Installing or Upgrading NetWare Client Software
Running the NetWare Client Installation Program
network.drv=*shared_MS_Windows_directory\netxdrv\ netware.drv
For example:
network.drv=*f:apps\winsys\netxdrv\netware.drv
Ensure that the necessary changes to the MS Windows .INI files were made (See “MS Windows Configuration Files Are Modified” for more information).
For details on where the SYSTEM directory and .INI files are located, see “Loading MS Windows onto the Network,” in Chapter2 of NetWare 4 Supervising the Network.
Installing LAN Drivers
LAN driver software serves as the link between workstations’ operating systems and the network.
A network board in your client workstation allows it to communicate with the NetWare server.
The NetWare Client software can support additional network boards and LAN drivers in a client workstation. See “Using Two Network Boards” for information and procedures.
All communication on the network consists of packets of information being sent between client workstations and servers through network boards and cabling.
There are different kinds of packets, distinguished from each other by the order and type of information in the packet. Each kind of packet has its own definition, called a frame type.
Servers and client workstations must be configured to use the same frame types in order to communicate with each other.
Routers must also support the same frame types as the servers and workstations, or packets will not be routed correctly. This will disrupt
