Novell LAN WorkGroup for DOS version 5.0

Novell LAN WorkGroup for DOS version 5.0

The instructions in this section apply to LAN WorkGroup for DOS version 5.0.

To load and configure Madge drivers:

  1. Install Novell LAN WorkGroup for DOS using Novell's documentation. At the end of the installation, select Configure. This runs the configuration program which has several configurable sections. For a basic set up, configure the sections in the following way:

    Adapter - You do not need to do anything in this section.

    TCP/IP - If you are not using DHCP or BOOTP, Uncheck 'use bootp'. This allows you to enter IP address, subnet mask, domain name and addresses of DNS servers. Uncheck 'load LAN WorkGroup TCPIP'.

    Winsock applications may only receive DNS server addresses via DHCP when used with Madge Winsock. The addresses of DNS servers cannot be obtained via DHCP or BOOTP when used with DHCP.SMT and a non-Madge winsock. Therefore, if you are using DHCP.SMT to provide IP configuration via DHCP or BOOTP and do not intend to use Madge Winsock, then you will need to configure the domain name and addresses of DNS servers in this section.

    Netware - Do not load netware client support.

    Netware/IP - This will be greyed out if you do not load a Netware client. For more information, see the instructions on configuring for Netware/IP in the Additional hints below .

    Hosts - Add hosts if necessary.

    NFS - Do not load the NFS client. For more information, see the instructions on configuring for NFS in the Additional hints below.

    Link Support - Uncheck 'Load LSL'. You only need to load the LSL if you are going to load a netware client (e.g. Netware/IP) or using the SNMP agent.

  2. Install Smart TCP/IP using Madge Wizard.

Note that you can install Smart TCP/IP manually using SMART.EXE. A sample smart.cfg would be:

[host]
   win=31

[card]

[ip]
   ip.address=196.168.2.100
   ip.netmask=255.255.255.0
   ip.router=196.168.2.4
   enable.mib=yes			;only add if you need SNMP agent support

[tcp]

[udp]

[novapi]
   enable.statistics=yes		;only add if you need SNMP agent support
   tunnel=yes				      ;only add if you need Netware/IP support
You can add a line to the top of the \net\bin\startnet.bat file to load smart.exe, or place a line in the autoexec.bat.

Additional Hints

Configuring NFS support

To configure NFS Support:

  1. In the configuration program in the Link Support section, Check the 'load LSL' box.

  2. Configure the NFS Client section as required.

  3. Exit Windows. Edit the \net\bin\startnet.bat file. Remove the line immediately after C:\NWCLIENT\LSL which loads an ODI driver and replace it with a line to load smart.exe instead. For example, this line could be C:\MADGE\SMART. If you added a line to load smart.exe at the beginning of the startnet.bat earlier, you need to remove it so that smart.exe is only loaded once.

  4. Reboot your computer.


Configuring Netware/IP support

To configure Netware/IP support:

  1. In the configuration program in the TCP/IP section, check the 'Load LAN WorkGroup TCP/IP' checkbox. This allows you to configure the Netware/IP section.

  2. In the Link Support section, check the 'load LSL' box.

  3. In the Netware section, check the 'Load Netware client' checkbox, set the Netware protocol to 'IP' and fill in the forms as required.

  4. Configure the Netware/IP section as required.

  5. Return to the TCP/IP section and uncheck 'Load LAN WorkGroup TCP/IP'.

  6. Exit Windows. Edit the \net\bin\startnet.bat file. Remove the line immediately after C:\NWCLIENT\LSL which loads an ODI driver and replace it with a line to load smart.exe instead. For example, this line could be C:\MADGE\SMART. If you added a line to load smart.exe at the beginning of the startnet.bat earlier, you need to remove it so that smart.exe is only loaded once.

  7. Edit SMART.CFG and add tunnel=yes to the [novapi] section.

  8. Reboot your computer.


Configuring the SNMP agent

To configure for the SNMP agent:

  1. In the Link Support section, check the 'load LSL' box.

  2. Exit Windows. Edit the \net\bin\startnet.bat file. Remove the line immediately after C:\NWCLIENT\LSL which loads an ODI driver and replace it with a line to load smart.exe instead. For example, this line could be C:\MADGE\SMART. If you added a line to load smart.exe at the beginning of the startnet.bat earlier, you need to remove it so that smart.exe is only loaded once. Add another line to load snmp.exe after smart.exe.

  3. Add a Protocol SNMP section to the net.cfg. Refer to Novell's documentation for details on how this should be laid out. An example is shown below:

    Protocol SNMP
       monitorcommunity	public
       controlcommunity	monitor
       syscontact	Joe
       sysname	JBloggs
       syslocation	Room 101
    

  4. Edit smart.cfg and add enable.mib=yes to the [ip] section and enable.statistics to the [novapi] section.

  5. reboot your computer.
