How to setup Novell Client32 TCP/IP
How to setup Novell Client32 TCP/IP
===================================
Novell has released a 32-bit client for NetWare to use with
DOS and Windows 3.1x. This is a different product than the
Client32 for Windows 95 and these instructions do not apply
to the Win95 product.
Many users of DOS/Win3.x are upgrading to Client32 because
it is fast and uses only about 4 kbytes of DOS conventional
memory. It also inlcudes Winsock compliant TCP/IP stack.
This TCP/IP stack needs a little special configuration to
make it work with Progress.
Novell ships the client without the protocols, networks, hosts
and services files. These files have to be copied from
another system or manually created before the client can
be used with Progress. The files should be placed in the
TCP subdirectory under the client installation directory,
e.g. C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\TCP. The filename of the protocols
file should be "protocol" because of the 8 character DOS
restriction.
The minimum needed to make Progress work with this client
=========================================================
The files needed are text files and can be edited using any
text editor. These are the minimum contents of those files:
HOSTS:
<your servers ip address> <your servers hostname>
NETWORKS: The file is not needed.
PROTOCOL:
tcp 6 TCP
SERVICES:
<your service name> <your tcp port number>/tcp
The PROTOCOL file really needs to contain only one line.
Examples of hosts and services files:
HOSTS:
200.200.200.200 myserver
SERVICES:
prodbsv 3000/tcp
All Progress Windows products that use the Winsock API do not
need any special configuration on the Progress side. For DOS
Progress, you need to set PRONCS to PROLWP.EXE (Same as for
Novell LanWorkplace).
The Client32 has NOT been certified by Progress to be used
with the DOS products and TCP/IP. It seems to work with
simple tests but it is not supported.
