Configuration Files
Modifying the DOS system and NetWare Client configuration files requires
you to edit the CONFIG.SYS, STARTNET.BAT, and NET.CFG files with an
ASCII text editor.
Modifying the CONFIG.SYS File
Modify the CONFIG.SYS file with an ASCII text editor to set the
LASTDRIVE variable to Z for the NetWare DOS Requester™ software.
Procedure
1 Open the CONFIG.SYS file in an ASCII text editor.
For example, to use the Novell DOS™ 7 System Editor at the command line to
edit the CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory, you would type
EDIT C:\CONFIG.SYS <Enter>
2 Set the LASTDRIVE variable to Z by adding the following line to the file:
LASTDRIVE = Z
3 Save your changes and exit the ASCII text editor.
Modifying the STARTNET.BAT File
The following modifications to the STARTNET.BAT file are required for
each client workstation that you want to load the Desktop SNMP software
on.
• Modify the STARTNET.BAT file to load either one or both of the STPIPX.COM
and STPUDP.COM files.
• Modify the STARTNET.BAT file to load the HRMIB.EXE file.
You must have either the IPX or UDP/IP protocol installed on your system
to support the transport providers. You can use both types of transport on a
single client workstation.
