DOCUMENT:Q117440 27-SEP-1999 [win95x] TITLE :Novell NetWare 3.12 and 4.0 Support in Windows 3.11 PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows 95.x Retail Product PROD/VER:WINDOWS:3.11 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:win31 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows 3.11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= Windows 3.11 includes all necessary Windows support files to use with Novell NetWare versions 3.12 and 4.0. The "Novell NetWare (Shell Versions 4.0 and above)" option in Windows Setup supports both NetWare 3.12 and 4.0 using Shell versions 4.0 and above (VLM). To enable NetWare 3.12 or 4.0 functionality in Windows 3.11, verify that you have all the necessary MS-DOS-level drivers already working (for example, the new VLM redirector). You can obtain the MS-DOS-level drivers by installing the client software for NetWare 3.12 or 4.0. The latest version of this software is available in the Novell forum on CompuServe. You should be able to log on and attach to a NetWare server before installing Windows 3.11 support for NetWare. If you can log on to your NetWare server at MS-DOS, use the following steps to enable NetWare functionality in Windows 3.11: 1. In the Main group, run Windows Setup. 2. From the Options menu, choose Change System Settings. 3. Select "Novell NetWare (Shell Versions 4.00 and above)" for Network. Windows then prompts you for the appropriate disks and makes changes to your Windows configuration to support NetWare Shell versions 4.0 and above. MORE INFORMATION ================ The following changes are made when you set up Windows 3.11 for Novell NetWare Shell versions 4.0 and above. NOTE: Some files have different names on the distribution disks than what they are expanded to by Setup. This is necessary to differentiate the Windows support files for NetWare 3.x, 3.12, and 4.0. If you need to manually expand a NetWare support file from the Windows 3.11 distribution disks, note the filename on the distribution disks and the expanded filename below. Setup expands the following files to the Windows directory: NWCALLS.DLL NWNET.DLL NWIPXSPX.DLL NWLOCALE.DLL NWPSRV.DLL TASKID.COM TBMI240.CO_ expands to TBMI2.COM Setup expands the following files into the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory: NW40.DR_ expands to NETWARE.DRV VIPX40.38_ expands to VIPX.386 NW40.HL_ expands to NETWARE.HLP VNW40.38_ expands to VNETWARE.386 NWPOP40.EX_ expands to NWPOPUP.EXE Setup creates a Windows NLS subdirectory and expands the following files to it: UNI_1252.001 1252_UNI.001 UNI_MON.001 UNI_COL.001 Setup creates a Windows NLS\ENGLISH subdirectory and expands the following files to it: TASKID.MSG TBMI2.MSG NW40.HL_ expands to NETWARE.HLP Also, the following changes are made to the SYSTEM.INI and WIN.INI files: SYSTEM.INI ---------- [Boot] Network.drv=Netware.drv [386Enh] Network=*vnetbios,vnetware.386, vipx.386 OverlappedIO=off TimerCriticalSection=10000 ReflectDOSInt2A=True UniqueDOSPSP=True PSPIncrement=5 WIN.INI ------- Load=nwpopup.exe Additional query words: 3.11 3.10 3.1 4.00 vlm ====================================================================== Keywords : win31 Technology : kbWin3xSearch kbZNotKeyword3 kbWin311 Version : WINDOWS:3.11 ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
