Lan Server/Lan Manager and Novell Server conectivity for OS/2 1.3 Workstations
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a recent project there was a need for connectivity to Netware and Lan
Manager servers at the same time. After many trial and error attempts success
was achieved, inspite of the lack of help MicroSoft.
I have documented here the setup that will achieve the above. All files can
be found on CompuServe for Novell, ie. NSD004.ZIP. As for OS/2 and Lan
Server, IBM suppliers can help.
Our configuration of servers includes Novell and MicroSoft Lan Manager
servers. The main DLL for both pieces of software is the NETAPI.DLL.
Unfortunately each requester, Novell/Lan Manager, does not work with the other's
NETAPI.DLL, and only one NETAPI.DLL can be loaded on the workstation at any
given time.
IBM Lan Server does not use the NETAPI.DLL and is compatible with Lan
Mananger.
Lan Server mostly solved my problems bar the need for two token-ring cards,
though I believe has since been solved for OS/2 1.3 using ODINSUP.SYS.
Some drivers for Lan Server and Netware do not work together unless the
version of OS/2 is 1.30.1, CSD 5015 or higher.
As I had so much trouble achieving the connectivity I wanted, I thought that
this document might help some other unfortunate people trying connect Netware
to Lan Server/Lan Manager.

The aim of this excercise is to connect an OS/2 1.3 workstation to the
following types of server at the same time:
IBM Lan Server
Microsoft Lan Manager
Novell Netware
This example is for an IBM Token-Ring card. For other cards that are
supported by both IBM and Novell the relevant driver SHOULD be OK as the
connectivity is achieved at a different layer of the software.
The requirements are:
OS/2 1.30.1, CSD 5015.
Novell Netware v3.11 (with NSD level 4 for named pipes to work)
IBM Lan Server v2.0.
2 Token-Ring cards.
The file dates and sizes for NSD level 4 Netware are:
LSL.SYS 16944 19-11-91 8:22a
DDAEMON.EXE 8496 19-11-91 8:22a
TOKEN.SYS 25392 13-12-91 4:54p
ROUTE.SYS 33200 25-06-91 9:53p
IPX.SYS 10416 22-11-91 8:34p
NWREQ.SYS 17888 9-04-91 4:09p
NWIFS.IFS 34720 10-04-92 1:15p
NWDAEMON.EXE 25168 10-04-92 1:16p
INSTALLATIONS
-------------
Install IBM Lan Server and ensure that the requester is working OK.
Install Novell Netware, on installation specify drives as:
NETWARE\DRIVERS
NETWARE\NETPROG
NETWARE\DLL
This is to keep similarities between Lan Server and Netware file layout.
Check the config.sys. The Lan Server paths must appear first in all statements
ie. PATH, LIBPATH, DPATH etc...
NET.CFG modifications
---------------------
By using a reference diskette, find out the address, DMA of the Token-Ring
cards. On IBM machines the Primary adapter is 0A20 and the Alternate adapter
is 0A24. These values will be used to set the Netware to use the alternate
adapter.
Edit a NET.CFG file as follows and place it ind the DPATH directory stated in
the CONFIG.SYS:
link driver token
port 0A24
Where TOKEN is the file name of the card driver ie. TOKEN.SYS
If the port address is not known then try:
link driver token
DMA x
Where x is the DMA number of the alternate token-ring card.
There are problems with the Netware reading the NET.CFG file correctly. If
on rebooting the Netware requester uses the wrong port, interrupt & DMA etc..
then re-edit the NET.CFG with a different editor. The Netware software appears
to be tab sensitive.
If the NET.CFG file is read correctly by the Netware software both requesters
should start and work together.
