ISSUE/PROBLEM
Windows 3.0 Compatibility
This section contains information about using NetWare Lite with
Windows 3.0. Follow the suggestions outlined below to operate
your Windows 3.0 environment.
Network vs. Local Installation of Windows
Install Windows locally, do not attempt to install it from a
Network Directory. Follow the regular installation procedures
using Windows diskettes. Windows INSTALL may indicate the
presence of a "Microsoft Network (or 100% compatible)" network,
change this selection to "No Network Installed".
Before Entering Windows
It is suggested that you set up your NetWare Lite environment
before running Windows. Such operations include: logging into
the network, mapping drives, and capturing ports.
Mapping Drives
If a server to which you have mapped a drive goes down, Windows
will display a message indicating that the drive does not contain
any files. Any attempt to access that drive will fail. Under
regular DOS, this error is trapped and the client saves enough
information to automatically restore the connection to that
network directory when the downed server returns to the network.
Windows prevents regular DOS from trapping this error. To
restore connections to your mapped drive, exit Windows and
re-issue the NET MAP command when the server is back on the
network.
Printing
Use the NET CAPTURE command described in your NetWare Lite user
manual to re-direct printing from your LPT1 or LPT2 ports to a
network printer before you enter Windows. Configure your printer
in Windows to either the LPT1.OS2 or LPT2.OS2 ports depending on
which port you captured before entering Windows. Workstations
that are configured as both server and client should use LPT1.OS2
or LPT2.OS2 to print from Windows.
Local Network Printers
Once a printer is assigned as a Network Printer, you should only
access that printer through the network. You may have a printer
attached to your workstation that has been defined as a Network
Printer. In this case, you should capture a port when you wish
to print to it. If you print to it directly (not using capture),
you may cause print job corruption.
NetWare Lite Messages
Messages sent to network users through NetWare Lite will only
appear when you open a DOS prompt or exit Windows.
