QUICK STEP CONFIGURATIONS FOR NETWARE LITE AND WINDOWS

This document is a quick reference for taking the necessary steps to
configure Windows v3.1 for use with NetWare Lite v1.1. For additional
details on hardware configuration, refer to document 1200452 on
Novell's FaxBack Server or TID1200452 in the NSE Pro or on
Compuserve. For more information on software configuration, refer to
document 1200406 or TID1200406 also available from the same sources.
The following procedure assumes that you are installing a local copy
of Windows 3.1 and you do not have the NetWare Lite utility for
Windows.

NOTE: All computers should have the current patches applied. For more
information on acquiring and installing the patches, please get
document 13869 from Novell's FaxBack Service or TID013869 from the
NSE Pro or from Compuserve.

1.   If you are running SMARTDRV, ensure deferred writes are
disabled. This is done by modifying the line to be:

     SMARTDRV C

(C is the drive Windows is normally located in. This parameter
disables deferred writes). Warning: Do not run SMARTDRV (located in
the AUTOEXEC.BAT) and NLCACHE (located usually in the STARTNET.BAT
file) simultaneously!

2.   If your LAN board uses upper RAM, ensure that the addresses are
excluded in the memory manager in the CONFIG.SYS. Examples of boards
that may qualify are the following:

     -o-  SMC Elite 16
     -o-  IntelEtherExpress
     -o-  WD Plus
     -o-  WD8003
     -o-  SMC PC130
     -o-  IBM TR 16/4

Refer to your hardware manual to determine what range needs to be
excluded. For example:

     DR DOS CONFIG.SYS:  device=c:\drdos\emm386.sys /E=C000-C7FF
     MS-DOS CONFIG.SYS:  device=c:\dos\emm386.exe X=C000-C7FF
                              or
                         device=c:\windows\emm386.exe X=C000-C7FF

Use a PORT address of 310 - 350 for your LAN board. To adjust the I/O
address, refer to your LAN hardware adapter manual and then modify
the NET.CFG in the C:\NWLITE directory.

DO NOT USE interrupts 2 or 9 (2=VGA)

Note: IRQ 3 or 4 may also cause problems. ( 3=com2, 4=com1).

To adjust the interrupt, refer to your LAN hardware adapter manual,
then modify the NET.CFG in the C:\NWLITE directory.

3.   Add the following five SYSTEM.INI parameters in the [386enh]:

     TimerCriticalSection=10000
     UniqueDOSPSP=TRUE
     PSPIncrement=5
     ReflectDOSInt2a=TRUE
     OverlappedIO=OFF

4.   Modify the NETWORK= line in the SYSTEM.INI to include VIPX.386.
The current line may look like the following:

     network = *dosnet, *vnetbios

After modification, it should look like the following line:

     network = *dosnet, *vnetbios, VIPX.386

5.   Copy the VIPX.386 driver from the C:\NWLITE directory to the
Windows SYSTEM directory.

Example:
     copy c:\nwlite\vipx.386 c:\windows\system\vipx.386

6.   CAPTURE and MAP resources as needed. (Before entering Windows)

7.   Start Windows

8.   Open the Control Panel.

9.   Open the printer icon.

10.  Select the type of printer being used.

11.  Select the CONNECT button.

12.  Set the printer port to LPT1.DOS or LPT2.DOS (depending upon
which port you capture before going into Windows).

13.  Turn off FAST PRINTING direct to port.

14.  Select OK.

Optional: Turn off Print Manager. This is not necessary but may be
useful as a troubleshooting tip.
