- you will need to update your files with the files in WINDRx.EXE and
- NWDLLx.EXE, (were x is the current rev), If you have NOT installed the client

- ===============================================================
- SHARED WINDOWS NOTE:
-
- If NETX clients and VLMS clients are accessing the same shared windows files,
- then complete the following
-
- a. Create a subdirectory under the network WINDOWS directory called NETXDRVS
-
- b. Copy the following files from the NETXWIN directory, located below the
- root of the expanded NET33X.EXE file, to the network WINDOWS\NETXDRVS
- directory:
-
- NETWARE.DRV
- NETWARE.HLP
-
- c. Edit the SYSTEM.INI of every user that will be using the NETX.EXE shell.
- Under the [boot] section of the SYSTEM.INI file, there is currently a
- "network.drv=NETWARE.DRV" line. Edit this line to contain the following:
-
- network.drv=*<Shared NetWork Drive Letter>:\windows\netxdrvs\NETWARE.DRV
-
- ===============================================================
- NWUSER NOTE:
-
- NetWare Pop-Up Menu - The Windows 3.0/3.1 NetWare driver v2.02 provides an
- optional pop-up menu that allows you to perform common NetWare-related
- operations. To enable the pop-up menu, add a section to the NETWARE.INI file
- in the Windows directory (you might need to create this file) with the
- following lines:
-
- [Options]
- HotKeyEnabled=1
- NetWareHotKey=117
-
- This maps the pop-up menu to the F6 key. The menu has a button that allows
- you to change the hot-key to any of the twelve Function-keys.
-
-
- ERROR NOTE:
- If you installed the client kit a User Tools Icon is maded. If you double
- click on the User Tools Icon you will get an error "NetWare Driver not loaded.
- Load NETWARE.DRV to run". The User Tools Icon does not work with the
- NETWARE.DRV 2.x. In order to be able to map drives within windows you will
- have follow the above Note on NWUSER.
-
- ===============================================================
- PACKET BURST SERVER NOTE:
-
- If you are using packet burst over a wide area link with NetWare 3.X, download
- PBURST.EXE from Novlib\05, for packet burst over a WAN link.
-
-
- ===============================================================
- PACKET BURST CLIENT NOTE:
-
- BNETX.EXE has been deleted from the client update due to a rare problem which
- can result in data corruption.
-
- For Packet Burst support at the client, the workstation will need to be
- upgraded to the NetWare DOS Requester (VLM) technology. v1.20 VLMs have Packet
- Burst and Large Internet Packets enabled by default.
-
- For v3.12, SFTIII and v4.x NetWare, Packet Burst and Large Internet Packets
- are enabled by default in the O/S, and do not require or use PBURST.NLM. v3.11
- servers need PBURST.NLM loaded to support Packet Burst and LIP NCP calls. To
- turn Large Internet Packets off at a 3.11 server with PBURST.NLM loaded, or at
- a 3.12 or 4.x server, at the server console type: Allow LIP=OFF
-
- If you are using PBURST over a WAN (Wide Area Link), download PBURST.EXE from
- Novlib\05.
-
- November 1993 NetWare Application Notes has an article comparing packet burst
- under BNETX vs VLMs.
-
- December 1993 NetWare Application Notes has an article with a sample packet
- burst configuration for VSAT satellite links.
-
- =========================================================================
- BINDFIX NOTE:
-
- BINDFIX FOR OLDER VERSIONS OF NETWARE
-
- If you are running a version of BINDFIX shipped with NetWare version 2.11 or
- below, you need to update it with the BINDFIX.EXE in BINDFIX.EXE on Compuserv.
- For further information, see Novell Technical Bulletin 255 and 256, dated
- October 26,1989 and November 3, 1989, respectively.
