ISSUE/PROBLEM
Installing ACCPAC
General Information
1. Follow the installation instructions for NetWare Lite v1.0 carefully. Download fax document #235 for help with installing and setting up a network.
2. The installation procedures will create a \NWLITE directory on you C:\ drive. You need to edit a file called STARTNET.BAT which is located in this directory.
3. Look for the line in STARTNET.BAT which loads the program called SHARE. If you are using MSDOS, change that line to the following:
C:\DOS\SHARE /L:250 /F:10000
If you are using DR DOS, change the line to the following, instead:
C:\DRDOS\SHARE /L:250
4. The "FILES=" parameter in your CONFIG.SYS should be set as follows on both the workstations and the server:
FILES=250
5. Obtain the patches that Novell has released for NetWare Lite 1.0. Please acquire fax document #263 for more information.
Installing Windowing System Manager & Lanpak
[Much of the following information was obtained from Computer Associates Limited. A similar document is found on their fax system.]
Insert WSM disk 1 in drive A: and type "A:install" from the root directory you are installing to. Answer "yes" to indicate that you are installing on a network. You will be prompted for additional disks.
Upon completion of the WSM install, you will be taken to the "Install Programs" portion of WSM, at which point you should insert the Lanpak disk and continue.
When the system asks you if you are installing on Novell NetWare answer NO.
This is NOT Novell NetWare. NetWare lite is a peer-to-peer network which means that it is DOS-based--quite different than NetWare 2.X and 3.X. Choose "PC-Lan," or if you wish, choose "other," and type in "NetWare Lite." The preceding is the most critical step. If you have already installed the Lanpak as Novell, you are probably suffering a great deal of "Unable to obtain access to...." messages. Just re-install the Lanpak as above.
