Please read the following release notes related to the Client/Gateway Service for NetWare(R). This release is for Windows NT 3.1 only. Do not attempt to install it on a Windows NT 3.5 system. Product Description =================== The Client (or Gateway) Service for NetWare provides connectivity to NetWare Servers. On a Windows NT computer, this software is automatically installed as the Client Service. On a Windows NT Advanced Server computer it is installed as the Gateway Service. The Gateway Service allows resharing of NetWare resources in addition to all the functionality available in the Client Service. Installation ============ If you have an existing installation of the Client or Gateway Service for NetWare (previously known as NetWare Compatible Workstation) you should remove this older installation and restart your computer before installing the Client or Gateway Service for NetWare. When installing the software, you must select " Requires disk from manufacturer" from the list of options in the Add Network Software dialog. Please ensure you have at minimum installed Windows NT Service Pack 1 before installing the Client or Gateway Service for NetWare. If you install Service Pack 2 after you install this service, you should remove and reinstall the Client/Gateway Service for NetWare. If you install later Service Packs (2B and up), you do not need to perform this step. Microsoft recommends that you have at least Service Pack 2. Caveats ======= Because of the change in the product name, your persistent (remembered) connections made by an earlier version of this software will not be restored correctly. Please delete and remake those connections. You will also need to recreate any gateway shares made by an earlier version of this software. If you use this software in conjunction with Oracle Office, you will need to add a DWORD value to the registry key: SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\NWLINKIPX\PARAMETERS The value name is "RouterMtu" and it should be set to 534 decimal. Setting this registry value may also be needed for other NLMs that use SPX to talk to the Windows NT computer. When configuring a Print Gateway, it is recommended that you restart the computer before printing to it. You may also experience problems accessing NetWare resources via the Gateway if the NetWare server is stopped and restarted. If so, stopping and restarting the Gateway Service will correct the problem. Windows NT 3.5 ============== If you accidentally try to install this sofware on a Windows NT 3.5 system, the install will fail. However, a ???.INF file will be left in your Windows NT 3.5 directory that may cause problems. This file will be dated 5/18/94, 1:30pm and will have a name that begins with OEMNSV followed by a number. Please delete this file. 16 bit Windows NetWare aware applications ========================================= Applications that include 4.x specific APIs are not supported. Wall Data Rumba for the Mainframe has been tested to work with this release. In addition to NWIPXSPX.DLL, the software requires the TSR, WDNOVTSR. This TSR must be added to AUTOEXEC.NT. See the documentation on running 16 bit applications for additional information.
