A special CD-ROM has been included with The CNE Study Guide to enhance and support your NetWare education. Inside you will find four exciting surprises. Let's take a closer look. THE CLARKE TESTS With help from LANimation and LearningWare, I have developed a whole new way of studying for CNE tests. The Clarke Tests is Windows-based software that offers more than just sample test questions. It is an interactive learning system! In addition to valuable CNE test questions, the software offers interactive clues, multimedia sound and graphics, page references to Novell-authorized courseware, and various study paths. But the real stars are the interactive answers. Each question includes a full page or more of explanation and study material--just what the CNE doctor ordered. Nine courses are covered, including the core six from this book, and the popular NetWare 3.1x to 4.x Update course. These challenging test questions and interactive answers are an invaluable study tool for passing the Certified Novell Engineer exams. Give them a try. Refer to the README.CLK file for installation instructions. It can be found in the D:\CNE\CLARKE subdirectory on the CD-ROM. Begin Microsoft Windows and choose File -> Run. Then type D:\CNE\CLARKE\SETUP in the input window and click OK. Note: If your CD-ROM drive letter is something other than D, type in that letter instead. Once the demo of the Clarke tests has been installed, you can walk through the interactive testing system using the special tutorial program. It's never been so easy to study. Remember, the Clarke tests are just a learning tool for the actual Drake certification exams. They are not the real CNE tests. MICRO HOUSE TECHNICAL LIBRARY The Micro House Technical Library is a comprehensive technical database with a built-in search engine. It includes diagrams and documentation concerning PC hardware; coverage of numerous manufacturers' products; a directory of manufacturers; reference material and troubleshooting information; and illustrated glossaries of terms. The Micro House Technical Library demonstration program on the CD-ROM displays random data samples, and some features are disabled; the CD-ROM also contains the full version of the IO Cards Library, which is not a demonstration and is not disabled. To run the Micro House Technical Library demonstration, run Windows and choose File -> Run from Program Manager. Then type D:\MTL\DEMOS\CDDEMO.EXE, substituting your CD-ROM drive letter for D if necessary. Then click on OK or press Enter to run the demonstration. To run the IO Cards Library, run Windows and choose File -> Run from Program Manager. Then type D:\MTL\MH.EXE, substituting your CD-ROM drive letter for D if necessary. Then click on OK or press Enter to run the program. To run the DrivePro demonstration, from DOS, make your CD-ROM drive the current drive, change to the \DEMOS directory, type DPDEMO, and press Enter. WIRERIP WireRIP is the graphical user interface for World Wire. World Wire is a new, exciting on-line service specifically designed for networking professionals. It includes technical information, downloadable files, forums, and an on-line shopping mall. But the feature that sets it apart is the on-line lab. The World Wire LAB gives you full access to NetWare 2.2, 3.12, and 4.1 servers. You can complete CNE exercises, try out new management configurations, or just get comfortable with NetWare's many command-line and menu utilities. WireRIP uses a menu-driven interface with built-in phone directories and support for almost all modems. In addition, WireRIP was specially designed to optimize performance in the World Wire LAB. Refer to the D:\CNE\README.CNE file for installation instructions. MCAFEE VIRUS PROTECTION Throughout this book, we will explore the deadly nature of computer viruses. More than once, we will discuss strategies for preventing and destroying them. One of the best solutions is provided by McAfee Associates, the leader in virus-protection technology. In order to save your LAN from infection, we have included McAfee's latest workstation and server virus-prevention products on the CD-ROM. It's up to you to use them. Refer to the D:\CNE\README.CNE file for installation instructions. Also, there are McAfee documentation files in the VIRUS subdirectory. Refer to these text files for more information. Please follow my networking tools motto: Use it or lose it!
