- ------------------------------------------------
-
- RUNNING NETWARE ADMINISTRATOR UNDER OS/2
- NetWare 4.1 does not have a native OS/2 version of NetWare Administrator.
- To run NetWare Administrator under OS/2, use VLM Boot.
-
- See "Installing and Using NetWare VLM Boot" in the online documentation
- or see Chapter 3 of NetWare Client for OS/2 User Guide.
-
-
- LOCATION OF VLM BOOT ICON
- Once you've installed VLM Boot, the icon is located on the OS/2 desktop, not
- in the Novell folder as documented.
-
-
- REINSTALLING NETWARE CLIENT FOR OS/2 AND VLM BOOT
- VLM Boot creates specific environment in order for it to run properly.
-
- If you've installed NetWare Client for OS/2 and VLM Boot and you choose to
- reinstall NetWare Client for OS/2, you must also reinstall VLM Boot to restore
- the proper environment.
-
-
- MAKEDISK.CMD
- To make diskettes of NetWare Client for OS/2 software, type MAKEDISK.CMD
- at the OS/2 command line.
-
-
- SPX SEND TIMEOUT NET.CFG SETTING
- The default and ranges for the SPX SEND TIMEOUT NET.CFG setting in
- NetWare Client for OS/2 version 2.11 have changed to the following:
-
- Default = 500 milliseconds
- Minimum = 100 milliseconds
- Maximum = 6000 milliseconds
-
-
- INT_DURING_IO WIN-OS/2 SETTING
- ISSUE: When launching a network application in a WIN-OS/2 session, OS/2
- appears to launch a DOS box and then return to the WIN-OS/2 session without
- launching the application.
-
- CAUSE: When Global or Private DOS or WIN-OS/2 sessions are running and a
- file open is requested on the network, the request is redirected through NETX.EXE.
- When the INT_DURING_IO WIN-OS/2 setting is set to ON, OS/2 sends read and
- write requests directly to the OS/2 kernel.
-
- The OS/2 kernel is unaware that the file has been opened through the shell. The
- WIN-OS/2 session cannot read the file and fails to load the application.
-
- SOLUTION Do any or all of the following:
- 1. Set the INT_DURING_IO WIN-OS/2 setting to OFF.
- 2. Do not load NETX.EXE in the AUTOEXEC.BAT for that session.
- 3. Run the application locally.
-
-
- VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION WIN-OS/2 SETTING
- ISSUE: If a WIN-OS/2 IPX/SPX application is launched in full screen mode and
- the VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION WIN-OS/2 setting is set to OFF, the
- application loses the SPX connection.
-
- CAUSE: The context switch does not appear to give any proccess time when
- the VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION DOS setting is set to OFF and the
- full screen WIN-OS/2 application is in background. Because of this, no SPX
- Watchdog packets are responded to and the connection is lost.
-
- SOLUTION: Set the VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION DOS or WIN-OS/2
- setting to ON.
