- Running NetWare Lite^ V1.1 SERVER and CLIENT under OS/2^ 2.X
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Requirement 1:
- --------------
-
- Getting SERVER and CLIENT to work under OS/2^ requires that the
- Novell^ NetWare^ REQUESTER for OS/2^ 2.X be installed. Besides the
- Requester, the update the for Requester called NSD201.ZIP MUST also
- be installed on the OS/2^ system.
-
- Requirement 2:
- --------------
-
- SERVER and CLIENT must be started from a unique DOS SESSION and
- environment. The DOS SESSION that SERVER and CLIENT must be
- started under has to be run from an image file; this image file is
- created from a bootable DOS diskette. The image file is created by
- using the OS/2^ utility called VMDISK.EXE located in the \OS2\MDOS
- subdirectory. This DOS diskette should also contain the following
- files:
- COMMAND.COM -- from the DOS that created the boot disk.
- DOSVIPX.SYS -- from the NetWare subdirectory created by the
- Requester.
- FSFILTER.SYS -- from the \OS2\MDOS subdirectory created by OS/2^
- AUTOEXEC.BAT -- set up like shown in EXAMPLE 1.
- CONFIG.SYS -- set up like shown in EXAMPLE 2.
-
- Requirement 3:
- --------------
-
- The DOS SESSION's "DOS settings" should be set up as follows:
-
- DOS COMMAND SETTING

- *10. DOS_RMSIZE 640
- 11. DOS_SHELL EMPTY
- 12. DOS_STARTUP_DRIVE C:\DOS.IMG
- (NOTE: The drive letter and Image file name should be that
- you called it and where you put the image file)

- *28. KBD_BUFFER_EXTEND ON
- *29. KBD_CTRL_BYOPASS NONE
- *30. KBD_RATE_LOCK OFF

- (NOTE: You may need to set this option if your network board
- has a memory address that needs to be excluded)
- *32. MEM_INCLUDE_REGION EMPTY

- 34. NetWare_RESOURCES NONE
- *35. PRINT_TIMEOUT 15
- *36. VIDEO_FASTPASTE OFF

- * OS/2^ DOS SESSION's default settings
-
- Example 1:
- ----------
-
- The CONFIG.SYS of the DOS SESSION should be as follows:
-
- DEVICE=FSFILTER.SYS
- SHELL=COMMAND.COM /p /e:512
- FILES=50
- BUFFERS=20
- DEVICE=DOSVLPX.SYS
- LASTDRIVE=X
- (NOTE: X is the letter you want, as long as it is not Z)
-
-
- Example 2:
- ----------
-
- The AUTOEXEC.BAT of the DOS SESSION should be as follows:
-
- PROMPT $p$g
- PATH C:\DRDOS;C:\NWLITE;
- SHARE
- C:\NWLITE\SERVER.EXE
- C:\NWLITE\CLIENT.EXE
-
- Example 3:
- ----------
-
- The NET.CFG is in the NWLITE subdirectory on the C: drive if NetWare
- Lite^ was set up as a server or client/server. If would be found on
- some other drive letter possibly if NetWare Lite^ was set up as a
- client only.
-
- The parameters in the NET.CFG below will not be used in the
- OS/2-NetWare Lite^ set up; however, if other paramters are needed
- for NetWare Lite specific functions, then the following NET.CFG
- would get used:
-
- #Setup the NE2000 board
- Link driver NE2000
- INT 5
- PORT 3000
-
- Example 4:
- ----------
-
- The NET.CFG in the OS/2^ 2.X root directory. This is used by the
- requester when OS/2^ is booting up to set up the netword board and
- its invornment. If network level or driver level parameters are to
- be added, then they should be added to the following NET.CFG file:
-
- Link Driver NE2000
- INT 5
- PORT 300
- Protocol Stack IPX
- SOCKETS 100
-
- Example 5:
- ----------
-
- The CONFIG.SYS of the OS/2^ 2.X environment
-
- The secion of the NetWare^ Requester was added by the Requester
- Installation process.
-
- The lines that have "<<<< NEED CHANGING" by them, should have the
- REMARKing change made to then if this is a NetWare Lite^ network
- only. If big NetWare^ is involved, then they should be left
- unREMARKed.

-
- NOTE: The setup and settings listed above in one way that they NetWare
- Lite^ V1.1 and OS/2^ 2.X have worked together. These settings may be
- adjusted further for better optimization depending on the system
- configuration being used.
-
- If the Netware Lite SERVER.EXE is run as shown in Example 2 above, this
- may cause a multiple NetWare Lite^ server environment to be slower in
- responding during LOGINs, MAPs, CAPTUREs, and other similar circumstances
- because the NetWare Lite^ server under OS/2^ is on a time clice. This
- means that when a NetWare Lite^ command is executed, other NetWare Lite^
- servers may need to respond and the whole network may have to wait for
- the NetWare Lite^ server running under OS/2^ to respond.
-
- If only the NetWare Lite^ CLIENT.EXE is run, there should be no network
- slow down because this would only be a client machine accessing other
- servers on the network eliminating the slow down of clients accessing it
- as a server.
-
- This does not provided GLOBAL support to the OS/2^ sessions.
