MS-DOS
Summary:
Using LAN Manager version 2.1, you can install the NetWare
Connectivity package on a remote boot (RPL) client. To do so, however,
the NetWare Connectivity piece must be installed on an MS-DOS LAN
Manager bootable workstation. Selected files will then be moved to the
LAN Manager RPL tree on the server, thereby allowing the client access
to NetWare services.
More Information:
To install the NetWare Connectivity package on a remote boot client,
do the following:
1. Install a LAN Manager 2.1 MS-DOS workstation and the NetWare
Connectivity piece on a bootable machine. From this installation,
the following files are needed for the RPL installation:
File Default Directory
---- -----------------
PROTOCOL.INI C:\LANMAN.DOS
DOSVER.EXE C:\LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG
FIXPATH.EXE C:\LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG
IPX.COM C:\LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG
NETx.COM C:\LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG
NWLOAD.BAT C:\LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG
NWUNLOAD.BAT C:\LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG
IPXMARK.EXE C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTOCOL\IPX
IPXREL.EXE C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTOCOL\IPX
2. On the server, copy all the files, except PROTOCOL.INI, to the
C:\LANMAN\RPL\RPLFILES\BINFILES\LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG directory. The
PROTOCOL.INI entry for the IPX protocol ONLY will be required.
Using a text editor, copy the [IPX_XIF] section from the
workstation's PROTOCOL.INI to the PROTOCOL.INI in the
C:\LANMAN\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\<drivertype>\PROTOCOL.INI directory.
The entry should look like the following:
[IPX_XIF]
Drivername = IPX$
LOAD = IPXMARK[U],IPX[U]
UNLOAD = IPXREL[C]
BINDINGS = ELNKII_NIF
It is important that the IPX stub be labeled as [IPX_XIF], NOT just
[IPX]. If it is incorrectly labeled, IPX will not unload via the
UNLOAD command. Instead, it will result in the following error
message:
IPX00023: cannot unbind IPX from network adapter card
Cannot unload NetWare Connectivity
Error:1 - Executing IPXREL
If this error occurs, check the PROTOCOL.INI entry.
3. After the files have been copied, it may be necessary to edit the
NWLOAD.BAT file.
Upon successful completion of the above steps, the workstation can be
remote booted, and the NetWare Connectivity can be loaded and unloaded
at will.
