Overview: Gateway Service for NetWare

With Gateway Service for NetWare (Gateway Service), you can access file and print resources on NetWare servers from your computer. You can access resources on NetWare 4.x servers that use NDS and on NetWare servers that use bindery-style security.

You can create a gateway so you can share NetWare resources with Microsoft networking clients that do not have NetWare client software. You can create gateways to both NDS and bindery resources.

Client Service for NetWare supports some NetWare utilities and NetWare-aware applications from your computer.


Gateway

A mechanism that gives Microsoft-networking clients access to file and print resources that reside on NetWare servers. A NetWare volume, directory, or print queue accessed over the file gateway appears to a Microsoft-networking client like any disk or folder shared by a computer running Windows NT Server.

Preferred Server

The preferred server is the NetWare server that you connect to by default when you log onto your computer. The preferred server validates your user credentials and is queried when you request information about resources available on the NetWare network.


Default tree and context

Defines the position of the user object that you use to log on to an NDS tree on a network that uses NDS.


Frame Type

The format of IPX/SPX packets on your network. Network topologies supported by Client Service include Ethernet, Token Ring, ArcNet, and FDDI. Frame types supported include Ethernet II, Ethernet 802.3, 802.2, SNAP, and ArcNet.


Windows NT Registry

A database that stores configuration and system information for a computer running Windows NT Server. The Registry replaces the CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and *.INI files that are used on MS-DOS and Windows-based workstations.


Routing on a Token Ring Network

When a computer using NWLink receives an IPX/SPX broadcast packet or an IPX/SPX packet with a node address that is not in its source routing table, by default the computer forwards the packet as a Single Route Broadcast frame.

NWLink parameters that affect routing in a token-ring environment can be modified for the current Windows NT Workstation session with the command-line utility Ipxroute.exe (IPXRoute). IPXRoute provides the same functionality as the Route.exe command-line utility supplied by Novell for its MS-DOS–based clients.

IPXRoute manages the source routing variables of NWLink on a token ring network. It is installed only if the NWLink transport protocol is bound to a token-ring network adapter card.

IPXRoute parameters are equivalent to the Route.exe utility parameters supplied by Novell. Complete syntax is described below and in the Command Reference Help.

Ipxroute Syntax

ipxroute board=n [clear] [def] [gbr] [mbr] [remove=xxxxx]

board=n

Specifies the network adapter card whose parameters you want to change.

clear

Clears the source-routing table.

def

Forwards packets as All Routes Broadcast frames if their media access control (MAC) address is not in the source-routing table.

gbr

Forwards general broadcast packets—those addressed to the broadcast address (FFFFFFFFFFFF)—as All Routes Broadcast frames.

mbr

Forwards multicast broadcast packets—those addressed to a multicast address (C000xxxxxxxx)—as All Routes Broadcast frames.

remove=xxxxx

Removes the given node address from the source routing table.

The IPXRoute utility changes these parameters for only the current session. When you log off, the settings are lost. To permanently change NWLink parameters, you must set them in the Registry.


Source routing table

A table that contains the address of each node on a token-ring network.


To configure NWLink

1	In Control Panel, double-click Network.

2	Click the Protocols tab.

3	Click NwLink IPX/SPX Compatible Transport, then click Properties.

4	Select either Auto Frame Type Detection or Manual Frame Type Detection.

5	If you select Manual, click Add, and enter a Frame Type and Network Number for each type you want to add; then click Add..

6	Click OK.

Notes

Additional tunable parameters for NWLink are stored in the Registry. In most situations, you should not have to modify the defaults. Use this procedure only if you want to bind NWLink to a different network adapter card or to manually change the frame type.

By default, NWLink automatically detects the frame type used by the network adapter card to which it is bound. If NWLink detects no network traffic or any frames of type 802.2, it sets the frame type to 802.2. Otherwise, it sets the frame type to match the frames it detects.

Notes

When you map a network drive, you are connected by default under the username and password you used to log on. To connect under a different username, type it in Connect As.


Default Credentials

The username and password that you use to connect to the preferred server. When you connect to resources on a different NetWare server, your default credentials are passed to that server unless you specify a different username or password.


UNC

Universal Naming Convention is a standard syntax for specifying resources on a remote computer. UNC names begin with a double backslash, followed by the server name, and then the names of the volume or directory points on the server, separated by backslashes. For example, if the file server NW5 contains the THOR volume on which there is a directory WINAPPS\WORD, the UNC name is: \\NW5\THOR\WINAPPS\WORD


Using the Command Prompt to View NetWare Resources

To display a list of NetWare file servers

At the command prompt, use the following syntax:

net view /network:nw

To display volumes on a specific NetWare file server

Using the Command Prompt to Connect to NetWare File Resources

For connecting to NetWare file servers, the net use command is equivalent to the NetWare map command on MS-DOS–based NetWare workstations. The following procedures illustrate how it is used.

You can connect to individual NetWare volumes that use bindery-style security and to NDS trees. NetWare server volumes, directories, and print queues are represented by UNC names and use the same command syntax as networks based on Microsoft Windows.

To connect to an individual NetWare volume

At the command prompt, use the following syntax:

net use <drive>: <UNCname or NetWarename>

For example, to redirect the G drive to the directory \data\mydata of the THOR volume on a server called NW4 using UNC naming syntax, type:

net use G: \\nw4\thor\data\mydata

The error message: "The password is invalid for \\<server name>\<volume name>[\<directory name>...]" indicates that your username and password is not authenticated.

To connect under a valid username and password

Add your username and password to the command line, using the following syntax:

/user: <username> <password>

For example, to connect as anniep with the password marshmallow to the directory \data\mydata within the THOR volume on a server called NW4 using the G drive, type:

net use G: \\nw4\thor\data\mydata /user:anniep marshmallow

To connect to an NDS tree

At the command prompt, type the following syntax:

net use <drive>: \\treename\VolumeName.OrgName.OrgName [/u:UserName.OrgName.OrgName [password]]

Refer to the following guidelines:

treename is the name of the tree VolumeName.

OrgName is the tree location to which you want to connect.

UserName.OrgName.OrgName is the user name and context for this tree (unless it is your default tree).

The tree location, user name, and context can be typed in either label or label-less format.

Notes and Tips

To use the next available drive letter when connecting at the command prompt, replace the drive letter with an asterisk (*) in the syntax. For example:

net use *: <UNCname or NetWarename>

If you prefer to be prompted for a password, replace the password in the command line with an asterisk (*). When you type your password at the prompt, it does not appear on screen.

About Gateway Share Permissions


Permissions

The kind of access a user or group is allowed to a shared resource, such as a directory, file, or printer. For example, the permissions associated with a file or directory are No Access, Read Only, Change, and Full Control.


Gateway Account

A NetWare user account that belongs to a group called NTGATEWAY. The account is used to create an authenticated connection from a computer running Windows NT Server to a NetWare server.

Gateway accounts can be granted maximum permissions on NetWare servers.


NTGATEWAY

A group on NetWare servers. Accounts used to create a gateway must belong to this group.


Network path

The location of a shared resource on the network. The Universal Naming Convention syntax for a Windows NT Server or NetWare bindery-style network path is two backslashes followed by the name of a computer and then the volume name and the name of any directories and subdirectories, each separated by a single backslash. For example, \\nw4\thor\data\sys specifies a directory \Data\Sys on the thor volume of a server called NW4.

To specify an NDS resource, separate each level of the tree with a period, and use either labeled or label-less terminology. For example, \\ndstree\volumename.orgunit.orgname specifies the volumename volume, which is located in orgunit.orgname of the tree named ndstree.

Application	Version	Prerequisites
Paradox for MS-DOS	4.0	None
NetWare 3270 LAN Workstation for MS-DOS	3.0	Supported only on x86 platform
DCA IRMA LAN for MS-DOS to Novell's SAA	2.1.0	None
Btrieve requester (Brequest.exe)	6.10a	TSR


Nwipxspx.dll

Many 16-bit NetWare-aware applications require Nwipxspx.dll from Novell. If you have previously used the application on the same computer under another version of Microsoft Windows and running Windows NT Workstation, Nwipxspx.dll is already on your system. If you start the application and it cannot find this file, check your path by typing path at the command prompt. Verify that a copy of Nwipxspx.dll can be found. If not, obtain a copy of Nwipxspx.dll from Novell and copy it to the \systemroot\System32 directory.

If you copy Nwipxspx.dll to your computer or modify your path statement, you must log off and then log on again for the changes to take effect.


NETWARE.DRV, NWNETAPI.DLL, and NWCALLS.DLL

Some NetWare-aware applications that use the NetWare application programming interface (API) to send and receive NetWare core protocol (NCP) packets require Netware.drv and either Nwnetapi.dll or, for more recent versions of NetWare, Nwcalls.dll.

Netware.drv is installed in the \systemroot\System32 directory when you install Client Service. If you have previously used a NetWare-aware application on the same computer using an MS-DOS–based version of Windows, Nwnetapi.dll or Nwcalls.dll is probably already installed on your computer. If your application cannot find Nwnetapi.dll or Nwcalls.dll, make sure the appropriate file is installed on your computer and is in the search path. If you are running the application on the Digital Alpha, MIPS, or PowerPC platform or if you can't locate one of these .dll files on your computer, contact Novell to obtain a copy of the appropriate file, and install it in your \systemroot\System32 directory.

If you cannot load your NetWare-aware application with the version of Netware.drv installed with the Client Service, replace Netware.drv with the corresponding file supplied by Novell, dated 10/27/92 with a file size of 126,144 bytes.

If you copied any of these files to your computer or modified your path statement during the current session, you must log off, and then log on again for the changes to take effect.


Connection to a NetWare Server

If you do not have a preferred server and you have not connected to any NetWare server, you must first create a connection to a NetWare server.


Btrieve

If you are running MS-DOS–based or 16-bit Windows applications that require the Btrieve requester, Brequest.exe, you must modify the Autoexec.nt file located in \systemroot\system32. Find the location of Brequest.exe on your computer and append location information in the Autoexec.nt file.

For example, if Brequest.exe is located within the C:\Btrieve directory, append the line shown below to Autoexec.nt:

lh c:\btrieve\brequest.exe

Then log off and log on again for the changes to take effect.


Attachmate Extra! Extended for MS-DOS

If Extra! batch files are run from a console window, make the first line of the batch files command /c so that the Extra! hot keys work after Extra! has been initialized.


Attachmate Extra! for Windows IPX/SPX Connectivity

Attachmate Extra! for Windows requires the IPXINTFC, a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) utility. This TSR must be loaded by Autoexec.nt before the DOSX TSR is loaded.

For example, if Attachmate Extra! for Windows is installed in the C:\Extrawin subdirectory. make sure the following three lines appear, in this order, in Autoexec.nt:

lh c:\extrawin\ipxintfc

REM Install DPMI support

lh \systemroot\system32\dosx

You must log off and log on again for the changes to take effect.

Setting The Refresh Interval


Using the Command Prompt to Connect to a NetWare Print Queue

When you run any application that writes directly to a predefined port, net use works like the NetWare capture utility, associating the NetWare print queue with the port.

To redirect output from a port to a print queue

Use net use followed by the server and print queue.

For example: net use lpt1 \\nw4\memos redirects output from LPT1 to the NetWare print queue called MEMOS on the server NW4. This is equivalent to the NetWare capture q=memos s=nw4 l=1 command line.

To send files that do not require formatting to LPT1

After you redirect output with net use, use copy.

For example: copy myfile.txt lpt1

To copy a file directly to a print queue

After you redirect output with net use, use copy.

For example: copy myfile.txt \\nw4\memos

To connect to a printer in an NDS tree

Use the following syntax:

net use <drive>: \\treename\PrintName.OrgName.OrgName [/u:UserName.OrgName.OrgName [password]]

Refer to the following guidelines:

treename is the name of the tree VolumeName.

OrgName is the tree location to which you want to connect.

UserName.OrgName.OrgName is the user name and context for this tree (unless it is your default tree).

The tree location, user name, and context can be typed in either label or label-less format.
