ISSUE:

NetWare Lite Compatibility with the Native NetWare Shell

If your site is currently using Novell NetWare and you are installing
NetWare Lite on the same LAN, then there are some guidelines that
should be followed for both to function properly.

NetWare Lite functions on a single LAN segment.  In other words,
NetWare Lite packets do not cross Novell bridges (NetWare Lite
packets do cross MAC layer bridges or repeaters, however).  In a site
that has existing NetWare, each NetWare Lite network will be
constrained to a single LAN segment.

If there are workstations that will load both the NetWare shell and
NetWare Lite software, Novell strongly suggests the following load
order: 

IPX (The IPX you had or IPXODI that came with NetWare Lite; either
one but not both) 
DOS Share (SHARE.EXE, if becoming a SERVER) 
NetWare Lite Server (SERVER.EXE, if desired)
NetWare Lite Client (CLIENT.EXE, if desired)
NetWare Shell (NETx.COM)

After you have installed the Client to a workstation that will also
be running the NetWare Shell, you will need to modify your
AUTOEXEC.BAT or appropriate batch file to load the files in the
correct order. 

Note: With LASTDRIVE set, the NetWare Shell will map the first drive
past LASTDRIVE to the SYS:LOGIN directory of the NetWare server for
you to log in.  If LASTDRIVE is not set, DOS defaults it to the E:
drive; thus, F: would be mapped to SYS:LOGIN.  Also, if you use the
MAP *1:= command in your login script, *1 means the first drive past
LASTDRIVE.  If you are dependent on certain drives being mapped with
certain letters, changing LASTDRIVE may change which drive letters
are mapped.  Be aware that all drive letters, A: through Z:, can be
mapped to NetWare servers. (NetWare Lite can only map A: through
LASTDRIVE.)
