SUMMARY

If Windows for Workgroups (WFWG) is upgraded over Windows with Novell NetWare Lite installed as the network, Windows for Workgroups workstations may not be able to view other Windows for Workgroups servers on the network.

For Windows for Workgroups to operate properly, all references and settings for NetWare Lite should be removed from the Windows for Workgroups configuration files, and from the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.

MORE INFORMATION

To remove NetWare Lite and the changes it may have made, do the following:

  1. Remove the following lines from the [386Enh] section of the Windows for Workgroups SYSTEM.INI file: 

          UniqueDOSPSP=True
      PSPIncrement=5
      OverlappedIO=Off
      TimerCriticalSection=10000
      ReflectDOSInt2A=True

  2. Remove the following entry from the Network= line in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file: 

          VIPX.386

  3. Remove any changes that NetWare Lite made to the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, including removing the NetWare Lite directory from the PATH line of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
