Installing or Upgrading NetWare Client Software
Using Two Network Boards
If you use a separate network board for each communication package that you use then here are no additional steps to set up the second network board under NetWare. This is because the network board is controlled by the other communications package. It might need to be configured under the other communication package.
Physically Separated Networks
You might want to use two network boards with each board being connected to its own network. This makes it possible for a custom application to access both networks at one time.
This means that, although both networks are connected to the same physical machine, there is no communication between the two networks.
Modifying Client Workstation Files for Two Network Boards
Modifying client workstations system and configuration files for two network boards requires you to edit the following files in an ASCII text editor:
•STARTNET.BAT
•NET.CFG
STARTNET.BAT
The NetWare Client installation program allows you to select a single ODI LAN driver. This driver is loaded in the STARTNET.BAT file.
You need to load an additional ODI LAN driver in the STARTNET.BAT file if you have two network boards installed in your client workstation.
The STARTNET.BAT file should appears as follows. If you are creating a new STARTNET.BAT, add the following lines in the given order:
set nwlanguage=preferred_language c:\client directory\lsl.com c:\client directory\primary_lan_driver c:\client directory\secondary_lan_driver c:\client directory\ipxodi.com c:\client directory\vlm.exe
c:\MS Windows directory\odihlp.com
