TITLE: Compatibility with the NetWare Shell
DOCUMENT ID#: FYI.P.6031
DATE: October 29, 1991
PRODUCT: NetWare Lite
PRODUCT VERSION: All versions
SUPERSEDES: NA
SYMPTOM: NA
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 in order 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 we strongly suggest the following load
order:
IPX (either 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)
Once 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 login. If LASTDRIVE is not set,
DOS defaults it to E:, 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 dependant on
certain drives being mapped with certain letters, changing
LASTDRIVE may change which drive letters are mapped. Be aware
that all drive letters, A: - Z:, can be mapped to NetWare servers
(NetWare Lite can only map A: - LASTDRIVE).
