This article outlines the steps needed to configure Apple's DOS Compatibility Card to use Novell's 32-bit client software to attach to a NetWare server.
DISCUSSION Step 1 ------ Start Windows 95. Restart in MS-DOS mode. Step 2 ------ Run the NetWare 16-bit installer to install the ODI driver. a) At the install screen choose no for #3 (do not install Windows support). b) Choose #5, press enter and select OTHER DRIVERS. c) Eject the Novell installer floppy disk and insert the "PC Compatibility Installer" floppy disk and press Return. d) Choose the PC Compatibility Ethernet Adapter. e) Press return to select the frame type. IMPORTANT : Press the F10 key to save your settings. f) Press enter to begin the installation. Insert disks as required g) When the installation is done, exit to DOS and type "EXIT" to restart Windows. This completes the ODI driver installation. Step 3 ------ Verify that the ODI driver is working by preforming the following: a) Restart Windows 95 and press F8 when you see the "Starting Windows 95..." message on the screen. b) Choose the "Step-by-Step Confirmation" option. 1) Answer "Y" to all questions. When you reach the "C:\NWCLIENT\STARTNET" command you have reached the driver loading section. 2) Answer "Y" to "NWLANGUAGE". 3) Answer "Y" to "LSL.COM". 4) Answer "Y" to "MACODI.COM". 5) Answer "Y" to "IPXODI.COM". If you have the right frame type selected you should get a message that reads "You are attached to server...". 6) This completes the verification of the drivers. Answer "Y" to all remaining questions until Windows 95 starts. To verify that the Novell client software obtained from Novell has installed properly, compare the various software layer versions to the following list. LSL version 2.16 MACODI version MLID 1.5 IPXODI version v3.02 VLM version v.1.20 rev B Also, the resulting STARTNET.BAT text batch file inside the NWCLIENT subdirectory should contain: NWCLIENT\LSL.COM NWCLIENT\MACODI.COM WIN95\ODIHLP.EXE and depending on the client software, either NWCLIENT\IPXODI or NWCLIENT\VLM.EXE Step 4 ------ Now install the 32-bit client from Windows 95. a) Insert disk 1 of the 32-bit installer set and run the "setup" program, click Start and choose the "Run..." option, then type "a:\setup" into the dialog box that follows. b) Close the license box by pressing the "y" key. c) Click the setup program's Start button. d) After files have been copied you will be presented with a "Select Device" dialog box asking for the network driver to install. Choose the "Existing ODI Driver" option and click OK. e) You may be asked to provide some computer identification information. See your network administrator for the required information, and type it into the proper fields, then click Close. f) You will be asked if you wish to set any special properties. Click NO, there will be a chance later to provide any information we might want. g) You will be asked to insert disks as files are copied to the hard drive. You may also be asked for the original Windows 95 media. h) When the installation is complete you will be asked to restart. Eject the floppy and restart the computer.

Enter a preferred tree or server name. Step 17 ------- Click OK to close the dialog box. Step 18 ------- Click OK in the Network control panel. Step 19 ------- You may be requested to provide various installation media. If you are asked for the Novell NetWare DOS driver disk insert the "PC Compatibility Installer" floppy disk. If you are asked for the location of "lsl.com" type "c:\nwclient". Step 20 ------- When you are asked to restart choose "continue" instead. Step 21 ------- Copy the "MACODI.COM" file from the c:\nwclient directory to c:\windows. Step 22 ------- Now restart the computer to complete the installation. Step 23 ------- If Windows 95 is desired to be the interface for the Novell login, choose Novell 4.X Client for VLMs as the Logon client. If your configuration is accurate you will be presented with a Novell Logon dialog box during the startup process. To confirm your connection you can open the "Network Neighborhood" icon and look for your Netware server and/or tree name. |
