    INSTALLING NETBIOS EMULATION SOFTWARE

    
       Intel has not fully tested ProShare software with Banyan VINES, however
    
       the following instructions have been used successfully by many customers
    
       to get Banyan VINES working with the ProShare software.
    
    
    
       Before attempting to install the VINES NetBIOS emulation software, check
    
       with your network administrator to be sure that NetBIOS services are
    
       available on your network server.
    
    
    
       Note: These instructions are intended for workstations running BAN.EXE. 
    
       BAN.EXE automatically loads the network drivers and configuration
    
       information you requested while running the PCConfig program.  If you
    
       are loading your VINES network drivers and configuration information
    
       using a separate batch file (using the command  BAN.EXE /NC  within the
    
       batch file), you will need to have your network administrator install
    
       the VINES NetBIOS emulation software for you.
    
    
    
       Installing the NetBIOS emulation software:
    
    
    
         1. Run the PCConfig program.  The PCConfig program should be located
    
            in your Banyan software directory (usually C:\BAN).
    
    
    
         2. Select #3 "Special Software Settings" from the first menu.
    
    
    
         3. Select #1 "Load Resident NetBIOS Emulation Software".
    
    
    
         4. Answer "Y" to "Load NETBIOS support (Y/N):".
    
    
    
            Note: At this point you may get the error "Named Pipe redirector
    
            not installed. Unable to enable named pipes."  If you get this
    
            error, see Installing the Named Pipes Redirector.
    
    
    
         5. Press F10 when done, then ESC to exit PCConfig.
    
    
    
       Next, you'll need to edit your User Profile.
    
    
    
    

    EDITING USER PROFILE

    
         1. To edit your User Profile, run the program MUSER from your Banyan
    
            software directory.
    
    
    
         2. Select your name from the list that appears.
    
            (PgDn through the list, use the arrow keys to highlight your name,
    
            then press ENTER).
    
    
    
         3. Select "MANAGE user profile" from the menu that appears.
    
    
    
         4. Select #1 "EDIT profile" Your user profile should be displayed at
    
            this point.
    
    
    
         5. Add the following line at the end of your user profile:
    
    
    
            SETNETB /NAME: "<NetBIOS Service Name>"
    
    
    
            Where <NetBIOS Service Name> is the name and location of your
    
            NetBIOS server.  (Contact your network administrator if you don't
    
            know your <NetBIOS Service Name>.)
    
    
    
         6. Press F10 when finished, then ESC to exit MUSER.
    
    
    
         7. Reboot your computer so the new settings can take effect.
    
    
    
       Note: For better performance and reliability when running the ProShare
    
       1.6 application on a Banyan VINES network using NetBIOS, ask your
    
       network administrator to install Banyan patch number 5.53(6)-VNS-KG-1 on
    
       your server.
    
    
    
    

    INSTALLING THE NAMED PIPES REDIRECTOR

    
       Follow this portion only if you get the error message "Name Pipes
    
       redirector not installed".
    
    
    
         1. Run the PCCopy program from your Banyan software directory.
    
    
    
         2. Select "Copy Redirectors Only" from the first menu.
    
    
    
         3. Select REDIRNP4.EXE if you are using DOS v4.x or higher, or select 
    
            REDIRNP3.EXE if using DOS 3.x
    
    
    
            Note: Use the arrow keys to highlight from the list.  Press ENTER
    
            to select/deselect from the list.
    
    
    
         4. Press F10 when done, then ESC to exit PCCopy.
    
    
    
         5. Run the PCConfig program again.
    
    
    
         6. Select #3 "Special Software Settings" from the first menu.
    
    
    
         7. Select #5 "Load Named Pipe Support Software".
    
    
    
         8. Answer "Y" to "Include Named Pipes and MAILSLOTS support (Y/N):".
    
    
    
         9. Press F10 when done, then ESC to exit PCConfig.
    
    
    
         10.Reboot the computer to load the Named Pipes Redirector driver.
    
    
    
       At this point, go back and follow the steps at the beginning of this
    
       document to load the resident NetBIOS support.  You won't get the "Named
    
       Pipes Redirector not installed" message.
