Installation
============
NetWare Client
--------------
INSTALL will display an error screen and cease to continue if it did not
find the NetWare Client ODI drivers. Your computer MUST have ODI based
NetWare client software already installed and "loaded" in order to run the
INSTALL program.
AUTOEXEC.BAT
------------
A command is added by the INSTALL program to call the LANWP.BAT file at the
end of the AUTOEXEC.BAT. The LANWP.BAT file loads the TCP/IP networking
software. However, if the original AUTOEXEC.BAT invokes another batch
file by referencing its name as a command instead of using 'CALL batch_file'
then the added command 'CALL c:\lanwp.bat' will not be executed, the original
batch file invokation has to be modified to use 'CALL'.
Software Updates
================
TCPIP
-----
INSTALL configures 8 LSL packet buffers with 1500 bytes in size in NET.CFG
file, however, there are network drivers (e.g. Token Ring and others) which
can send and receive packets larger than 1500 bytes. If the message "WARNING:
LSL buffer size too small (minimum: nnnn bytes)" is displayed when loading
TCPIP.EXE, it is recommended that you increase the buffer size to nnnn only
if problems are encountered using the default size (1500).
SLIP_PPP
--------
The SLIP_PPP driver supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) with
upper case login name and password only. All lower case name and password
specified in the AUTHEN parameter in NET.CFG file are converted into
upper case.
The following table provides NET.CFG configuration settings for various
methods of dialing from a SLIP_PPP client to a SLIP/PPP router, dial-up
service, or server/workstation. If the remote host requires the dial-in
client to provide name and password for login before bringing up the
SLIP/PPP connection, use the second, third, or forth configuration from
the table.
