======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

Windows for Workgroups 3.11 supports multiple network drivers and can co-exist
with other network products, such as Beame and Whiteside NFS (BW-NFS), version
3.0c.

After you upgrade to Windows for Workgroups 3.11, your BW-NFS connectivity may
not exist. This article describes procedures to correct this problem that are
based on information provided by Beame and Whiteside. If you want to use ODI
interface (running Novell NetWare, BW-NFS, and Windows for Workgroups 3.11),
contact Beame and Whiteside for configuration recommendations.

MORE INFORMATION
================

CONFIG.SYS File Changes
-----------------------

Make the following changes in your CONFIG.SYS file by either remarking out (with
the REM command) or deleting the lines shown below.

NOTE: The following information assumes that your BW-NFS files are in a directory
called C:\BW30c.

      rem DEVICE=C:\BW30c\NDIS\PROTMAN.DOS
      rem DEVICE=C:\BW30C\NDIS\<ELNK3.DOS>   (where <ELNK3.DOS> is your
                                             specific network card driver)
      rem DEVICE=C:\BW30C\ETHDEV.SYS
      rem DEVICE=C:\BW30C\TCPIP.SYS 1460

SYSTEM.INI File Changes
-----------------------

Verify that your SYSTEM.INI file contains the following lines.

NOTE: You must copy the ETHDEV.SYS and TCPIP.SYS files to the directory specified
on the DEVDIR= line in the [network drivers] section of your SYSTEM.INI file.
The following is an example and assumes that the Windows for Workgroups 3.11
network is also installed:

      [boot]
      network.drv=wfwnet.drv
      secondnet=bwnet.drv

      [boot.description]
      network.drv=Microsoft Windows Network (version 3.11)
      secondnet.drv=BW-NFS Network File System (version 3.0)

      [386Enh]
      network=*vnetbios,*vwc,vnetsup.386,vredir.386,vserver.386
      secondnet=bwdosnet.386,bwredir.386
      TimerCriticalSection=1000
      UniqueDOSPSP=TRUE
      PSPIncrement=5

      [Network]
      winnet=wfwnet/00025100
      multinet=bwnfs

      [network drivers]
      transport=ethdev.sys,tcpip.sys 1460,ndishlp.sys,*netbeui
      devdir=C:\Windows
      LoadRMDrivers=Yes

PROTOCOL.INI File Changes
-------------------------

Verify that your PROTOCOL.INI file located in the Windows directory contains the
following lines.

NOTE: The following is an example that uses a Western Digital Plus Family
Adapter. Your network adapter may differ and may have a different section name
and settings under that section.

   [protocol manager]
   drivername=PROTMAN$

   [WD8003XMAC]                  ;This section varies depending on the
   drivername=MACWD$             ;network adapter used in your system.
   irq=5
   ramaddress=CC00
   iobase=0X280

   [ETHDEV]
   drivername=ETHDEV27
   bindings=WD8003XMAC           ;This line must be identical to the
                                 ;adapter name section in brackets
                                 ;above. This line is case sensitive.

AUTOEXEC.BAT File Changes
-------------------------

Remark out any NETBIND= lines in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

If you are running only the TCP portion of the BW-NFS software, you should remove
the BWRPC and BWNFS drivers from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

If you are using the NFS portion of the BW-NFS software, you should remove the
BWSTART line from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. There should be a C:\WINDOWS\NET START
line only. If you see another similar line that is pointing to the BW-NFS
directory, either remark out or delete that line.

Rename Your Files
-----------------

Regardless of the installation (ODI or NDIS), in the BW-NFS directory, rename the
NET.EXE file to NFS.EXE and the STARTNET.EXE to BWSTART.EXE. This eliminates
potential conflicts with Windows for Workgroups drivers.

NOTE: BW-NFS version 3.1 uses STARTNET.COM instead of STARTNET.EXE.

Save Your Changes and Reboot
----------------------------

Save all changes to your files and reboot your computer. Your Beame and Whiteside
connectivity should then be restored.
