ISSUE/PROBLEM
IPXODI verses IPX
IPXODI
The IPX shipped with NetWare Lite (IPXODI) is not new and is not special
to NetWare Lite. Novell has made a general decision to convert from
"linked" IPX to IPXODI.
IPXODI is functionally identical to the linked version of IPX, but the
LSL (which is run with IPXODI) offers multiple-protocol and MLID
capabilities. NetWare Lite can be run on top of either (but not both)
linked IPX or IPXODI. STARTNET.BAT, which is created as part of the
NetWare Lite installation, loads LSL, (the odi driver) and IPXODI by
default, as follows:
LSL
<ODI Driver> (i.e. NE2000)
IPXODI A
Linked IPX
A linked IPX can be used in place of the ODI drivers. It is generated
using WSGEN.EXE which can be found on Compuserve.
CompuServe
A free CompuServe membership can be obtained by dialing (800)848-8199 in
the U.S. and (614)457-0802 outside the U.S. (ask for Representative 200).
CompuServe will provide NetWare Lite users with fifteen dollars worth of
credit toward online services at no charge.
To get WSGEN files from CompuServe, do the follow procedure:
1. Type GO NSD
2. Get the password from someone at Novell technical support
(900)454-5483.
3. After you are in NSD, download WSGEN.ZIP. (This ZIP file contains
the NetWare Lite patches.)
Note: You must know the name of the file that you are going to download
because CompuServe does not give you a list of files that can be
downloaded.
Note: You must have PKUNZIP.EXE to unzip WSGEN.ZIP. If you do not
have PKUNZIP.EXE, you can get it from CompuServe. It is located
inside PKZ110.EXE, which is another file that must be downloaded.
a. To download PKZ110.EXE, create a directory called PKZIP (either
on floppy diskette or on your hard drive).
b. Go to library 15 of NOVLIB and download PKZ110.EXE.
c. Then, move PKZ110.EXE into the PKZIP directory.
d. Type PKZ110
PKZ110.EXE will create PKUNZIP.EXE (and other programs that can
be used for archiving functions).
4. When you have PKUNZIP.EXE, you can unzip WSGEN.ZIP.
5. Put WSGEN.ZIP into the PKZIP directory.
6. Next, type the following:
PKUNZIP WSGEN.ZIP <path where you want the files to be
copied to>
Example: "PKUNZIP WSGEN.ZIP C:\WSGEN"
The WSGEN files will be copied to the directory that you specify.
Novell recommends that you copy them to a floppy diskette. This
way, you will have a copy of the patches in a distinct and
identifiable place.
Using WSGEN
1. You must have a *.OBJ file and a *.LAN file that is card specific to
generate an IPX.
2. Put these files into a separate directory on your hard drive called
\WSGEN.
3. Copy the WSGEN.EXE file into this directory. Run WSGEN from the
ROOT DIRECTORY by typing the following:
\WSGEN\WSGEN
4. Follow the directions to generate a linked IPX.
Using a Linked IPX
If a linked IPX is being loaded (like in your AUTOEXEC.BAT), then LSL,
the ODI driver, and IPXODI should be taken out of the STARTNET.BAT file.
