Installing or Upgrading NetWare Client Software
Introduction
Introduction
The NetWare Client installation program copies the NetWare DOS
Requester™ and other NetWare Client software for DOS and Microsoft
(MS) Windows to specified directories on each client workstation. It also
provides procedures for editing configuration files for your operating
environment to run on NetWare.
The NetWare DOS Requester and other core components of the NetWare
Client software direct network requests from the client workstations to the
network. After you install the NetWare Client software on your workstation,
you can connect to a NetWare network and perform basic network tasks.
See Chapter 2, “Understanding the NetWare Client Software,” to learn more
about how the NetWare DOS Requester and other NetWare Client software
works.
Installing or upgrading the NetWare Client software requires set up on each
client workstation that you want to connect to and use with NetWare
networks and servers.
The complete setup for client workstations that you want to upgrade or
install as new requires you to complete the following tasks:
• Running the NetWare Client Installation Program
• (Conditional) Installing for MS Windows for Workgroups
• (Optional) Setting Up an MS Windows Shared Network Directory for NETX and
VLM Client Workstations
