ISSUE/PROBLEM
Compatibility with the NetWare Shell
If your site is currently using Novell NetWare and you are installing
NetWare Lite on the same LAN, then there are some guidelines that should
be followed for both to function properly.
NetWare Lite functions on a single LAN segment. In other words, NetWare
Lite packets do not cross Novell bridges (NetWare Lite packets do cross
MAC layer bridges or repeaters, however). In a site that has existing
NetWare, each NetWare Lite network will be constrained to a single LAN
segment.
If there are workstations that will load both the NetWare shell and
NetWare Lite software, Novell strongly suggests the following load order:
IPX (The IPX you had or IPXODI that came with
NetWare Lite; either one but not both)
DOS Share (SHARE.EXE, if becoming a SERVER)
NetWare Lite Server (SERVER.EXE, if desired)
NetWare Lite Client (CLIENT.EXE, if desired)
NetWare Shell (NETx.COM)
After you have installed the Client to a workstation that will also be
running the NetWare Shell, you will need to modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT or
appropriate batch file to load the files in the correct order.
Note: With LASTDRIVE set, the NetWare Shell will map the first drive past
LASTDRIVE to the SYS:LOGIN directory of the NetWare server for you to log
in. If LASTDRIVE is not set, DOS defaults it to the E: drive; thus, F:
would be mapped to SYS:LOGIN. Also, if you use the MAP *1:= command in
your login script, *1 means the first drive past LASTDRIVE. If you are
dependent on certain drives being mapped with certain letters, changing
LASTDRIVE may change which drive letters are mapped. Be aware that all
drive letters, A: through Z:, can be mapped to NetWare servers. (NetWare
Lite can only map A: through LASTDRIVE.)
