- For our own purposes I wrote an lp-daemon. It's a pair of programs
- alike wslpd (receive print-jobs from unix workstations, print received files).
- The sources (Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5) are available(aftp) at
- baurz32.urz.uni-bamberg.de:/pub/windows31/lp_sourc.zip (exe-files in
- lp_recv.zip - may be used as freeware).The programs have been tested with
- Windows3.1/Winsocks1.1/Lan-Workplace.
-
- Because the programs have not been written to be published, most
- comments and strings are in german (sorry) and the programs may not be
- easy to read. I'm not a professional programmer and these programs are my
- first programs using winsocks and using printer output. So some
- APIs may be used not correctly.
-
- Thanks to Dave Brooks (the author of "Winsock Print Manager and
- Print Spooler"), who made his wslpd available last year and gave me
- some help to implement an own spooler compatible to his daemon (this
- was the first step, before I wrote my own daemon).
-
- Mail me if there are some questions.

- I recently did a similar install... similar but not identical, maybe this will
- help. (First, for what you're facing I'd highly recomment Micrsosoft's
- Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Resource Kit - THE _REAL_ manual.)
- Following this went quite smoothly using the MS TCP/IP-32 beta 2
- (Daytona) which install as 32-bit protected mode VxD. First, uninstall
- any existing TCP/IP, and tell WFW to NOT provide ANY network stuff
- in its Network Setup dialog. You want to install Novell first, then when
- WFW installs itself it automatically detects the presence of NetWare
- and saves you the trouble of some gruesome hand editting. We put
- on the Novel ODI drivers as recommended by all of the above -
- Novell quit supporting IPX/SPX long ago. The Novell ODI stuff takes
- about 4 lines in AUTOEXEC.BAT - lsl.com, <mlid> driver for your board,
- ipxodi.com, netx.exe - as I recall. Reboot and make sure all your NetWare
- connections come up OK. Then run Windows and Network Setup - tell
- it you want network support. On our machines, it did as advertised: detected
- NetWare's ODI stuff and auotmatically configured itself around it, even
- editted net.cfg to add appropriate frames etc. Reboot and make sure these
- two are working happily together. Then in Network Setup install the TCP/IP
- support as an [Add protocol...] Unlisted... (be sure to use mtcpb2.exe!! from
- ftp.microsoft.com in /peropsys/WFW/tcpip/vxdbeta - the March beta didn't
- quite do the ODI thing correctly). That should do it. I had tried other winsock
- and TCP/IP stacks and IPX with A LOT of non-working configurations -
- seems they usually both want to be lanabase=0 (lana=0?) (the default for
- old stuff) and the conflict crashes both!! I'm not sure, but I think the above
- even allowed WFW's IPX/SPX with NetBIOS - but I'd highly recommend
- just using NetBEUI if you can - it REALLY slowed down all my WFW net
- stuff when IPX was enabled, without it NetBEUI blazes.
- Good Luck
