SUMMARY

When running Microsoft Windows version 3.1 on a Novell network, the following software version should be used: 

Filename               Version
--------               -------

IPX.COM                 3.1
NETX.COM                3.26
TBMI2.COM               2.1
IPXODI.COM              1.2
LSL.COM                 1.21
You can determine the software version by issuing the following two commands from the MS-DOS command prompt: 

   IPX I

   NVER
Microsoft recommends that both commands be used as a cross-reference.

MORE INFORMATION

Windows 3.1 comes with all of these drivers, or in the case of IPX.COM, the necessary IPX.OBJ file is shipped. If you select Novell as your Network when you run Setup, the following files are expanded to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory (or to the shared network directory if you set up a shared copy of Windows by using SETUP /A and then using SETUP /N on each workstation). 

                         Compressed    Expanded  File

TBMI2.COM       2.10     6612         17999     3/10/92
IPXODI.COM      1.20     13552        20903     3/10/92
LSL.COM         1.21     6278         7662      3/10/92
VIPX.386        n/a      8864         19197     3/10/92
If you are running an earlier version of Novell IPX.COM, you need to have your system administrator regenerate a new IPX.COM from the Windows 3.1 IPX.OBJ using the shell generation program SHGEN.EXE.

The changes from IPX 3.0x to 3.1 do not affect Novell's NetBIOS or MS-DOS applications making NetBIOS calls.
