- --- How to make Netware and TCP/IP Coexist ---
-
- NOTE: Remember to make a backup of your config.sys before you start. It would
- also be wise to put this on a floppy along with these instructions in case
- something goes wrong (and it will). You also might want to make a hardcopy
- of the instructions, and sample files for reference during installation.
-
-
- This file attempts to explain how to install both the Netware Requester
- for OS/2 and IBM's TCP/IP for OS/2 on a typical machine. In this case
- a typical machine is defined as an ISA bus machine with a standard
- ethernet card.
-
- This explanation also assumes you will be using the odi drivers as the
- base drivers. See the "tcpnet.txt" file for using ndis drivers as the base
- drivers.
-
- 1. Netware Requester
-
- First obtain the Netware Requester for OS/2. The current version
- as of this writing is 2.1. The two main sources for this are:
-
- ftp-os2.cdrom.com
- ->pub/os2/2_x/network
-
- ftp.novell.com
- ->pub/novfiles/client.kit/os2/files
-
- The files are:
-
- wsos21.zip
- wsos22.zip
- wsdrv1.zip
- os2ut1.zip
- os2dc1.zip
-
- (Note that on the novell ftp site, these files will be self-extracting zip files with
- a .exe extension.)
-
- Install the Netware Requester following the install program on disk 1 of the requester.
- If you're installing on a 3.11 or 3.12 Netware network, you'll want to add this line
- to your net.cfg under the Netware Requester section:
-
- directory services off
-
- (Note: If you connect to a 4.01 server, don't include this line.)
-
- My personal suggestion is also to include the following in your config.sys to
- log you in to the Novell server. Add this line where you have substituted your
- netware path, server name, and user name:
-
- CALL=c:\lan\netware\login.exe utk_apac/hethmon
-
- This will log you in to the server before your startup folder starts. This allows you
- to put your network apps in the startup folder and have the drive mappings available
- when they look for them. In my case, I use the windows version of QuickMail which
- has to have the drive mappings available before it will start correctly.
-
- At this point, you should reboot and verify that the Netware Requester works. It
- might also be a good idea to make a backup of your config.sys in case the tcp/ip
- installation breaks it.
-
-
- 2. TCP/IP
-
- Now the harder part. Using the tcp/ip install program, go ahead and go through it
- all. The question here is whether you should use laps. In my situation, I don't think it
- helped at all. If you have some of the hardware listed in the tcp/ip manual, it might
- help to use it. What it appears to do is write your protocol.ini file. I would suggest
- running it as part of the tcp/ip install and not prior to.
-
- Anyway, follow the instructions and get through the install. Don't reboot at the end!!!!
-
- REMEMBER, DON'T REBOOT WHEN YOU FINISH!!!!!!!!!
-
- 3. Coexistence
-
- Now the fun part. What we're going to do is configure things where Novell's odi
- drivers control the physical card and tcp/ip talks to them. The first part is to
- edit the config.sys file. Open the config.sys file with your favorite text editor.
- Find where the tcp/ip statements have been inserted. Take the group of tcp/ip
- statements and put them BEFORE the netware statements. Next find where
- the IBM mac driver is located in the config.sys file. It will look something
- like this:
-
- DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\MACS\MACWD.OS2
-
- The driver name may be different, but the directories should be the same, the install
- program doesn't give an option to change them. Comment out this line with rem.
-
- Now go to the requester section and locate your device statement for your card. It
- should be similiar to this:
-
- DEVICE=C:\LAN\NETWARE\SMC8000.SYS
-
- Your driver name may be different. Just under this line, add the following:
-
- DEVICE=C:\LAN\NETWARE\ODINSUP.SYS
-
- This line loads the odi drivers which allow sharing of your ethernet card. This
- completes modifying the config.sys file.
-
- Next find the net.cfg file. There are several things to add in here. First find your
- Link Driver section. It should look something like this:
-
- Link Driver SMC8000
- Port 280 10
- Mem d000 2000/10
- Int 5
- Frame Ethernet_II
- Frame Ethernet_802.3
- Frame Ethernet_802.2
- Frame Ethernet_SNAP
- Protocol IPX 0 Ethernet_802.3
- Protocol IP 800 Ethernet_II
- Protocol ARP 806 Ethernet_II
- Protocol RARP 8035 Ethernet_II
-
- The important thing to do to this section is to enable ALL FOUR frame types.
- The odinsup driver needs them all. Put what you actually need first, though I
- don't think it matters. In my case, I use Ethernet_II and Ethernet_802.3.
-
- Next, we need some protocol sections:
-
- Protocol ODINSUP
- Bind SMC8000
- Protocol Stack IPX
- Bind SMC8000
- Sockets 128
- Protocol TCPIP
- Bind SMC8000
- ip_address 128.169.15.22
- ip_router 128.169.12.1
- tcp_sockets 8
- udp_sockets 8
- raw_sockets 1
-
- These need to be added/modified as necessary. The general idea here is to bind
- your driver to all of the protocols you will be running.
-
- Finally, we're going to modify the protocol.ini file found in the \ibmcom directory.
- Here's mine in entirety:
-
- [PROT_MAN]
-
- DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
-
- [IBMLXCFG]
-
- TCPIP_nif = TCPIP.nif
-
- [TCPIP_nif]
-
- DriverName = TCPIP$
- Bindings = SMC8000
-
- The main point here is to bind the TCPIP_nif to your card. In my case the
- SMC8000.
-
- At this point, you should be ready to reboot and enjoy.
-
- 4. After the Reboot
-
- The thing to do now is to configure your tcp/ip settings. Make sure that your ip address,
- subnet, default router, and broadcast address are correct.
-
- If you have suggestions or additions to this file, please mail them to me. All will
- be welcome.
