To migrate a NetWare Lite server to Personal NetWare, you install Personal NetWare on that computer. During the installation, you must select the "Share this computer's resources" toggle to make your machine a Personal NetWare server. Then log in to the workgroup as Supervisor. Now you must assign your Personal NetWare server to the workgroup by highlighting the server name in the NetWare window and selecting File > Properties > Set Workgroup. Exit to DOS and type NLMIGRAT at the command line. NLMIGRAT upgrades the server, user and resource database on the local machine. Reboot the station.
For security reasons, NLMIGRAT does not convert NetWare Lite passwords. You must assign new passwords for each user......er....

Access rights determine what a user can do with a particular resource. There are four types of rights that you can assign in Personal NetWare. "All" means that users can read and write to a directory and use a printer. "Read" means users can only read the files in the directory. "Write" means users can only write to a directory. This is useful if you want to set up a drop box directory for users. "None" means that users cannot read or write to a directory, or use the printer. Resources have default access rights that can be superceded by the explicit access rights given to a user. to a user.

One-time login enables users to log in to a workgroup and NetWare servers by entering a password and user name once, as long as the user name and password are the same for the workgroup and the NetWare servers.
p and the NetWare servers.
nd line.
Password
A password is a series of characters needed to gain access to a computer, file, directory, or network.
Use a password that is unique and easy to remember. Change your password frequently and use a completely new password, do not use the same password multiple times. Do not keep a written note of your password near your computer.
printer port
A printer port is a connector on the back of your computer. There are two types of printer ports - serial and parallel. Serial ports are referred to as COM ports. Parallel ports are referred to as LPT ports. Personal NetWare enables you to connect your LPT printer ports to printers that are attached to other users' computers. When you print to your local LPT port, your print jobs are sent to the remote printers that have been assigned to your printer ports.
routes
Routes are logical addresses that are used by network computers. Just as all houses on your street use the same street address, all computers on the same network use the same network address. If your computer needs to communicate with a computer on another network, you must define the other computer's network address in the workgroup's route list by highlighting the workgroup icon in the NetWare window and selecting File > Properties > Routes.
Refer to Personal NetWare Help for more information on network routes.
server
A server is a computer that provides shared resources, such as printers and directories, to other computers (clients) on a network.

Workgroup
Workgroups consist of a group of users on a network who have information or resources that they wish to share among themselves. A Personal NetWare workgroup must include at least one Personal NetWare server.
rver.
Workgroup Administrator
A workgroup administrator has all rights to manage the workgroup by creating, changing, deleting and managing workgroup user accounts.
Applications
An application is a computer program. For example, your word processing program, spreadsheet program and database program are applications.
Most applications can be shared across the network, however, you must obtain a multiple user license from the manufacturer.
Networking
Networking requires you to physically hook all computers together using network interface cards and network cable.
On a network, you can use applications and printers that are loaded on or attached to other users' machines..............to your machine.
supervisor account
The Suppervisor Account is a special account that has rights to create Personal NetWare users, configure a Personal NetWare server and assign file system rights.
Refer to "Overview of Administration" for more information on the Supervisor Account.
tape backup
A tape backup device (available from most computer resellers) is used to copy all data from a hard drive onto a magnetic tape. If a file is lost or corrupted on the hard drive, it can be recovered from the tape backup.
It is strongly recommended that you regularly backup all important data on your network.
network interface card
A network interface card is a special card installed in your computer which allows you to communicate on the network. The network interface card has special settings that must not conflict with any other component of your computer. For example, your LPT1 port that you hook a printer to uses interrupt 7. When you install your network interface card, you cannot use interrupt 7.
Refer to your network interface card documentation for information on selecting and configuring your card settings....
network cables
Many different types of network cables are used in networking. Coaxial cable is the same type of cable used to connect your television to the cable network system.
Twisted-pair cable is the same type of cable that your telephone uses. The type of cable you use is determined by the type of network interface card you are using.
Refer to your network interface card manufacturer's manual for additional information on connecting to the cabling system. +,

A dedicated file server is a computer that is only used to store files and provide other services such as printing. It is not used as a client. ions.
peer-to-peer
Each computer on a peer-to-peer network can be both a client and a server.
Servers share resources with clients. Clients access server resources on the network.
A Personal NetWare station that is a client/server shares local resources and accesses remote resources on the network.
centralized management
Centralized management allows an individual to create workgroup users, view all workgroup resources, and assign access privileges from a single PC on the network.
log in
To access a workgroup and its resources, you must log in using a password and login name assigned to you by your network administrator. You can log in to the Personal NetWare workgroup, to servers from the NetWare 2 and 3 product families and to trees of the NetWare 4 product family. trees of the NetWare 4 product family. Ware 2.x, 3.x and 4.x server.
DOS stands for Disk Operating System. DOS is your local operating system. There are many types of DOS (Novell DOS, MS DOS, PC DOS, and DR DOS). Personal NetWare works with all types of DOS. This is the software that was installed on your computer the first time it was configured. This operating system enables you to access the hard drive, disk drives, and printers.
icons
An icon is a graphical representation of a device (such as a printer), or object (such as a user or workgroup). Icon
cd-rom
CD-ROM stands for Compact Disc-Read Only Memory. This is a drive type that uses compact discs (CDs), which store up to 600 megabytes of information. CD-ROM drives allow you to read from the compact discs, but not write to them.
multiprotocol
The computers in a Personal NetWare workgroup communicate using NetWare protocols. Apple computers use AppleTalk protocols, and many Unix machines use TCP/IP protocols. Servers from the NetWare 3 and 4 product families can communicate using all of these protocols -- these servers are considered multiprotocol servers.
connection
A network connection is a logical attachment to a network's resources and servers. If you have an active connection to a Personal NetWare workgroup, the workgroup icon appears in color on the left side of the NetWare window.
explicit rights
Explicit rights can be assigned to an individual user on the network. For example, if you decide to share a directory and set the default rights to Read and Wtie, you can set explicit rights of "None" for one user on the network. This explicit rights assignment blocks that user from accessing the directory.
connection number
Your connection number is the logical number assigned to your computer when you log in to a workgroup or server.
A hub is a device that connects networked computers together. Some Ethernet vendors refer to a hub as a concentrator. On a token ring network, the central hub device is called a multistation access unit. On an ARCnet network, there are two types of hubs -- active and passive. A passive hub is simply a signal splitter, whereas an active hub is a signal splitter and regenerator.
Consult with your network reseller when considering which type of hub to use..to use.
netwire
NetWire is an electronic forum that is accessible through CompuServe. Using a modem and communications package, you can dial in to the NetWire forums and get technical support assistance from Novell employees, resellers, other users and SysOps (NetWire System Operators). Call CompuServe at either 800/848-8990 or 614/457-8650 to set up an account.

In this section you learn about setting up basic security on your Personal NetWare network.
:PHYSSIZE
One of the ways to establish a secure network is by organizing your computer's directory structure for limited access. When setting up directories on your hard drive, keep in mind which directories you want to share with other users, and which directories should be private.
There are many ways to create your local directory structure to make setting up your security easier. You could, for example, make one directory that contains files that should be shared with all users on the network. You could also make a separate directory that should be shared with only one or two other users. You may want to keep all other directories private.
For more information on security, refer to Topic 5, "Sharing Your Disk and Printer."

Passwords should be assigned to all network users. Your password is the key to the workgroup resources. To set a new password, click your user icon in the NetWare window and select File > Properties from the menu bar and click the Set Pass button. You are prompted for your existing password and your new password.
Use a password that is unique and easy to remember. Change your password frequently and use a completely new password; do not use the same password multiple times. Do not keep a written note of your password near your computer.
If you forget your password, ask someone with access to the Supervisor Account or a Workgroup Administrator to create a new password for you.

Set up your local computer as a server if you want to share your directories or printers with other users on the network.
During the installation of Personal NetWare, you decide if your computer should be a server. When your machine boots up after install, it is a server.
When you set up your Personal NetWare server, you must place it in a workgroup to allow access to workgroup users. On a new installation, you are automatically in the setup screen when you reboot your server. On an existing installation, highlight the server name and select File > Properties from the menu bar. Click the Set Workgroup button to move the server into another workgroup.F

A printer port is a connector on the back of your computer. There are two types of printer ports - serial and parallel. Serial ports are referred to as COM ports. Parallel ports are referred to as LPT ports. Personal NetWare enables you to connect your LPT printer ports to printers that are attached to other users' computers. When you print to your local LPT port, your print jobs are sent to the remote printers that have been assigned to your printer ports.

Your network has special components that connect the computers together (hardware) and enable the computers to communicate with each other (software).
Your network hardware includes a network interface card that is installed in each computer on your network. Network cables attach to each of these cards. You may also have a device, such as a hub, that connects the cables together.
Your network software is Personal NetWare. This software is installed on all the computers that are part of of your network.

A hub is a device that connects networked computers together. Some Ethernet vendors refer to a hub as a concentrator. On a token ring network, the central hub device is called a Multistation Access Unit. On an ARCnet network, there are two types of hubs, active and passive. A passive hub is simply a signal splitter, whereas an active hub is a signal splitter and regenerator.
Consult with your network reseller when considering which type of hub to use.

Personal NetWare supports any type of Novell NetWare-supported network. You are probably working on one of three common network types, Ethernet, Token Ring, or ARCnet.
Ethernet networks can have all computers attached to a common coaxial cable, or to a centralized hub (often called a concentrator) using twisted-pair cable.
Token Ring networks use a centralized hub, called a Multistation Access Unit. All network computers connect to this device.
The most common ARCnet configuration uses hubs to connect computers. These ARCnet hubs can connect to other hubs to expand the network.
The three most common network types are Ethernet, Token Ring and ARCnet. Which

Some networks also use a dedicated file server that stores files and provides other services, such as printing, to network clients. NetWare 2, 3 and 4 use dedicated servers. These versions of NetWare are called client/server network operating systems.
Peer-to-peer networks allow computers to share resources with each other without requiring a dedicated file server.
Personal NetWare is the next generation of peer-to-peer network because, in addition to allowing each computer to share resources, Personal NetWare allows centralized management of the entire workgroup. On a Personal NetWare network, computers can be both a client and a server.............a server and share your resources with others, and you can be a client and access other resources on the network. the network.

Overview of Networking
As your business grows, so does your need to share resources and files.
Networks enable sharing among groups of people. For example, a video store may have six check-out stations. The clerk at each station must search through a database to see if movies are available. By networking the clerks' stations, you provide a central database that all the clerks can share.
Networking also allows users to share resources such as printers and applications. For example, if a company purchased one expensive laser printer, it could be shared by all network users.
