  To enable long filename support on NetWare 3.11 servers:
   1. Copy PATCHMAN.NLM, SHORTAFX.NLM, and
       OS2OPNFX.NLM from the ADMIN\PATCHES\NW311
       folder on the Client 32 CD-ROM, or from the PATCHES\NW311
       folder on the Admin1, diskette to the SYS:\SYSTEM folder on
       the server.
   2. Load the OS/2 name space.
       At the server console prompt, enter
         LOAD OS2.NAM
   3. Load the patches.
       At the server console prompt, enter
         LOAD PATCHMAN
         LOAD SHORTAFX
         LOAD OS2OPNFX
   4. Add the OS/2 name space to the server volumes.
       At the server console prompt, enter
         ADD NAME SPACE OS2 TO VOLUME <volume>
   5. Add the load commands for the patches to the
       AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

  NOTES
  PM410.NLM and PATCHMAN.NLM are the server patch
  managers.

  1.3 Name Space Errors on 3.1x Servers

  On NetWare 3.1x servers, the following message might be
  displayed on the server console:

  GetOriginalNameSpace could not find the originating name space.
  The DOS name space was assumed. You should run VRepair to fix this!

  If this message is displayed under both of the following
  circumstances,  no harm or corruption has occurred to the name
  space and the message can be ignored:

  * The OS/2 name space is loaded on the volume.
  * On a workstation running NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95,
     a user displayed the "NetWare Folder" tab on the volume
     property sheet, which is accessible from Network Neighborhood
     and Windows Explorer.

2.0 Primary Documentation Is Help

The help files for Client 32 contain information on installing,
configuring, using, understanding, and troubleshooting Client
32. They are the primary documentation. To see the Client 32
help, open the SETUPNW.HLP file. (For example, on a Windows
95 workstation, choose "Start," choose "Run," and then enter
C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\SETUPNW.HLP.) All the Client 32
help information is accessible from the SETUPNW.HLP file.

3.0 Upgrading from a Beta Version of Client 32

  3.1 Upgrading Permanent Mappings and Network Printers

  The naming format for NDS has changed. If you have permanent
  drive mappings or network printers that you set up using the
  Windows 95 graphical interface and they have NDS names,
  remap the drives and set up the network printers again.

  Drives mapped and printers captured in login scripts are not
  affected by this change.

  3.2 Dynamic Parameter Range Errors

  When upgrading from beta versions of Client 32, some errors
  might be displayed when viewing or changing some of the
  dynamic parameters on the "Advanced Settings" property page.
  This only occurs if you choose "Customize" at the end of Setup.
  These dynamic parameters should be viewed or changed
  only after rebooting the workstation.

4.0 Compatibility Issues

  4.1 NetWare Login Program CTL3D32.DLL Requirement

  The NetWare Login program (LOGINW95.EXE) requires
  the version of the CTL3D32.DLL file that is shipped with
  Client 32. Client 32 installs CTL3D32.DLL in the Windows
  System folder (typically, C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM).

  If the NetWare Login program is not working properly,
  ensure that the CTL3D32.DLL file is the correct version
  (26,624 bytes, 9/16/95, 0:30:18 AM). If the version is not
  correct, reinstall Client 32 or copy CTL3D32.DLL from
  the ENGLISH folder of the CD-ROM to the Windows
  System folder on the workstation.

  4.2 NetWare 2.2 Compatibility Issues

  There are known issues using Briefcase, Explorer, and Network
  Neighborhood.  Basic login and utilities are supported for
  NetWare 2.2.

  4.3 Named Pipes Support

  Named Pipes support is available only through the components
  provided by Windows 95. DOSNP.EXE is not supported under
  Windows 95.

  4.4 NetBIOS Support

  NetBIOS applications are supported through the components
  provided by Windows 95. You must enable this component
  through the properties of the "IPX/SPX-compatible Protocol."
  Novell's NETBIOS.EXE cannot be used with Client 32 under
  Windows 95.

5.0 Installation Issues

  5.1 Cannot Install from Path with Long Filename

  The Client 32 installation program (SETUP.EXE) cannot be
  run successfully from a path that includes a folder or folders
  with a long filename.

  5.2 Cannot Install from Path with Directory Map Object

  The Windows 95 install services does not support Directory Map
  objects. When running the Client 32 installation program
  (SETUP.EXE), if you get a File Copy Error and the path given in
  the message is in UNC format with a Directory Map object in it
  (such as \\Tree1\.MapObject.OrgUnit.Org\Dir1\setupnw.hlp),
  map a drive to the folder that has the file. Then, rerun
  SETUP.EXE.

  5.3 Hardware Profiles and Updating ODI Drivers

  The process of updating an ODI driver during SETUP.EXE performs
  an install of the ODI driver to update the registry and copy the
  latest LAN driver.  When a driver is installed, the driver is
  marked as active for all hardware profiles.  Previous hardware
  profiles are not maintained.

  If, for example, the workstation running SETUP.EXE currently
  has an adapter installed for the docking station hardware profile
  and a PC Card installed for the undocked hardware profile, upon
  completion of SETUP.EXE both the docking station adapter
  and the PC Card will be marked as active for both the docked and
  undocked hardware profiles.  Using the "Device Manager" tab of the
  System control panel, the network adapters can be associated with
  the desired hardware profiles.

  5.4 Existing OEM.CNT File Overwritten

  If there is an OEM.CNT file in the Windows Help folder
  (typically, C:\WINDOWS\HELP) on your workstation, it will be
  overwritten during Client 32 installation.

  To preserve, your existing OEM.CNT file, copy or rename it.
  Then run Client 32 installation (SETUP.EXE). After Client 32 is
  installed, merge the Client 32 OEM.CNT file with the file that
  you copied or renamed.

  5.5 Upgrading from the VLM NetWare Client

  If Client 32 installation (SETUP.EXE) generates the error message
  "Novell NetWare Client 32 cannot be installed together with Client
  for NetWare Networks," rerun SETUP.EXE.

  5.6 Corrections to Sample MSBATCH.INF File

  The sample MSBATCH.INF file, in the
  ADMIN\BATCH95\NLS\ENGLISH folder on the Client 32
  CD-ROM, has some incorrect settings under the [NWIP.REG]
  section.

  * NWIP_DOMAIN_NAME should be NWIP DOMAIN NAME
  * AutoRetry_Secs should be AutoRetry Secs
  * NSQ_BROADCAST should be NSQ BROADCAST

6.0 General Issues

  6.1 Windows 95 Installation Services

  The Windows 95 install services does not support Directory Map
  objects. When installing an application, if you get a File Copy
  Error and the path given in the message is in UNC format with a
  Directory Map object in it (such as
  \\Tree1\.MapObject.OrgUnit.Org\Dir1\file.txt), map a drive to the
  folder that has the file. Then, reinstall the application.

  6.2 Avoid Multi-Tasking while Logging In

  Although Windows 95 allows you to perform other tasks while
  Client 32 processes a login script, you should avoid doing so.
  For example, opening Network Neighborhood while Client 32
  is processing a login script causes the Multi-Provider Router
  (MPR.EXE) to page fault.

  6.3 Changing File and Folder Attributes

  If you change a file or folder attribute on the "NetWare File" or
  "NetWare Folder" tab and then choose "Apply," that attribute cannot
  be changed using the "General" tab unless you close and reopen
  "File" or "Folder Properties."

  For example, if you check the "Read-only" check box on the
  "NetWare File" tab and then choose "Apply" and then go to the
  "General" tab, unchecking the "Read-only" check box and then
  choosing "Apply" or "OK" does not reset the Read-only attribute.

  To avoid this situation, it is recommended that the "NetWare File"
  or "NetWare Folder" tabs be used whenever marking file or
  folder attributes on a NetWare volume.

7.0 Printing Issues

  7.1 NPRINTER

  The NetWare 4 NPRINTER or  NetWare 3 RPRINTER terminate-
  and-stay-resident (TSR) programs do not work under Windows
  95.

  7.2 Print Capture on Windows 95

  Windows 95 does not require local ports to be captured to send
  print jobs to a network printer (deviceless printing). You can
  send print jobs to an LPT port or to a network printer device.
  Capture commands are global in Windows 95, but the settings
  for captured ports are separate from the settings for network
  printer devices.

  7.3 NDS Print Queues

  NDS print queues are not displayed in the browse dialog boxes
  for the Add Printer Wizard. To install a printer from an NDS
  print queue, find the queue using Network Neighborhood or
  Explorer. Double-click the print queue icon and use the Add
  Printer Wizard to install the printer on your computer.

  Microsoft offers a file (SHELLUPD.EXE) that displays NDS
  print queues in Windows 95 browse dialog boxes. You can
  download the file from these Internet sites:

  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/software/shellupd.htm
  ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/peropsys/Win_News/FreeSoftware/shellupd.exe

  7.4 HP JetAdmin Support

  The HP JetAdmin (NetWare Support) service contains calls to the
  registry that exist only when the Microsoft NetWare Client is
  loaded. If you want to use HP JetAdmin with Client 32, install
  JetAdmin for Windows 3.x on your Windows 95 computer.

8.0 ODI and NDIS LAN Driver Issues

See SETUPNW.HLP for a list of ODI LAN drivers included in this
release. The list of 32-bit, third-party LAN drivers changed after
the help was completed. The 32-bit, third-party LAN drivers
included in this release are:

ACC41.LAN
PCI40.LAN

  8.1 Using LAN Drivers Other Than Those Included with This Release

  If you have a LAN driver for your LAN adapter that is newer
  than the one included in this release, you can install the driver
  during Client 32 Setup. You can also update the driver after
  Client 32 is installed.

  To install a third-party ODI LAN driver during Setup:
  1. Copy the driver to the \ENGLISH folder (or the install folder
      you created) before installing Client 32.
  2. Follow the directions in the next section for installing
      third-party LAN drivers.

  To update a LAN driver after installing Client 32:
  1. Do either of the following:
     * For 32-bit (*.LAN) drivers, copy the new driver to the client
       computer's NOVELL\CLIENT32 folder.
     * For a 16-bit (*.COM) driver, copy the new driver to the
        client computer's NOVELL\NWCLIENT folder.
  2. Follow the directions in the next section for installing
      third-party LAN drivers.

  8.2 Installing 3rd-Party LAN Drivers

  If you want to use an ODI LAN driver from a vendor other than
  Novell, you need to specify the driver in the Client 32 Setup
  initialization file.

  If you have a newer driver than the one provided with this
  release, copy all the files from the ENGLISH folder on the
  Client 32 CD-ROM to a Client 32 install folder on your hard
  disk or on a network drive and copy the driver to this install
  folder.

  To install a third-party ODI LAN driver:
  1. Before running Client 32 Setup, open NWSETUP.INI (in the
      install folder) in a text editor.
  2. Search for the .INF file that corresponds to LAN driver you want
      to use. The .INF files for third-party LAN drivers are named
      ODIxxxx.INF, where "xxxx" is the manufacturer of the network
      adapter. For example, ODI3COM.INF.
  3. Delete the semicolon at the front of the line.
  4. Save your changes and exit the editor.
  5. Run Client 32 Setup.

  8.3 Do Not Remove Novell ODINSUP

  Do not remove Novell ODINSUP from the Network control panel,
  unless you know the ODI adapter it is bound to. Removing Novell
  ODINSUP also removes NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95 if
  there is only one adapter in use.

  8.4 16-bit ODI Driver Limitations

  Windows 95 might remove support for 16-bit drivers if you remove
  or update a 16-bit driver. If you have another LAN adapter using a
  16-bit driver, the driver might fail to load after you boot the
  computer.

  For example, if your computer has two adapters using 16-bit ODI
  drivers, and you switch one of the LAN adapters to use a 32-bit
  driver, the remaining 16-bit driver might not load.

  To correct this problem, open the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and add
  lines to load LSL.COM and NESL.COM. Add these lines before
  the line that loads the 16-bit driver. For example:

    LSL.COM
    NESL.COM
    N16ODI.COM
    NE2000.COM

  If two or more adapters use the same 16-bit ODI driver,
  Windows 95 loads the driver from AUTOEXEC.BAT only once.
  You should edit AUTOEXEC.BAT and copy the driver load
  command so that AUTOEXEC.BAT loads the driver once for
  each adapter.

  8.5 LAN Drivers That Don't Support INT 9

  LAN drivers that don't support interrupt 9 but do support
  interrupt 2 will fail to load and initialize if their "Interrupt
  (IRQ)" is set to 9/2 on the "Resources" tab of the property
  sheet for the LAN driver's network adapter. If this happens,
  the "Novell NetWare Login" dialog box is not displayed
  because network connections cannot be established if the
  LAN driver doesn't successfully load.

  In this event, change the "Interrupt (IRQ)" setting to 2, by
  doing the following:

  1. Add a new network adapter using the Network control
      panel.
  2. Set the "Interrupt (IRQ)" setting on the "Resources" tab
      to 2.
  3. Remove the old network adapter, which had "Interrupt
      (IRQ)" set to 9/2.


  8.6 Large Packet Sizes with 16-bit ODI Token-Ring Drivers

  Although token-ring networks can operate with a packet size of
  17954 bytes, the initial release of Client 32 will only support
  packet sizes up to 10240 bytes for 16-bit ODI token-ring drivers.

  NOTE: Novell has found that the optimum packet size is
  approximately 4222 bytes (the default for NTR2000.COM).

  To specify the packet size, set the MAX FRAME SIZE
  parameter in the NOVELL\NWCLIENT\NET.CFG file to
  a value from 638 to 10240. For example:

  LINK DRIVER NTR2000
       MAX FRAME SIZE 2174

  Also, set "Link Support Layer Max Buffer Size," which is
  on the "Advanced Settings" tab of "Novell NetWare Client 32
  Properties," to a value greater than or equal to the value of
  MAX FRAME SIZE.  For more information about the
  "Link Support Layer Max Buffer Size" parameter, see the
  NWCFG95.HLP file.

9.0 International Issues

  9.1 Text-Mode Utilities Might Not Display Correctly

  Text-mode utilities (such as FILER, PCONSOLE, and NETADMIN)
  might not display correctly for Korea, China, and Taiwan.  The
  overlay files needed to correct this problem will be provided
  in a future release.

  9.2 Korean Unicode Files

  The ISO standards organization has not made final decisions
  about Korean Unicode mapping.  Because of this, Novell has
  decided not to include a Unicode mapping table with this
  release of Client 32.  Use the information in section 9.3
  to copy the files for Korean codepage 949.  Novell will make
  a Korean Unicode mapping table available as soon as possible.

  9.3 Windows 95 Codepages Supported

  The following language codepages are supported in Novell
  Client 32:

   874    Thai
   932    Japanese
   936    Chinese Simplified
   950    Chinese Traditional
  1250   Eastern Europe
  1251   Cyrillic
  1252   English and Western Europe
  1253   Greek
  1254   Turkish
  1255   Hebrew
  1256   Arabic
  1257   Estonian, Latvian

  If you are using another version of Windows 95, you might see
  the following message during startup where "<cc>" is your
  country code and "<cp>" is your codepage:

      NWDRV-3.00.30: Initialization of the Unicode tables failed
      Country id = <cc> and code page = <cp>
      All NetWare Directory Services functions are disabled.

  If your system uses a codepage that is not yet supported,
  copy the following files from the Client 32 CD-ROM's
  ENGLISH folder to both the \NOVELL\NLS and \WINDOWS\NLS
  folders:

    COPY UNI_000.001 UNI_<cp>.001
    COPY 000_UNI.001 <cp>_UNI.001

  These Unicode mapping tables will restrict object naming to ASCII
  characters 0x20 through 0x7E (except 0x5C) for old applications
  that use NETWARE.DRV.  The following characters are the ASCII
  characters that can be used:

     Backspace Tab Line-Feed Carriage-Return Space
     ! " # $ % &   ( ) * + , - . /
     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; < = > ?
     @ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O
     P Q R S T U V W X Y Z [   ] ^ _
     ` a b c d e f g h I j k l m n o
     p q r s t u v w x y z { | } ~

  9.4 Older Applications

  In some cases you might see the message in section 9.3 for existing
  applications that are not installed on the server.  In this case,
  place SYS:PUBLIC into your PATH or copy the four (4) .<cc>
  files for your country code from the server to your \WINDOWS\NLS
  directory. If your country code is 44, then copy *.044 to
  \WINDOWS\NLS from the server SYS:LOGIN\NLS directory.

10.0 Troubleshooting

  10.1 Resolving Application Communication Problems

  Complete the following steps if your IPX/SPX applications
  are not functioning:

  1. Determine the frame type used for IPX communications at your
      site either by asking your network manager or by examining a
      NET.CFG file on another computer.
  2. Select "Network" from the "Control Panel" and double-click
      "IPX 32-bit Protocol for Novell Client 32."
  3. Select the "Advanced IPX" page.
  4. Check "Primary logical board" and select a frame type to match
      the frame type used on your network. Type a frame type name
      if the frame type that you need is not listed.
  5. Click "OK" until you exit the "Network" dialog box.
  6. Restart your computer and try running the application again.

  10.2 Changing CDs

  If you have a CD mounted on a server and someone dismounts the CD
  and mounts a new one, you won't see the newly mounted CD in the
  Network Neighborhood unless you detach the server and reattach. If
  you turn caching off by setting "File Cache Level" to 0, you won't
  have this problem.  For more information about the "File Cache
  Level" parameter, see the NWCFG95.HLP file.

  10.3 Refreshing the Windows Explorer Display

  To refresh the Windows Explorer display, press <F5>. Changes to files
  and folders outside the Windows Explorer might not be shown in the
  Windows Explorer until you refresh the display.  Such changes include
  creating, copying, moving, deleting, and renaming.

  10.4 Long Filenames Might Be Truncated

  If you move a file with a long filename to a network folder that
  has a long name using the DOS-compatible names for each, the
  filename is truncated. For example, if there is a
  LONGFILENAME.TXT file and a LONGFOLDERNAME folder,
  the following command would result in the filename being
  truncated to LONGFILE.TXT:

     MOVE  LONGFI~1.TXT  LONGFOLD

  You can move the file without having its name truncated by
  using the long filenames of the file or folder.
