Installing or Upgrading NetWare Client Software

Introduction

Introduction

The NetWare Client installation program copies the NetWare DOS Requester™ and other NetWare Client software for DOS and Microsoft (MS) Windows to specified directories on each client workstation. It also provides procedures for editing configuration files for your operating environment to run on NetWare.

The NetWare DOS Requester and other core components of the NetWare Client software direct network requests from the client workstations to the network. After you install the NetWare Client software on your workstation, you can connect to a NetWare network and perform basic network tasks.

See Chapter 2, “Understanding the NetWare Client Software,” to learn more about how the NetWare DOS Requester and other NetWare Client software works.

Installing or upgrading the NetWare Client software requires set up on each client workstation that you want to connect to and use with NetWare networks and servers.

The complete setup for client workstations that you want to upgrade or install as new requires you to complete the following tasks:

Running the NetWare Client Installation Program

(Conditional) Installing for MS Windows for Workgroups

(Optional) Setting Up an MS Windows Shared Network Directory for NETX and VLM Client Workstations
