1. Copy all of the files in SYS:SYSTEM\NRN to the C:\NRN subdirectory
on all of the remote PC's hard drives.
2. Download all the following files from NetWire (CompuServe):
A. VLMUP1.EXE from NOVFILES
B. LG4084.EXE from NOVLIB (required even with NetWare 3 server)
Note: NetWare Connect works with either standard NetWare client (DOS
or MS-Windows). In either case, the newest version of your preferred
client should be used. Therefore, if you will be using the MS-Windows
client, also download WINDR1.EXE and NWDLL1.EXE from NOVFILES.
3. Copy the following files in VLMUP1 to the C:\NRN directory of the
PC's hard drive.
BIND.VLM
DOSRQSTR.MSG
IPXODI.MSG
IPXNCP.VLM
NETX.VLM
NDS.VLM
NWP.VLM
PRINT.VLM
RSA.VLM
SECURITY.VLM
TRAN.VLM
IPXODI.COM
VLM.EXE
CONN.VLM
REDIR.VLM
FIO.VLM
AUTO.VLM
GENERAL.VLM
4. Copy the following files in LG4084 to your NetWare Connect client
directory: (C:\NRN)
LOGIN.EXE 367847 6-01-94
LOGIN.MSG 12086 4-13-94
5. Create a directory on the local PC's hard drive called NWCWIN.
6. Copy all the files in NWCWIN.EXE to the C:\NWCWIN directory on
each of the local PC's.
7. Use MS-Windows file manager to run SETUP.EXE found in C:\NWCWIN.
8. If you are installing on a non LAN PC (Laptop or other remote
workstation), installation is now complete. If you are installing on
a NetWare Workstation, also follow the remaining steps.
9. Tell Setup where NET.CFG is.
You may wish to keep the NetWare Connect NRN client software in a
directory called C:\NRN in order to keep it separate from the NetWare
workstation's client software. (i.e. NETX, VLMS).
10. Check to see that VIPX.386 and VNRN.386 were copied to your
MS-Windows\system directory.
11. Check SYSTEM.INI to make sure that the following was added to the
386 ENH section: device=vnrn.386
12. If you put a MaxComPort=0 or COMIrq=-1 statement in the 386enh of
section of SYSTEM.INI for the benefit of NetWare Connect, you may now
remove it. It is no longer required.
13. Check your SYSTEM.INI for 3rd party VCD drivers installed by third
party MS-Windows based communication applications. You may have to
REM them out to get the this patch to work. The example below shows
the PC Anywhere for MS-Windows driver remarked out.
[386 ENH]
;device=AW5VCD.386
Your third party communications application should still be able to
use the comm ports.
14. Add the line "LastDrive=Z" to the client's CONFIG.SYS (if it is
not already present). This is required by the VLMs.
15. NET.CFG
Use a text editor to check and change NET.CFG as follows:
A. Check to make certain the line MemPool 500 is in the link
support area.
B. Netware Protocol
a. If a NetWare 3 server, add the following line to NET.CFG:
Netware Protocol = Bind
b. If a NetWare 4 server, add the following line to NET.CFG:
Netware Protocol = NDS
c. If you will be connecting to both NetWare 3 and NetWare
servers add the following line to NET.CFG, instead:
NetWare Protocol = Bind/NDS
C. Add the line Preferred Server=YYYY (where YYYY is the name of
the Preferred Server.)
*** The following is an example NET.CFG file for a laptop's C:\NRN
sub-directory.***
max tasks=60
file handles=100
ipx sockets=50
spx connections=60
show dots= ON
Netware DOS requester
FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F
USE DEFAULTS = OFF
Netware Protocol=Bind
VLM = CONN.VLM
VLM = IPXNCP.VLM
VLM = TRAN.VLM
VLM = SECURITY.VLM
VLM = NDS.VLM
VLM = BIND
VLM = NWP.VLM
VLM = FIO.VLM
VLM = GENERAL.VLM
VLM = REDIR.VLM
VLM = PRINT.VLM

16. To use NRN from within MS-Windows:
A. Run NVLM.BAT from the C:\NRN directory. (NVLM.BAT is a batch
file that loads LSL, NRN, IPXODI and VLM in the proper order.
B. Run MS-Windows.
C. Open a DOS-Box and run DIALCON.
D. You will see the "Select Operation" screen. Hit <enter> at
Manage Connection.
E. Hit F10 to dial.
G. Login to the server.
Example: Login YOURSERVER\supervisor.
(NOTE: make certain LOGIN.EXE is run from the workstation's
drive and that it is the updated LOGIN file.)
* You can now access server based data and applications while
within MS-Windows. You will be able to remain connected while:
- exiting and re-entering the DOS-Box.
- exiting and re-entering MS-Windows.
- using other applications, including communications
applications.
H. To log out, open a DOS-Box and Logout.
I. To hang up, run DIALCON, and change OPERATION to hangup.
J. Hit F10.
K. Exit back to MS-Windows.
