- 1. INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
- =================================
-
- Diskette Images Available on CD -
-
- For your convenience in making installation diskettes, the PC-NFSpro
- 2.0 CD \DISKETTE\ directory contains diskette images of this product.
-
- When Installing Over the Network -
-
- Due to a DOS-imposed limitation, a file on an NFS-mounted drive having
- a path name longer than 63 characters is not visible in File Manager,
- or from DOS using the DIR or LS commands. When installing over the
- network from an NFS mounted drive, specify mount points as far down the
- path as possible to minimize the number of characters required to
- access the lowest file in the path hierarchy.
-
- When Upgrading From PC-NFS 5.x -
-
- LAN adapter configuration (which applies to Windows 3.x, as opposed to
- Windows for WorkGroups) does not carry over to PC-NFSpro 2.0. During an
- upgrade, the Configuration program opens the LAN Adapter dialog box and
- you must reselect your adapter and then reconfigure it. You can examine
- your CONFIG.SYS file prior to upgrading to see which LAN adapter driver
- is used by your PC, and examine your PROTOCOL.INI file to determine
- your LAN adapter's current configuration settings.
-
- When Upgrading From PC-NFSpro 1.x -
-
- If you use Windows 3.1 or Windows for WorkGroups, do not attempt to
- remove a previously installed copy of PC-NFSpro. Install over an
- existing copy of PC-NFSpro. If a problem occurs during installation
- that causes you to abort the installation, a message is displayed that
- says installed files must be removed. Ignore this message if you intend
- to retry the installation. For example, if you run out of disk space
- during an installation, simply make room on your disk and rerun the
- PC-NFSpro Setup program.
-
- If You Install With a File in Use -
-
- You must close all open applications and files (including Winsock)
- before installing PC-NFSpro. If you do not, you will receive an error
- message when the installation program attempts to install a copy of an
- open file. When this situation occurs, an "Abort, Retry or Ignore"
- dialog box opens. If you see this dialog box, use Alt+Tab to see what
- application is running, close the application, and then choose the
- "Retry" option to resume installation.
-
- You can choose "Ignore" to use the version of the file already on your
- system and proceed with installation. However, this version may not
- work properly with PC-NFSpro 2.0. If you discover this to be the case,
- re-run Setup and perform a Custom Install, installing the PC-NFSpro 2.0
- component containing the file you need.
-
- To Configure a Laptop for Serial and LAN Use -
-
- To configure PC-NFSpro for use on a laptop PC that alternates between
- LAN and PPP connections, create two .CFG files, one for PPP use and one
- for LAN use. Switch back and forth between these configuration files as
- necessary.
-
- DNS Configuration -
-
- If you configure DNS, enter an IP address only (not a hostname) to
- identify the DNS server.

-
- 2. LICENSING
- ============
-
- Use PC-NFSpro 2.0 License Manager With Code1/Code2 Pairs -
-
- If you currently use License Manager for license distribution and
- administration, you must use the License Manager provided with
- PC-NFSpro 2.0 when creating new licenses from a code1/code2 pair.
-
- PLUM Server Version Restriction -
-
- If you currently use a PLUM server for license administration and
- distribution, you must use the PLUM server provided with PC-NFSpro 2.0
- to create new licenses from a code1/code2 pair. Older versions of the
- PLUM server are not compatible with PC-NFSpro 2.0 and cannot be used
- with PC-NFSpro 2.0. The PLUM server supplied on the PC-NFSpro CD is
- compatible with all versions of PC-NFS, PC-Admin, and PC-NFSpro, and
- should be used in mixed software environments.

-
- 3. WINDOWS 95 ISSUES
- ====================
- PC-NFSpro is designed to coexist with Windows 95 software. However,
- refer to the following notes if you are using PC-NFSpro in a Windows 95
- environment.
-
- When Upgrading to Windows 95 -
-
- If you use PC-NFSpro 1.x with Windows 3.1 or Windows for WorkGroups,
- and you want to upgrade your PC to Windows 95, you must first upgrade
- to PC-NFSpro 2.0, and then perform the Windows 95 upgrade.
-
- LAN Adapter Required for Serial-Only Operation -
-
- If you configure a PC running Windows 95 for Serial (PPP) communication
- only, you must also configure and load a LAN adapter through Windows 95
- (even if the PC is not equipped with a LAN adapter (NIC) card). This
- ensures the successful addition of PC-NFSpro as a Network client. If
- you reconfigure PC-NFSpro from a LAN to a serial configuration, do not
- unload/remove the LAN driver.
-
- To load a LAN adapter:
- 1. Choose Start->Settings->Control Panel.
- 2. Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel.
- 3. Choose Add.
- 4. Choose Network Adpater.
- 5. Choose Add.
- The Select Network adapters dialog box opens.
- 6. Select any network adapter from the list of adapters.
- 7. Choose OK.
-
- The Microsoft TCP/IP Stack Causes WINSOCK.DLL Problem -
-
- PC-NFSpro requires its own WINSOCK.DLL file to be installed in the
- \SOLARNET\BIN directory. However, if you install the Microsoft TCP/IP
- stack supplied with Windows 95, an additional WINSOCK.DLL file is
- installed in the \WINDOWS\ directory. The presence of two WINSOCK.DLL
- files causes some PC-NFSpro applications and utilities to fail. If you
- have installed (and subsequently removed) the Microsoft TCP/IP stack,
- you must rename the WINSOCK.DLL file in the \WINDOWS\ directory to
- prevent PC-NFSpro applications from using it. Rename this file
- WINSOCK.DL-. Note that when PC-NFSpro is installed, it renames the
- WSOCK32.DLL supplied with the Microsoft TCP/IP stack to WSOCK32.DL-.
-
- NetBIOS Domain Scope Parameter -
-
- This parameter is invalid in Windows 95 and can be ignored.
- ______________________________________________________________________
-
- 4. TELNET
- =========
-
- In a New Location -
-
- The Telnet application is now installed in its own directory:
- (\SOLARNET\TELNET). If you are upgrading from a previous version of
- PC-NFSpro, you must move any ECF files to this directory. In addition,
- you must remove DEFINE KEY commands in these files.
- ______________________________________________________________________
-
- 5. Pronto E-Mail
- ================
-
- SHARE Required When Using Windows 3.1 -
-
- To use Pronto E-Mail with Windows 3.1, CONFIG.SYS must load the
- SHARE.EXE program. Refer to the MS-DOS on-line help by typing 'help
- share' at the MS-DOS command prompt for more information.
-
- CTL3DV2.DLL Version Compatibility -
-
- If you do a full PC-NFSpro installation, or a custom installation that
- includes Pronto E-Mail, a new version of CTL3DV2.DLL is installed in
- the Windows system directory. If there is an older version of
- CTL3DV2.DLL in the Windows directory, you should rename or delete it.
- The older version may cause problems with the encode/decode features of
- Pronto E-Mail.
-
- To Import SelectMail or E-Mail 1.x Folders -
-
- Pronto E-Mail uses an efficient database storage format for messages.
- Existing SelectMail or E-Mail 1.x folders can be imported by using the
- File->Import Folder... option. A utility will be provided in the future
- which will automatically upgrade SelectMail or E-Mail folders to the
- new format. This utility will be made available in the SunSoft forum on
- CompuServe.
-
- Multiuser Operation -
-
- You can configure Pronto E-Mail for multiuser operation. Refer to
- "Serving Multiple E-Mail Users" in the Contents section of E-Mail help
- for multiuser configuration procedures.

-
- 6. NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR
- ======================
-
- Correct TCP/IP Configuration Required -
-
- If you run Netscape Navigator without correctly configuring TCP/IP,
- Netscape will cause a GPF (General Protection Fault).
-
- Win32s Version Incompatibility -
-
- If you presently use version 1.15 or earlier of Win32s, you will not be
- able to install the Netscape Navigator. To solve this problem, either
- remove the the old version of Win32s or upgrade to version 1.25 of
- Win32s. Double-click the Release Notes icon in the PC-NFSpro group to
- view instructions about determining your Win32s version, removing an
- old version of Win32s, and obtaining a copy of version 1.25 of Win32s.
