Configuring Client Workstations for Desktop SNMP Services
Modifying DOS System and NetWare Client Configuration Files
Modifying DOS System and NetWare Client Configuration Files
Modifying the DOS system and NetWare Client configuration files requires you to edit the CONFIG.SYS, STARTNET.BAT, and NET.CFG files with an ASCII text editor.
Modifying the CONFIG.SYS File
Modify the CONFIG.SYS file with an ASCII text editor to set the LASTDRIVE variable to Z for the NetWare DOS Requester™ software.
Procedure
1Open the CONFIG.SYS file in an ASCII text editor.
For example, to use the Novell DOS™ 7 System Editor at the command line to edit the CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory, you would type
EDIT C:\CONFIG.SYS <Enter>
2Set the LASTDRIVE variable to Z by adding the following line to the file:
LASTDRIVE = Z
3Save your changes and exit the ASCII text editor.
Modifying the STARTNET.BAT File
The following modifications to the STARTNET.BAT file are required for each client workstation that you want to load the Desktop SNMP software on.
•Modify the STARTNET.BAT file to load either one or both of the STPIPX.COM and STPUDP.COM files.
•Modify the STARTNET.BAT file to load the HRMIB.EXE file.
You must have either the IPX or UDP/IP protocol installed on your system to support the transport providers. You can use both types of transport on a single client workstation.
