SYMPTOMS:

Difficulty setting up WFWG and PNW to work simultaneously on a
workstation.

SOLUTIONS:

The following are the instructions to help get Windows for Workgroups
(WFWG) v3.11 to work with PERSONAL NetWare.

These instructions will NOT work with WFWG v3.1.  Currently PNW is
NOT supported with WFWG v3.1; it IS supported with WFWG 3.11

First, get Windows for Workgroups to function without NetWare or
PERSONAL NetWare installed.

1. Install/configure WFWG 3.11 so that it will run on the ODI shell
using IPX.  See your WFWG documentation for instructions.

2. Verify that it is working.  (for example, map a drive, print to a
shared printer, use the chat program)

Next, get the PERSONAL NetWare piece working.

1. Remark out the following lines that were added by WFWG:

     In the CONFIG.SYS, the IFSHLP.SYS line.
     In the AUTOEXEC.BAT, the NET START and ODIHLP.EXE lines.

2. Install/configure Personal NetWare to run.  See your PNW
documentation for instructions.

3. Verify that it is working from DOS. (for example, map a drive,
print to a shared printer, use the network diagnostics).

Finally, get the two networks to work together.

1. Verify that the NWCLIENT directory is before the WINDOWS directory
on the PATH line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  Both networks ship with a
NET.EXE utility.  WFWG needs to run its NET once to start the
network.  You can specify the full path to it in the AUTOEXEC.BAT to
avoid confusion with PNW.  Because PNW needs to run the NET utility
often, it should be first in the PATH.

2. Un-remark the NET START and ODIHLP.EXE lines in the AUTOEXEC.BAT.

3. Verify that the NET START line contains the full path to the WFWG
NET command.  (for example, C:\WINDOWS\NET START)

4. Restart the computer and load both networks.

5. Run Windows.

6. Go into the Network Setup utility for WFWG.  This can be done by
opening the Windows Setup icon in the Main program group, and
selecting "Change Network Settings..." from the options menu; or by
opening the Network Setup icon in the Network program group.

7. Select the "Networks" button.  Verify that the "Install Microsoft
Windows Network:" radio button is selected.  Verify that the "Other:"
radio button is selected and that it indicates "Novell NetWare
(Workstation Shell 4.0 and above)" as the other network.  Then select
"OK."

8. Select the "Sharing" button.  Verify that the pieces you wish to
share with the other workstations on the network are selected. Then
select "OK."

9. Select the "Drivers" button.  Verify that the proper network
interface card (NIC) driver is in place.  Verify that the "IPX/SPX
Compatible Transport" or the "IPX/SPX Compatible Transport with
NetBIOS" driver is loading.  Verify that the "Microsoft NetBEUI"
driver is loading.  Select IPX/SPX as the default protocol.  Then
select "OK".

10. Select "OK" to close the Network Setup utility and save the
changes.  You should not replace any of the drivers currently
installed.

11. Exit Windows to a DOS prompt.

12. Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to move the NET START and ODIHLP.EXE
lines so they execute after STARTNET.BAT.  They need to be moved
because they rely on LSL and the MLID drivers that are loaded as part
of STARTNET.BAT.

13. Edit the NET.CFG file in the NWCLIENT directory to verify that
the correct frame type for your network is loading.  IPX will only
bind to one frame type.  The frame type you want IPX to bind to
should be the first one listed in the LINK DRIVER section.

14. Reboot.  Start both networks, go into Windows, and verify that
both networks are functioning correctly by mapping drives to both
networks, printing to printers on both networks, and so forth.

NOTE: Currently, the Personal NetWare network diagnostics will not
function properly if Windows for Workgroups is running.  To use the
diagnostics, verify that the diagnostics pieces are loading (see your
Personal NetWare documentation) and exit Windows.  You will have to
use NET DIAGS (the DOS version).
