Select LAN Driver Help 1 of 1
Select the LAN driver for the network board
in your workstation.
If the driver you need isn't on the list,
press <Insert>.
You will then be prompted to insert a diskette
containing the driver and its associated
description file.
WSGEN Introduction Help 1 of 1
WSGEN lets you select and configure a LAN
driver for your DOS workstation. It then
generates the workstation software.
Before running WSGEN, configure and install
the networking hardware for your workstation.
To receive help, press <F1> at any time.
Insert LAN_DRV_??? Diskette Help 1 of 2
To select a driver that is not supplied by
Novell, insert the LAN_DRV_??? diskette in any
drive; then press <Escape>.
The description files on the new disk are read
and inserted into the driver selection list.
Select the driver from this list.
After you select a driver and configuration,
you might be prompted to reinsert the diskette
so the program can read the driver file to
generate the workstation software.
Insert LAN_DRV_??? Diskette Help 2 of 2
Many LAN board manufacturers write their own
drivers to work with NetWare.
They provide the driver file and the driver
description file on a disk labeled
LAN_DRV_??? (the ??? is replaced by a number).
The driver file has an .OBJ extension and
the description file has a .LAN extenstion.
Driver Description Conflict Help 1 of 1
Two LAN driver description files have the
same driver identification number. You can
have only one driver of each type. Choose one.
This usually happens when a new version of the
same driver is encountered while reading the
description files.
(Novell drivers usually have a date string in
parentheses at the end of the description
string so you can find the most recent
driver.)
Select Configuration Help 1 of 1
Select the hardware configuration you will
use with the network board in the workstation.
The hardware configuration must match the
configuration set on the network board.
Generate Workstation Software Help 1 of 2
The software will be generated with the
driver and configuration shown in the box.
If the driver and configuration are correct
for the network board in the workstation,
select Yes.
If the driver or configuration is incorrect,
press <Escape> to return to previous screens
and change your selection, or select No to
exit WSGEN without saving your selections.
Generate Workstation Software Help 2 of 2
When the software is generated, the driver
file is combined with IPX and configured as
specified.
A new IPX.COM file is placed in the WSGEN
directory if you are running on a hard disk or
a network drive.
If you are running the program from a floppy
diskette, IPX.COM is placed on the WSGEN disk.
Generation Complete Help 1 of 1
A new IPX.COM file is now in the WSGEN
directory or on the WSGEN disk.
You need to run IPX.COM and a version of the
NetWare DOS shell in your workstation. (You
may also want to use other files on the WSGEN
disk.)
Refer to the Using the Network manual to
determine which files to transfer to the
workstation boot disk.
Modify the workstation CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT files and create a customized
SHELL.CFG file.
