NETWARE CLIENT FOR OS/2 VERSION 2.11
README
November 7, 1994
------------------------------------------------
RUNNING NETWARE ADMINISTRATOR UNDER OS/2
NetWare 4.1 does not have a native OS/2 version of NetWare Administrator.
To run NetWare Administrator under OS/2, use VLM Boot.
See "Installing and Using NetWare VLM Boot" in the online documentation
or see Chapter 3 of NetWare Client for OS/2 User Guide.
LOCATION OF VLM BOOT ICON
Once you've installed VLM Boot, the icon is located on the OS/2 desktop, not
in the Novell folder as documented.
REINSTALLING NETWARE CLIENT FOR OS/2 AND VLM BOOT
VLM Boot creates specific environment in order for it to run properly.
If you've installed NetWare Client for OS/2 and VLM Boot and you choose to
reinstall NetWare Client for OS/2, you must also reinstall VLM Boot to restore
the proper environment.
MAKEDISK.CMD
To make diskettes of NetWare Client for OS/2 software, type MAKEDISK.CMD
at the OS/2 command line.
SPX SEND TIMEOUT NET.CFG SETTING
The default and ranges for the SPX SEND TIMEOUT NET.CFG setting in
NetWare Client for OS/2 version 2.11 have changed to the following:
Default = 500 milliseconds
Minimum = 100 milliseconds
Maximum = 6000 milliseconds
INT_DURING_IO WIN-OS/2 SETTING
ISSUE: When launching a network application in a WIN-OS/2 session, OS/2
appears to launch a DOS box and then return to the WIN-OS/2 session without
launching the application.
CAUSE: When Global or Private DOS or WIN-OS/2 sessions are running and a
file open is requested on the network, the request is redirected through NETX.EXE.
When the INT_DURING_IO WIN-OS/2 setting is set to ON, OS/2 sends read and
write requests directly to the OS/2 kernel.
The OS/2 kernel is unaware that the file has been opened through the shell. The
WIN-OS/2 session cannot read the file and fails to load the application.
SOLUTION Do any or all of the following:
1. Set the INT_DURING_IO WIN-OS/2 setting to OFF.
2. Do not load NETX.EXE in the AUTOEXEC.BAT for that session.
3. Run the application locally.
VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION WIN-OS/2 SETTING
ISSUE: If a WIN-OS/2 IPX/SPX application is launched in full screen mode and
the VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION WIN-OS/2 setting is set to OFF, the
application loses the SPX connection.
CAUSE: The context switch does not appear to give any proccess time when
the VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION DOS setting is set to OFF and the
full screen WIN-OS/2 application is in background. Because of this, no SPX
Watchdog packets are responded to and the connection is lost.
SOLUTION: Set the VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION DOS or WIN-OS/2
setting to ON.
