-compliant version of IPX.COM (gen erated during the previous installation of that workstation) to the source directory you are preparing (the directory containing the NWSETUP.EXE program). On the previously installed workstation, IPX.COM is in the LANMAN.DOS\NET PROG directory (if the workstation runs LAN Manager Enhanced), or in the LANMAN.DOS\BASIC directory (if the workstation runs LAN Manager Basic).
Each subsequent workstation will copy the NDIS-compliant IPX.COM instead of generating it.
You can also copy all versions of the NETx.COM, NETX.COM and NETX.EXE files that your network uses to the source directory you are preparing. This way, you will not have to use the NetWare distribution disks at all during installation. If you have a token-ring network that uses source routing, you should also copy ROUTE.COM to this directory.
If you will be installing NetWare Connectivity on workstations that have Microsoft Windows version 3.0 or later, copy the Microsoft Windows drivers for NetWare to the source directory. This way, when you install over the network you will not have to use the Windows Setup program.
Copy the NETWARE.DRV, VNETWARE.386, and VIPX.386 files from the Microsoft Windows distribution disks or from the WINDOWS directory of a workstation that has Windows operating system support for NetWare or NetWare Connectivity already installed. Copy these files to the source directory itself (the directory containing the NWSETUP.EXE program), not to the NW subdirectory of this directory.

The directory is now ready for use.

Installing Each Workstation

After you have prepared the source directory on a server, you can install NetWare Connectivity over the network.

To install NetWare Connectivity over the network

From the workstation, connect to the source directory you set up on the server and assign it a local drive letter.
For example, if the source directory is on the SERVER1 server and has the sharename NWCONN, type:
net use x: \\server1\nwconn
Start the NetWare Connectivity Setup program by typing:
x:nwsetup
The NetWare Connectivity Setup program starts.
Follow the instructions in "Copying NetWare Connectivity Files to the Worksta tion" (starting with step 3), "Installing Microsoft Windows Support," and "Bind ing IPX to a Network Adapter," earlier in this chapter.
If you copied the NDIS-compliant IPX.COM or the Microsoft Windows drivers for NetWare to the source directory, you can skip the sections of installation that have to do with generating IPX.COM and using the Windows Setup program.

Installing With an Altered Distribution Disk

To simplify floppy-disk installation of NetWare Connectivity, you can copy extra files to the floppy disk you use to install NetWare Connectivity. Using this altered disk to install NetWare Connectivity, you can skip some steps of the installation process.

After you have installed NetWare Connectivity on one workstation using the original NetWare Connectivity distribution disk, you can copy the IPX.COM file generated during that installation to the floppy disk you use for installation. Copy the IPX.COM file to the directory containing the NWSETUP.EXE program. This way, when you use that disk to install NetWare Connectivity on other workstations, the Setup program will copy to the workstation the IPX.COM you already generated, instead of generating another copy of it. You will find the NDIS-compliant IPX.COM file in the LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG directory (if the workstation runs LAN Manager Enhanced), or in the LANMAN.DOS\REDIR directory (if the workstation runs LAN Manager Basic).

You can also copy all versions of the NETx.COM, NETX.COM, and NETX.EXE files that your network uses to the source directory you are preparing. This way, you will not have to use the NetWare distribution disks at all during installation. If you have a token-ring network that uses source routing, you should also copy ROUTE.COM to the NW subdirectory.

If the workstations you install NetWare Connectivity on have Microsoft Windows version 3.0 or later, you can copy the Microsoft Windows drivers for NetWare to your installation floppy disk. This way, you will not have to use the Windows Setup program when you install NetWare Connectivity. Copy the necessary Windows operating system files from your Microsoft Windows distribution diskettes or from the WINDOWS directory of a workstation that already has Windows operating system support for NetWare or NetWare Connectivity installed. Copy these files to the root directory of the disk (the directory containing the NWSETUP.EXE file):

NETWARE.DRV
VNETWARE.386
VIPX.386
