Novell Networks 14. PC-NFS 15. TCS 10Net or DCA 10Net 1. Setup referred you to the NETWORKS.TXT file =============================================== If Setup displayed the "You have specified that your computer is connected to a network" screen, your computer might be running an older version of network software that is incompatible with MS-DOS 6.22. For more information, see the section in this file that addresses your network software. If you don't find instructions on making your network compatible with MS-DOS 6.22, obtain an upgrade of your network software from your network vendor, install the upgraded network files, and then run MS-DOS 6.22 Setup again. After you have upgraded your network software, when Setup displays the "You have specified that your computer is connected to a network" screen, choose the Continue option. Your network should work correctly with MS-DOS 6.22. 2. 3+Share ========== If your network software is 3+Share 1.6 or earlier, and you previously upgaded to MS-DOS 5.0, your current version of the 3+Share redirector will work with MS-DOS 6.22. After you install MS-DOS 6.22, type the following at the command prompt, and restart your computer: SETVER MSREDIR.EXE 5.0 If you do not have the redirector included with MS-DOS 5.0, obtain the redirector by ordering the Supplemental disks or by downloading the disks from the Microsoft Product Support Download Service (MSDL). For more information, see the coupon at the back of the MICROSOFT MS-DOS USER'S GUIDE. After you obtain the redirector, follow the instructions in the NET.TXT file on the Supplemental disks. 3. Arcnet systems ================= If your network uses Arcnet hardware, you might need to run the Microsoft Diagnostics (MSD) program by using the MSD /I command. If you must use the /I switch, do not choose the Networks option in MSD. 4. Artisoft LANtastic ===================== If you are using any version of Artisoft LANtastic, shut down the LANtastic server before you run MS-DOS 6.22 Setup. There is no need to shut down the redirector. Artisoft LANtastic versions 3.02 and higher are compatible with MS-DOS 6.22. If you are using a LANtastic version earlier than 2.5, contact your network vendor for an update. If you are using LANtastic versions 2.5 through 3.01, carry out the following procedure To update LANtastic versions 2.5 through 3.01: 1. Shut down the LANtastic server. You can leave the redirector running. 2. Set up MS-DOS 6.22 on your computer. For more information about installing MS-DOS 6.22, see the chapter "Getting Started" in the MICROSOFT MS-DOS USER'S GUIDE. If MS-DOS displays an "Incorrect DOS version" message when your network restarts, ignore it. 3. Type the following command at the command prompt: SETVER SERVER.EXE 4.00 4. Restart your computer. If you are using EMM386, you might need to exclude the memory area used by the network adapter card. To do this, use the X switch with the DEVICE command for EMM386.EXE in your CONFIG.SYS file. If you are using the factory-set defaults for the LANtastic 2Mbps adapter, include the X=D800-DFFF switch with the DEVICE command for EMM386.EXE. If this memory region is not excluded, you might experience problems with programs that use expanded memory. NOTE Microsoft Defragmenter is incompatible with LANtastic network software if the server service is loaded. If only the redirector is loaded, Microsoft Defragmenter is compatible with LANtastic network software. 5. AT&T StarGroup (non-LAN Manager) =================================== If your network software is AT&T StarGroup, run MS-DOS 6.22 Setup. When Setup displays the "You have specified that your computer is connected to a network" screen, choose Continue, and follow the instructions on your screen. If you cannot run your network software after running Setup, carry out the following procedure: 1. Type the following commands at the command prompt: SETVER SETUP.EXE 4.00 SETVER ATTSTART.EXE 4.00 2. Restart your computer. 3. Use your StarGroup installation disks to remove the existing network software from your computer. 4. Reinstall StarGroup. When the StarGroup installation prompts you to indicate which version of MS-DOS you are using, choose MS-DOS version 4.0. 6. Banyan VINES =============== Banyan VINES versions 4.1 and higher are compatible with MS-DOS 6.22. You can use Banyan VINES version 4.0x with MS-DOS 6.22 if you have the REDIRALL.EXE or REDIR4.EXE file in the BANYAN directory on your hard disk. If neither file is on your hard disk, but you have the VINES installation disks that include one of these files, copy the file to the directory on your hard disk that contains your network files. If the files are not on your hard disk or on the VINES installation disks, contact your network vendor. If you have a VINES version earlier than 4.0, contact your network vendor for an update. NOTE In some cases, Banyan VINES is incompatible with MemMaker. For example, if your network software loads multiple components into different UMB regions, MemMaker may not work correctly on your computer. 7. DEC Pathworks and PCSA ========================= If you have DEC PATHWORKS for DOS version 4.1, carry out the following procedure: 1. If you are upgrading from MS-DOS version 3.3 or earlier, update your redirector file, REDIR.EXE. Obtain REDIR.400 from the PATHWORKS disks or system service, rename it to REDIR.EXE, and place it in your DECNET directory. 2. Install MS-DOS 6.22 on your computer. For more information about installing MS-DOS 6.22, see the chapter "Getting Started" in the MS-DOS USER'S GUIDE. Version 4.0 of PATHWORKS for DOS is compatible with MS-DOS 6.22. However, you must carry out the following procedure to achieve this compatibility. To update PATHWORKS version 4.0: 1. If you are upgrading from MS-DOS version 3.3 or earlier, update your redirector file, REDIR.EXE. Obtain REDIR.400 from the PATHWORKS disks or system service, rename it to REDIR.EXE, and place it in your DECNET directory. 2. Install MS-DOS 6.22 on your computer. For more information about installing MS-DOS 6.22, see the chapter "Getting Started" in the MS-DOS USER'S GUIDE. 3. Restart your computer, but do not yet run STARTNET.BAT, which starts the network. 4. Type each of the following lines at the command prompt: SETVER USE.EXE 4.00 SETVER MEMMAN.EXE 4.00 SETVER LAD.EXE 4.00 SETVER SHOW.EXE 4.00 SETVER NETSETUP.EXE 4.00 5. Restart your computer, and run STARTNET.BAT. NOTE If you upgrade to PATHWORKS 4.1 from PATHWORKS 4.0, you must disable the SETVER commands you typed in this procedure. To do this after you install PATHWORKS 4.1, type the same commands, but replace the 4.00 with /D in each command. If you are using a version of PATHWORKS or PCSA earlier than 4.0, contact your network vendor for an update. Meanwhile, if you are using PATHWORKS or PCSA version 3.x, you can start using MS-DOS 6.22 by carrying out the following procedure. NOTE To get support for MS-DOS Task Swapper, use PATHWORKS for DOS version 4.1 or later. To temporarily update PATHWORKS or PCSA version 3.x: 1. If you are upgrading from MS-DOS version 3.3 or earlier, update your redirector file, REDIR.EXE. Obtain REDIR.400 from the PATHWORKS disks or system service, rename it to REDIR.EXE, and place it in your DECNET directory. 2. Install MS-DOS 6.22 on your computer. For more information about installing MS-DOS 6.22, see the chapter "Getting Started" in the MICROSOFT MS-DOS USER'S GUIDE.
