Preparing Client Workstations

If you are upgrading your client software from a previous version of the

NetWare Client software, your current workstation hardware and software

conﬁguration should be sufﬁcient. In this case, go to “Preparing the NetWare

Client Installation Software” to continue preparing for installation.

The following checklist can help you determine what preparations you need

to make for installing the NetWare Client software.

• A running copy of Novell DOS™ 7 or later, DR DOS® 5 or later, MS-DOS 3 or

later, or PC-DOS 3 or later.

• (Conditional: if using MS Windows) A copy of MS Windows 3.x or Windows

for Workgroups (WFWG) 3.11 installed on your client workstation.

• (Optional) If you have DOS and MS Windows client workstations running an

IPX.COM file generated by DOSGEN or SHGEN, upgrade your dedicated IPX

driver to ODI. See “Upgrading Your IPX Driver to ODI” for instructions.
