IBM DLR and NOVELL CLIENT coexistence 1/27/94
CONSIDERATIONS FOR LOADING DLR AND
NOVELL CLIENT CONCURRENTLY USING ODI AND NETX
DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS:
Can an IBM DOS LAN Requester and a Novell Client
coexist?
SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION:
Adjust the LASTDRIVE statement and the DXMT0MOD.SYS
driver in the CONFIG.SYS, create a NET.CFG file
in the same subdirectory as the Novell files, and
load DLR before the Novell client.
DETAILS OF RESOLUTION:
(Assumes DOS 5.0 or higher--for memory management--
and Novell NETX Version 3.26 or higher.)
The following outlines the prime considerations in
loading IBM's DOS LAN Requester (DLR) and Novell's
Client concurrently on a PC DOS workstation:
1. The LASTDRIVE statement in the CONFIG.SYS must
be set to allow the Novell drives to be assigned
after the local and DLR assignments.
Example: LASTDRIVE=K
2. The ES parameter for the DXMT0MOD.SYS driver (in
the CONFIG.SYS) must be set high enough to allow
the Novell driver access to the token ring.
Example: ES=6 allows the 2 SAPs for DLR
plus 4 SAPS for the Novell.
(Novell may require only 1 SAP.)
3. Create a NET.CFG file in the same directory as the
Novell files.
Example:
NOTE: The lines must be indented at least
three spaces. (Do not use a tab;
when parsed, it only shows one space.)

LINK DRIVER LANSUP
FRAME TOKEN-RING
FRAME TOKEN-RING_SNAP
SAPS 4
4. The DOS LAN Requester must be loaded before the
Novell Requester code.
Following are examples of the CONFIG.SYS, DOSLAN.INI,
and AUTOEXEC.BAT.
