Installing or Upgrading NetWare Client Software

Using Two Network Boards

If you use a separate network board for each communication package that

you use then here are no additional steps to set up the second network board

under NetWare. This is because the network board is controlled by the other

communications package. It might need to be conﬁgured under the other

communication package.

Physically Separated Networks

You might want to use two network boards with each board being connected

to its own network. This makes it possible for a custom application to access

both networks at one time.

This means that, although both networks are connected to the same physical

machine, there is no communication between the two networks.

Modifying Client Workstation Files for Two Network Boards

Modifying client workstations system and conﬁguration ﬁles for two

network boards requires you to edit the following ﬁles in an ASCII text

editor:

• STARTNET.BAT

• NET.CFG

STARTNET.BAT

The NetWare Client installation program allows you to select a single ODI

LAN driver. This driver is loaded in the STARTNET.BAT ﬁle.

You need to load an additional ODI LAN driver in the STARTNET.BAT ﬁle

if you have two network boards installed in your client workstation.

The STARTNET.BAT ﬁle should appears as follows. If you are creating a

new STARTNET.BAT, add the following lines in the given order:

set nwlanguage=preferred_language

c:\client directory\lsl.com

c:\client directory\primary_lan_driver

c:\client directory\secondary_lan_driver

c:\client directory\ipxodi.com

c:\client directory\vlm.exe

c:\MS Windows directory\odihlp.com
