IBM OS/2 WARP V3.0 AND NETWARE REQUESTER WITH 100VG
Support Bulletin: 5280 Rev: C
Abstract: This document contains the instructions on how to add NetWare connectivity using Racore 100VG products (ISA and EISA only, PCI not presently supported) to OS/2 WARP v3.0 where no other network connections are required. It uses the Racore NetWare requester driver RVGNW.SYS and the NetWare Requester Installation program for OS/2 WARP.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
1. Racore NetWare Requester Driver RVGNW.SYS v1.05 or higher from the Racore distribution diskette.
2. Novell NetWare Requester Installation program for OS/2 (v2.01 or higher), supplied by Novell on CD ROM or diskette.
STARTING POINT:
OS/2 WARP has been installed on local hard drive using FAT instead of HPFS; no network connections or PCMCIA support has been selected.
PROCEDURE:
1. From an OS/2 full screen prompt, install the NetWare Requester program to the hard drive in the \NETWARE directory (run INSTALL).
Choose "Requester on Workstation"
Make target directory \NETWARE
Select "Copy Only Requester Files"
Exit the install program as running from CD ROM or diskette.
2. Copy the Racore file RVGNW.SYS to the \NETWARE directory of your system's hard drive.
3. From the \NETWARE directory of your system's hard drive, begin the NetWare Requester program again.
Select "INSTALLATION"
Select "Requester on Workstation"
Select "Only Edit CONFIG.SYS"
From the "Choose ODI LAN Driver" window:
Enter the driver nameRVGNW.SYS
From the "Choose NetWare Support for DOS and Windows Applications" window:
Select "OFF"
From the "Choose Optional Protocols" window:
Don't make any selections
Press "SAVE"
The program will update your CONFIG.SYS and insert the command line which loads
RVGNW.SYS.
Create a NET.CFG file as shown below. You may use the Requester program to do this, or you may exit the program and create a NET.CFG file manually. To use the program's editor to create a NET.CFG file, select "CONFIGURE". EXAMPLE:
Link Driver RVGNW.SYS (note: don't use the extension ".SYS")
PORT 300 (must be used with ISA adapter for NET.CFG to be recognized)
INT 10 (optional)
4. Shut down your OS/2 WARP system and re-boot.
Your system will boot, load the NetWare Requester driver, and provide you with NetWare connectivity.
