Running NetWare Lite V1.1 Server/Client 3/15/94..
Running NetWare Lite^ V1.1 SERVER and CLIENT under OS/2^ 2.X
----------------------------------------------------------------
Requirement 1:
--------------
Getting SERVER and CLIENT to work under OS/2^ requires that the
Novell^ NetWare^ REQUESTER for OS/2^ 2.X be installed. Besides the
Requester, the update the for Requester called NSD201.ZIP MUST also
be installed on the OS/2^ system.
Requirement 2:
--------------
SERVER and CLIENT must be started from a unique DOS SESSION and
environment. The DOS SESSION that SERVER and CLIENT must be
started under has to be run from an image file; this image file is
created from a bootable DOS diskette. The image file is created by
using the OS/2^ utility called VMDISK.EXE located in the \OS2\MDOS
subdirectory. This DOS diskette should also contain the following
files:
COMMAND.COM -- from the DOS that created the boot disk.
DOSVIPX.SYS -- from the NetWare subdirectory created by the
Requester.
FSFILTER.SYS -- from the \OS2\MDOS subdirectory created by OS/2^
AUTOEXEC.BAT -- set up like shown in EXAMPLE 1.
CONFIG.SYS -- set up like shown in EXAMPLE 2.
Requirement 3:
--------------
The DOS SESSION's "DOS settings" should be set up as follows:
DOS COMMAND SETTING
----------- -------
*1. COM HOLD OFF
*2. DOS_BACKGROUND_EXECUTION ON
*3. DOS_BREAK OFF
*4. DOS_DEVICE EMPTY
5. DOS_FCBS 0
6. DOS_FCBS_KEEP 0
*7. DOS_FILES 40
(NOTE: OS/2 has problems with DOS_FILES being greater then 45)
8. DOS_HIGH OFF
9. DOS_LASDRIVE M
(NOE: This must be any letter other then Z, which is default)
*10. DOS_RMSIZE 640
11. DOS_SHELL EMPTY
12. DOS_STARTUP_DRIVE C:\DOS.IMG
(NOTE: The drive letter and Image file name should be that
you called it and where you put the image file)
*13. DOS_UMB OFF
*14. DOS_VERSION NOTHING SELECTED
15. DPMI_DOS_API DISABLED
16. DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT 0
*17. DPMI_NETWORK_BUFF_SIZE 8
18. EMS_FRAME_LOCATION NONE
19. EMS_HIGH_OS_MAP_REGION 0
20. EMS_LOW_OS_MAP_REGION 0
21. EMS_MEMORY_LIMIT 0
*22. HW_NOSOUND OFF
*23. HW_ROM_TO_RAM OFF
24. HW_TIMER ON
25. IDLE_SECONDS 1
(NOTE: Must not be zero)
26. IDLE_SENSITIVITY 30
(NOTE: Must not be much greater then 30 or the CPU usage will
start peeking)
*27. KBD_ALTHOME_BYPASS OFF
*28. KBD_BUFFER_EXTEND ON
*29. KBD_CTRL_BYOPASS NONE
*30. KBD_RATE_LOCK OFF
*31. MEM_EXCLUDE_REGIONS EMPTY
(NOTE: You may need to set this option if your network board
has a memory address that needs to be excluded)
*32. MEM_INCLUDE_REGION EMPTY
*33. MOUSE_EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS OFF
34. NetWare_RESOURCES NONE
*35. PRINT_TIMEOUT 15
*36. VIDEO_FASTPASTE OFF
*37. VIDEO_MODE_RESTRICTION NONE
*38. VIDEO_ONDEMAND_MEMORY ON
*39. VIDEO_RETRACE_EMULATION ON
*40. VIDEO_ROM_EMULATION ON
*41. VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION OFF
*42. VIDEO_WINDOW_REFRESH 1
*43. VIPX_ENABLED OFF
44. XMS_HANDLES 0
45. XMS_MEMORY_LIMIT 0
*46. XMS_MINIMUM_HMA 0
* OS/2^ DOS SESSION's default settings
Example 1:
----------
The CONFIG.SYS of the DOS SESSION should be as follows:
DEVICE=FSFILTER.SYS
SHELL=COMMAND.COM /p /e:512
FILES=50
BUFFERS=20
DEVICE=DOSVLPX.SYS
LASTDRIVE=X
(NOTE: X is the letter you want, as long as it is not Z)
Example 2:
----------
The AUTOEXEC.BAT of the DOS SESSION should be as follows:
PROMPT $p$g
PATH C:\DRDOS;C:\NWLITE;
SHARE
C:\NWLITE\SERVER.EXE
C:\NWLITE\CLIENT.EXE
Example 3:
----------
The NET.CFG is in the NWLITE subdirectory on the C: drive if NetWare
Lite^ was set up as a server or client/server. If would be found on
some other drive letter possibly if NetWare Lite^ was set up as a
client only.
The parameters in the NET.CFG below will not be used in the
OS/2-NetWare Lite^ set up; however, if other paramters are needed
for NetWare Lite specific functions, then the following NET.CFG
would get used:
#Setup the NE2000 board
Link driver NE2000
INT 5
PORT 3000
Example 4:
----------
The NET.CFG in the OS/2^ 2.X root directory. This is used by the
requester when OS/2^ is booting up to set up the netword board and
its invornment. If network level or driver level parameters are to
be added, then they should be added to the following NET.CFG file:
Link Driver NE2000
INT 5
PORT 300
Protocol Stack IPX
SOCKETS 100
Example 5:
----------
The CONFIG.SYS of the OS/2^ 2.X environment
The secion of the NetWare^ Requester was added by the Requester
Installation process.
The lines that have "<<<< NEED CHANGING" by them, should have the
REMARKing change made to then if this is a NetWare Lite^ network
only. If big NetWare^ is involved, then they should be left
unREMARKed.

NOTE: The setup and settings listed above in one way that they NetWare
Lite^ V1.1 and OS/2^ 2.X have worked together. These settings may be
adjusted further for better optimization depending on the system
configuration being used.
If the Netware Lite SERVER.EXE is run as shown in Example 2 above, this
may cause a multiple NetWare Lite^ server environment to be slower in
responding during LOGINs, MAPs, CAPTUREs, and other similar circumstances
because the NetWare Lite^ server under OS/2^ is on a time clice. This
means that when a NetWare Lite^ command is executed, other NetWare Lite^
servers may need to respond and the whole network may have to wait for
the NetWare Lite^ server running under OS/2^ to respond.
If only the NetWare Lite^ CLIENT.EXE is run, there should be no network
slow down because this would only be a client machine accessing other
servers on the network eliminating the slow down of clients accessing it
as a server.
This does not provided GLOBAL support to the OS/2^ sessions.
