This file provides important information not included in the &quot;Microsoft Getting Started&quot; manual, the &quot;Microsoft MS-DOS User's Guide and Reference,&quot; the &quot;Windows User's Guide&quot; or in online Help. Specifically, this file addresses problems with updating networks.

For information about other files and documentation, see the &quot;Welcome&quot; section of &quot;Getting Started.&quot;

Caution: If you use a network, read the information about your network in this file BEFORE installing Windows 3.1 and MS DOS 5.0.

Note: This file contains information which should be used if     you are upgrading to both MS-DOS 5 and Windows 3.1. If     for some reason you are upgrading only to Windows, see the NETWORKS.WRI file. For the location of the file, see the PACKING.LST file on Setup disk 1.

1. Introduction

If you use a network, you might need to update one or more files on your hard disk before you set up Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS 5.0 on your computer. This file contains basic information about upgrading networks which is appropriate for someone with experience setting up networks and personal computers. If you do not have this experience, you should get someone who does to help you ensure your network software is compatible with Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS 5.0.

In many cases, there are separate network files which may need updating to support MS-DOS vs. Windows 3.1. Thus, you should find the section of this document which pertains to the network you have and read the entire section once before trying to do anything. In many sections, there may be a subsection for the Windows procedure and a subsection for the MS-DOS procedure.

There are new versions of files for many widely used networks included with this package of Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS. To make these networks compatible with Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS 5.0, follow the procedure outlined for your network to install the appropriate file (or files) on your hard disk. For some networks, the network vendor should supply the necessary files.

Important: To find which Setup Disk has a specific file, use any text editor to open the PACKING.LST file on Setup Disk 1 and then search for the filename.

In general, if you are using a network:

o Check the list in Chapter 1, &quot;Upgrading from a Previous Version of DOS to Windows and MS-DOS,&quot; of &quot;Getting Started&quot; to determine whether your network needs to be updated.

o Follow the procedures in this file to update your network files.

o If you have trouble after updating, see &quot;Getting Started&quot; for possible solutions.

You need to be familiar with the following tasks to successfully carry out the procedures in this file:

o Using MS-DOS to change drives and directories

o Working with network software

o Searching a disk for a file

o Searching a file for text

o Editing a text file

o Renaming or backing up files

o Working with paths

o Identifying when a file was created

3.  General Notes

o There are many settings in the SYSTEM.INI file that affect the way Windows interacts with a network. You can change these settings to correct most problems you might have operating Windows with your network. See the SYSINI.WRI online document for information about changing the following SYSTEM.INI settings:

[Boot] Network.drv=

[Standard] Int28Filter= NetHeapSize=

[386Enh] AllVMsExclusive= EMMExclude= FileSysChange= InDOSPolling= Int28Critical= NetAsyncFallback= NetAsyncTimeout= NetDMASize= NetHeapSize= Network= PSPIncrement= ReflectDOSInt2A= TimerCriticalSection= TokenRingSearch= UniqueDOSPSP=

o Many networks require the TimerCriticalSection entry in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file to be set to a value of 10000 or greater. For more information, see the SYSINI.WRI file.

o The default value for the NetHeapSize entry in the [Standard] section of the SYSTEM.INI file is 8K. Although some applications require this value, in most cases you can decrease the value to 4K in order to increase the amount of memory available to your applications. A few applications require the value to be 4K.

o If for some reason you use Setup to change your network configuration after you have already set up Windows, Setup might not remove all support for your previous network selection. Unnecessary files might be left in your Windows directory, and entries might be left in your WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI files that could harm your system's performance. If you change your network configuration, check the notes about both your previous and new selections to see if any previous entries are no longer required.

o Some network adapter cards require the ExcludeHighRegion (or EMMExclude) entry in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file to be set to the memory range used by the card. For more information, see your network-adapter documentation and the SYSINI.WRI file.

These cards may also require an X= option on the EMM386 command line in your CONFIG.SYS file. For more information, see chapter 14, &quot;Optimizing Windows,&quot; in the &quot;Microsoft Windows User's Guide.&quot;

o Some network cards and some network transport stacks require special handling. Consult the following sections not only for the manufacturer of your network but also for the manufacturer of your network adapter and your transport stack.

o Many networks have pop-up message facilities that allow you to see messages sent from other servers or workstations. In most cases, these pop-up programs will cause the Windows part of Setup to fail if a message is received while setting up. Many networks provide additional utilities that allow them to work with Windows once Windows is set up, but these are generally not available during Setup. You should make sure any such pop- up service is disabled before setting up Windows. Please consult specific entries regarding your network in the following sections, or consult your network documentation for instructions.

o If you configured your remote-boot workstation to run Windows version 3.0, you may be loading a program called RIPLMEM.EXE or RPLMEM.EXE in your AUTOEXEC.BAT. This program is no longer required for running Windows version 3.1.

o The Windows Resource Kit for the Microsoft Windows Operating System Version 3.1 contains additional information about setting up and configuring Windows for use with a network, and information for system administrators. This kit provides complete technical information about Windows version 3.1 for the support professional. It includes a technical reference manual, and a disk containing helpful utilities, system resource viewers, drivers, and accessories.

To order the Windows Resource Kit within the United States, dial:

1-800-642-7676

To order outside of the United States, dial the phone number for your area. You can find this number on the International Subsidiary card.

o If you are running a shared copy of Windows from a network drive, make sure both your personal Windows directory and the shared network directory are included on the PATH command line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

o If you receive sharing violations while running a shared copy of Windows, make sure that all of the files in the shared network directory are marked as read-only.

o If you have problems running a shared copy of Windows, remove the MS-DOS SHARE command from your system. With some networks, the MS-DOS SHARE utility must not be loaded on a workstation to run a shared copy of Windows.

o If you have problems and your network software is loaded high (in the upper memory area between 640K and 1 MB), try loading the network in conventional memory.

o Windows Print Manager spools print jobs to the location specified by the MS-DOS environment variable TEMP. If TEMP is not set, Print Manager will use the root of drive C. For diskless workstations, set the TEMP variable either to  a RAM disk or to the location of a network directory (you  must have full access to this directory). The TEMP variable may be set by placing a SET TEMP= statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file or network login script. For example, to spool to the network directory X:\USERNAME\WINUSER\TEMP, you would use the statement SET TEMP=x:\username\winuser\temp. Each user must have a personal TEMP directory.

o On some diskless workstations, you will not be able to start Windows in standard mode unless you have a TEMP environment variable set or you have added a swapdisk entry in the [NonWindowsApp] section of the SYSTEM.INI file. For more information about the swapdisk entry, see the SYSINI.WRI file.

o If you are running a peer-to-peer network, you may not be able to format a floppy disk by using File Manager. You can use the FORMAT command at the MS-DOS prompt instead.

o Some networks ship with their own copies of files that are included with Windows version 3.1. Usually Windows includes a newer version, and upgrades the one provided with the network when you run Setup. However, if you install the network after installing Windows 3.1, some network installation programs will overwrite the newer file provided with Windows with their own, older version. This older version may lack features provided in the newer version, or it may not function properly with Windows 3.1. You should back up your network and Windows files before upgrading your network software. If problems occur, you may need to restore the previous version of some files.

o If you use the MS-DOS Shell, note that most network software won't work correctly if you start it from an MS-DOS Shell command prompt. Start your network before starting MS-DOS Shell.

o You can install both Windows and MS-DOS from a network share point. To do so, carry out the following procedure:

1. Make sure your network is running with at least one server and one client.

2. Restart the client computer by inserting Setup disk 1 into drive A, and pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL.

3. Press ENTER at the Welcome screen. Then, at the next screen, press F3 twice to quit Setup.

4. Create an INSTALL directory on the hard drive and make the drive current by typing the following at the command prompt:

c:    md install cd install

5. Copy all the files on the disk to the INSTALL directory by typing the following at the command prompt:

copy a:\*.* c:\install

6. Insert each of the remaining Setup disks and copy all the files to the INSTALL directory.

7. Expand the ATTRIB.EX_ file by typing the following at the command prompt:

expand attrib.ex_ attrib.exe

8. Insert Setup disk 1 into drive A.

9. Remove the attributes from the IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS files by typing the following at the command prompt:

attrib -h -s -r a:\io.sys attrib -h -s -r a:\msdos.sys

10. Copy the IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS files to the INSTALL directory by typing the following at the command prompt:

copy a:\io.sys c:\intall copy a:\msdos.sys c:\install

11. Delete the ATTRIB.EXE file in the INSTALL directory by typing the following at the command prompt:

del c:\install\attrib.exe

12. Remove Setup disk 1 from drive A, and restart your computer by typing CTRL+ALT+DEL.

13. Connect to the network and create a directory called DOSWIN on the network drive.

14. Run Setup by typing the following at the command prompt:

c:\install\setup /a

15. Follow the directions on your screen.

16. To install Windows and MS-DOS on a client computer from the network share point, connect to the network drive and run Setup by typing the following at the command prompt:

dwsetup

17. Follow the instructions on your screen.

o If you have copied the Windows and MS-DOS files to a network share point by typing &quot;setup /a,&quot; and you want to run Windows from the network on a client computer, make sure you set up MS-DOS 5.0 only on the client computer before you type &quot;setup /n.&quot;

4. Novell NetWare

Note: The procedures for Microsoft Windows 3.1 and MS- DOS 5.0 are integrated in this section.

Additional Notes at Press Time:

NetWare Shell Version (NETX.COM):

The NetWare workstation shell software is Novell's    basic DOS shell and is included with MS-DOS 5.0. You may require a different shell for a specific application. Contact your authorized Novell reseller if you believe another shell may be needed. EMSNET5.EXE and XMSNET5.EXE, alternate shells, are available from Novell.

Novell Remote Workstations (RPLFIX.COM): If you can't load MS-DOS 5.0 on your remote-boot workstation, contact Novell for the RPLFIX.COM file.

Drive Mapping Utilities: If you run LOGIN.EXE, MAP.EXE, and SESSION.EXE from MS- DOS Shell or while MS-DOS Shell is running, a search path is not added to the existing path. Use these programs before starting MS-DOS Shell.

TBMI2.COM and Task Swapper: If you can't use Task Swapper in MS-DOS Shell when running a Novell network, do the following: 1. Expand and copy the IPX.OB_ and TBMI2.CO_ files to       your hard disk. If your AUTOEXEC.BAT file has a       command that loads the NET3.COM or NET4.COM file, expand and copy the file from the Setup disk to       the hard drive.

See the PACKING.LST file on Setup disk 1 for the location of the files and for instructions on how to use the EXPAND command.

2. Use the IPX.OBJ file to create a new IPX.COM file. For information about creating an IPX.COM file, see your Novell documentation.

3. Start your network, using the new IPX.COM and NETX.COM files.

4. Start TBMI2.COM.

5. Start the application that may be causing problems with Task Swapper. Run the application and then exit.

6. Display diagnostic information by typing the following: tbmi2 /d

7. If the value in the field named Far Call Usage is       not 0, you need to run TBMI2.COM before using Task Swapper.

To get help with TBMI2.COM, type the following: tbmi2 /?

The default configuration for TBMI2.COM is correct for most applications. If you need help configuring the program, contact Novell.

The Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS 5.0 Upgrade includes updated versions of several Novell NetWare files that are required to run with Windows 3.1. If you are running Novell NetWare, the Windows part of Setup will copy the following files to the SYSTEM subdirectory of your Windows directory (or the shared network directory if you set up a shared copy of Windows by using setup /n):

NETX.COM (version 3.26) IPX.OBJ (version 3.10) TBMI2.COM (version 2.1) IPXODI.COM (version 1.20) LSL.COM (version 1.21)

Before running Windows you may need to do the following:

o Replace your current NetWare shell with the NETX.COM provided (if your current NetWare shell is older than the version provided). Windows 3.1 requires that the NetWare shell components on your workstation (such as NETX.COM) be version 3.01 or higher. You can use these shell components even if your servers are running older versions of NetWare (as early as NetWare 2.10).

Your current shell may have one of the following names:

NET3.COM       XMSNET3.EXE     EMSNET3.EXE NET4.COM       XMSNET4.EXE     EMSNET4.EXE NETX.COM       XMSNET5.EXE     EMSNET5.EXE NETX.COM       XMSNETX.EXE     EMSNETX.EXE

NETX.COM will run on MS-DOS versions 3.1 or higher. The EMS and XMS versions of the shell are available from your Novell dealer.

Note: The EMS NetWare shells (EMSNETX.EXE, etc.) are not supported when Windows is running in 386 enhanced mode.

If you have a NetWare version earlier than 2.1, contact your network vendor for an update.

To update the NETX command for NetWare versions 3.11 or earlier:

1. Expand and copy the NETX.CO_ file to your network directory. See the PACKING.LST file on Setup disk 1 for the location of  the files and for instructions on how to use the EXPAND command.

2. Replace the network startup command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file with the NETX command.

After you complete the procedure, set up MS-DOS 5.0 on your computer. For information about installing MS-DOS 5.0, see &quot;Getting Started.&quot;

Note: If you use any programs specific to Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX), such as NVER, SYSCON, and RCONSOLE, you need to take additional steps to run these programs with MS-DOS Task Swapper. For more information about running these programs with MS-DOS Task Swapper, see the README.TXT file. See the PACKING.LST file on Setup disk 1 for the location of     the README.TXT file.

o If you are running Novell IPXODI.COM and LSL.COM, you need to upgrade these to versions 1.20 or higher. Use the files provided with Windows and copy them from the SYSTEM subdirectory of your Windows directory (or your shared network directory) to the directory where your existing versions are located.

o To run Windows in standard mode, load the TBMI2.COM memory- resident utility when running Windows. Novell recommends that you create a batch file that will load this utility, start Windows, and then unload the utility when you quit Windows. The batch file could be named RUNWIN.BAT and look like this:

TBMI2 WIN TBMI2 /U

TBMI2 enables you to safely run applications that use the NetWare IPX and SPX functions in standard mode Windows or the MS-DOS 5.0 task switcher.

o If you are running Novell IPX.COM, create a new version using the IPX.OBJ file. For information about creating an IPX.COM file, see your Novell documentation.

In addition:

o If you enable 32-bit disk access and you are running the XMS shell rather than one of the standard NetWare shells (NETX.COM, etc.), you can further improve performance by setting the OverlappedIO entry in the [386Enh] section of  your SYSTEM.INI file to On.

o Do not try to log in, log out, attach, or detach a Novell server from the MS-DOS Prompt within Windows. You should log in before starting Windows, and attach or detach servers by using File Manager or the Printers option in Control Panel.

o If you experience problems starting applications while running Windows or Windows applications from a file server, make sure you are not running the MS-DOS SHARE utility. Current versions of the NetWare shell are not fully compatible with SHARE.

o If you have a Western Digital Ethercard Plus and have problems accessing drives by using the MAP ROOT command, contact Western Digital for an updated driver.

o By default, NetWare gives you access to only 40 files at a time. When you are running applications with Windows, you can exceed this limit rather quickly. If so, you might see unexpected error messages. To increase the file access limit, add the following line to your SHELL.CFG file:

file handles = 60

You should also add the following to your CONFIG.SYS file:

files = 60

o If you get unusable output when printing to a NetWare server (such as incorrect fonts, garbled text, invalid page breaks, or blank lines), you may need to edit your print-job configuration. Try using the NetWare PRINTCON utility to set the Auto Endcap and Enable Timeout options to No.

o When running Windows in 386 enhanced mode, swapping to a drive on a NetWare 286 server might make starting Windows take up to a minute. See Chapter 14, &quot;Optimizing Windows,&quot; in the &quot;Microsoft Windows User's Guide&quot; for information about controlling the location of your swap file.

o A NetWare file server does not include the directory entries dot (.) and double dot (..) as MS-DOS does. However, the NetWare shell (version 3.01 or higher) can emulate these entries when applications attempt to list the files in a directory. If you have problems listing files or deleting directories, turning on the Show Dots feature will help. Add the following line to your SHELL.CFG file:

show dots = on

Turning on Show Dots will cause problems with earlier versions of some 286-based NetWare utilities, such as BINDFIX.EXE and MAKEUSER.EXE. Make sure you upgrade these utilities if you upgrade your NetWare shell. For more information, contact your Novell dealer.

o Redirected drives can look different in Windows than they did without Windows. For example, a device mapped as FileServerName/Volume:Directory will appear in Windows as  FileServerName/Volume:\, showing the root of the file server's shared volume, rather than the subdirectory you expected. You can correct this with the MAP ROOT entry explained in the following information.

o In some cases, Windows applications may change the default directory on a drive. This might cause problems if, for example, your path includes the current directory on a network drive (that is, your path includes a drive letter  without a specific directory, such as z: instead of  z:\system).

You can prevent this problem by using MAP.EXE and LOGIN.EXE versions 3.0 and later to set up fake roots, or by choosing the MAP ROOT function when mapping a  connection in File Manager. This feature simulates the MS-DOS SUBST command, which sets the root of a given drive to a directory designated by the user instead of to the true root of the volume.

For example, suppose you normally mapped drive F to the HOME\TERRI directory on the COUNT\SYS volume, and then included F: in your path. You would do this by including the following command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file or by typing the command before starting Windows:

map f:=count\sys:home\terri

The default directory on drive F would then be HOME\TERRI. To prevent Windows from changing this, you would replace the command above with the one shown below:

map root f:=count\sys:home\terri

This command would make the directory HOME\TERRI appear to be the root drive F.

o If you are running Windows in 386 enhanced mode, you can adjust the way Windows handles your network drive mappings by using the Network option in Control Panel.

Normally, when you quit Windows, all of your drive mappings are restored to the way they were before you started Windows, and all changes you made inside Windows are lost. If you clear the Restore Drives option, the mappings you made inside Windows will remain when you quit Windows.

Typically, each instance of the MS-DOS Prompt you start from Windows has its own set of drive mappings. Changes you make in one instance do not affect another. If you set the NWShareHandles option, drive mappings will instead be global, and changes made in one instance of the MS-DOS Prompt will affect all other applications. If you are running a NetWare 286 server, setting NWShareHandles increases the number of workstations that can be connected to the server before the server runs out of available connections.

See the Help available in the Network dialog box in Control Panel for more information on these options.

o When setting up Windows for use with Novell NetWare, the following entry is added to the [windows] section of your WIN.INI file:

load=nwpopup.exe

This automatically starts the NetWare pop-up utility, which displays your incoming broadcast messages.

o If you are running Novell NetBIOS, you may need to specify TimerCriticalSection=10000 in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file.

o If you have applications or files that use extended characters (ASCII characters above 128) and you have problems viewing or using them, try adding the following line to your SHELL.CFG file:

special uppercase = on

o When connecting or disconnecting network resources from File Manager, Print Manager, or Control Panel, pay attention to the state of the Permanent check box. If this option is checked when you make a connection, the connection is automatically made each time you restart Windows. To stop reconnecting, disconnect with the Permanent option checked. If the option is not checked when you disconnect, the connection is removed for the current Windows session, but is reconnected when you restart Windows.

5.  Banyan VINES

5.1. MS-DOS Procedure

Banyan VINES version 4.1 is compatible with MS-DOS 5.0. You can use Banyan VINES version 4.0x with MS-DOS 5.0 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 network files.

If the files are not on either your hard disk or the VINES installation disks, contact your Banyan VINES network vendor.

If you have a VINES version earlier than 4.0, contact your network vendor for an update.

Note: If you are upgrading from MS-DOS version 4.x, you do not need to update your network files.

5.2. Windows Procedure

Setup will correctly handle the following Banyan VINES versions:

o Banyan VINES 4.0 is compatible with Microsoft Network and will be handled as such by Windows.

o Banyan VINES 4.1 and later come with additional Windows components, which are installed when you set up Windows for use with Banyan VINES 4.1.

See the following sections for information about running these versions of VINES with Windows.

Note: You should start VINES and log in before starting Windows. Banyan does not support logging in while Windows is running. If you start Windows when the network is not loaded or you are not logged in, you will receive one or more error messages indicating that you will not be able to use VINES functions from within Windows.

5.2.1. Banyan VINES 4.0x

When you set up Windows for use with Banyan VINES 4.0x, the following entries are added to the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file:

TimerCriticalSection=5000 UniqueDOSPSP=TRUE PSPIncrement=5

See SYSINI.WRI for more information on these settings.

o To use Windows printing functions with VINES 4.0, you must have VINES 4.00(5) or later and must have the NetBIOS support loaded. If you cannot print to a network printer, ask your network administrator to verify that you are loading NetBIOS and that you are running the proper version of VINES.

o If you are running VINES 4.0 with Windows running in 386 enhanced mode and want to run non-Windows applications that use NetBIOS, you must install VINES 4.00(5) or later. In addition, you will need to start NetBIOS before starting Windows.

If you start VINES NetBIOS support before starting Windows in standard mode, you may not be able to start any non- Windows applications. If you have this problem, load NetBIOS from within Windows, or contact your Banyan dealer for more information.

o Versions below site-specific patch 0H will not support Windows running in 386 enhanced mode.

o If you are running VINES version 4.0x and you have a problem with print jobs that time-out intermittently, you can either update to VINES 4.1x, or use the VINES SETPRINT utility to remove the timeout on your printer port by specifying the following:

SETPRINT lptn servicename /D:INFINITE

Lptn is the printer port, and servicename is the name of the network print queue.

5.2.2. Banyan VINES 4.1x

When you set up Windows for use with Banyan VINES 4.1, the following entries are added to the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file:

Network=*dosnet, *vnetbios, vvinesd.386 TimerCriticalSection=5000 UniqueDOSPSP=TRUE PSPIncrement=5

See SYSINI.WRI for more information on these settings.

In addition:

o If you are running VINES 4.10 or 4.11 (below 4.11(5)) and you have problems printing, you may need to upgrade your VINES.DRV. This driver is available from Banyan.

o If you are running Banyan VINES 4.10 or 4.11, you do not need to load NetBIOS unless you are running NetBIOS- specific applications. (It is not required for printing, as it is with VINES 4.0x.)

If you are running version 4.10 and you want to run NetBIOS-specific applications with Windows running in 386 enhanced mode, you must start NetBIOS before starting Windows. However, you can only run a single NetBIOS application at a time.

If you are running version 4.11, you can load NetBIOS either before starting Windows or after starting Windows in 386 enhanced mode.

If you want to run NetBIOS with Windows running in standard mode, you must load NetBIOS from within Windows. If you load NetBIOS before starting Windows, you will not be able to start any non-Windows applications.

For more information on running memory-resident applications after starting Windows, see Chapter 7, &quot;Non- Windows Applications,&quot; in the &quot;Microsoft Windows User's Guide.&quot;

6.  Microsoft LAN Manager and 100-Percent Compatible Networks

6.1. MS-DOS Procedure

Follow the procedures in this section if you are using one of the following networks:

o Microsoft LAN Manager, version 2.1 or earlier

o 3Com 3+Open, versions 1.1 through 2.0

o Hewlett-Packard LAN Manager, version A.02.00 or earlier

o NCR LAN Manager, all versions

o Olivetti Olinet-LM, version 2.0 or earlier

o Ungermann-Bass Net/One LM, versions 1.1 through 2.0

The updating procedure differs, depending on which version of LAN Manager you are using. Follow the instructions for the version you have. If you are not sure which version you have, see the following section.

6.1.1. Determining Which Version You Are Using

To determine which version you are using, type the following at the command prompt:

net config workstation

If you see information about your configuration, you have an Enhanced version. This information indicates whether you have Enhanced version 2.x or Enhanced version 1.x.

If you receive an error message when you type the command, you have a Basic version. To find out whether you have Basic version 2.x or Basic version 1.x, check the creation dates of the files in your LAN Manager directory (typically C:\\LANMAN.DOS\BASIC). If the files are dated before July 1990, you have version 1.x. Files dated after July 1990 are typically version 2.0; files dated after July 1991 are typically version 2.1.

Note: If you installed 3Com 3+Share with minimal NetBIOS implementation, do one of the following: - Reinstall with a complete NetBIOS implementation. - Copy the REDIR.400 file to replace the MSREDIR.EXE file on your hard disk. - Call Microsoft Sales Information Center (MSIC) and request the LAN Manager 2.0 supplemental disk; see your registration card for the phone number.

6.1.2 Microsoft LAN Manager Version 2.1

No MS-DOS procedure is required for Microsoft LAN Manager Version 2.1.

6.1.3. Microsoft LAN Manager Version 2.0 Enhanced

To update LAN Manager version 2.x Enhanced, replace your current NETWKSTA.EXE and NETBEUI.DOS files with the new versions included with the Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS 5.0 Upgrade. It's a good idea to preserve your current files by renaming them with a different extension, such as .OLD or .BAK.

To update LAN Manager version 2.x Enhanced:

1. Rename the following files:

NETWKSTA.EXE (usually in C:\LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG) to  NETBEUI.DOS (usually in C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTOCOL\NETBEUI)

2. Copy the EXPAND.EXE file on Setup disk 1 to the DOS directory on the hard drive.

3. Open the PACKING.LST file on Setup disk 1 to determine the location of the NETWKSTA.2X_ and NETBEUI.DO_ files.

4. Use the following syntax to expand and copy the new files to your network directory:

expand [drive1:]netwksta.2x_ [drive2:][path]netwksta.exe expand [drive1:]netbeui.do_ [drive2:][path]netbeui.dos

The [drive1:] parameter specifies the location of the compressed file you want to expand. The [drive2:][path] parameter specifies the destination for the expanded file.

For example, if the NETWKSTA.2X_ file is on a disk in  drive A, and your NETWKSTA.EXE file is in the LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG directory on drive C, type this at the command prompt:

expand a:\netwksta.2x_ c:\lanman.dos\netprog\netwksta.exe

Note: Do not restart your computer.

After you complete the procedure, set up MS-DOS 5.0 on your computer. For information about installing MS-DOS, see &quot;Getting Started.&quot;

For information about loading LAN Manager device drivers into the upper memory area, see the README.TXT file. For the location of the README.TXT file, see the PACKING.LST file on Setup disk 1.

Note: Do not use the MS-DOS LOADHIGH command with the LAN Manager net start command. The net start command loads the network redirector (NETWKSTA.EXE) into the upper memory area. If you do not want to load NETWKSTA.EXE into the upper memory area, add the UMB=NO command to the [workstation] section of your LANMAN.INI file.

Note: If you are running Microsoft LAN Manager 2.x     Enhanced or an OEM version of LAN Manager 2.x Enhanced, you may want to take advantage of any remaining space in the upper memory area by loading LAN Manager services such as NETPOPUP in this area. Call Microsoft Customer Service to request the LAN Manager 2.0 supplemental disk and technical notes. See your registration card for the phone number.

Note: If you are running Microsoft LAN Manager 2.x     Enhanced and get a &quot;NET3055&quot; message, do ONE of the following: o Use the RAM switch in the DEVICE command for EMM386 in your CONFIG.SYS file, and the LIM=YES command in       the [workstation] section of your LANMAN.INI file. o Use the NOEMS switch in the DEVICE command for EMM386 in your CONFIG.SYS file, and the LIM=NO command in the [workstation] section of your LANMAN.INI file.

6.1.4. Microsoft LAN Manager Version 2.x Basic

To update LAN Manager version 2.x Basic, replace your current REDIR.EXE, NET.EXE, and NETBEUI.DOS files with the new versions included with the Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS 5.0 Upgrade. It's a good idea to preserve your current files by renaming them with a different extension, such as .OLD or .BAK.

To update LAN Manager version 2.0 Basic:

1. Rename the following files:

REDIR.EXE (usually in C:\LANMAN.DOS\REDIR) NET.EXE (usually in C:\LANMAN.DOS\BASIC) NETBEUI.DOS (usually in C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTOCOL\NETBEUI)

2. Copy the EXPAND.EXE file on Setup disk 1 to the DOS directory on the hard drive.

3. Open the PACKING.LST file on Setup disk 1 to determine the location of the REDIR.2X_, NET.EX_, and NETBEUI.DO_ files.

4. Use the following syntax to expand and copy the new files to your network directory:

expand [drive1:]redir.2x_ [drive2:][path]redir.exe expand [drive1:]net.ex_ [drive2:][path]net.exe expand [drive1:]netbeui.do_ [drive2:][path]netbeui.dos

The [drive1:] parameter specifies the location of the compressed file you want to expand. The [drive2:][path] parameter specifies the destination for the expanded file.

For example, if the REDIR.2X_ file is on a disk in drive A, and your REDIR.EXE file is in the LANMAN.DOS\REDIR directory on drive C, type this at the command prompt:

expand a:\redir.2x_ c:\lanman.dos\redir\redir.exe

After you complete the procedure, set up MS-DOS 5.0 on your computer. For information about installing MS-DOS, see &quot;Getting Started.&quot;

Note: After updating your network, REDIR.EXE loads into the upper memory area. If you do not want to load REDIR.EXE into the upper memory area, add the UMB=NO command to your LANMAN.INI file. The UMB=NO command must directly follow the START RDR $1 command.

6.1.5. Microsoft LAN Manager Version 1.x Enhanced

To update LAN Manager version 1.x Enhanced, replace your current NETWKSTA.EXE file with the new version included with the Microsoft Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS 5.0 Upgrade. It's a good idea to preserve your current file by renaming it with a different extension, such as .OLD or .BAK.

To update LAN Manager version 1.x Enhanced:

1. Rename the following file:

NETWKSTA.EXE (usually in C:\LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG)

2. Copy the EXPAND.EXE file on Setup disk 1 to the DOS directory on the hard drive.

3. Open the PACKING.LST file on Setup disk 1 to determine the location of the NETWKSTA.1X_ file.

4. Use the following syntax to expand and copy the new file to your network directory:

expand [drive1:]netwksta.1x_ [drive2:][path]netwksta.exe

The [drive1:] parameter specifies the location of the compressed file you want to expand. The [drive2:][path] parameter specifies the destination for the expanded file.

For example, if the NETWKSTA.1X_ file is on a disk in  drive A, and your NETWKSTA.EXE file is in the LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG directory on drive C, type this at the command prompt:

expand a:\netwksta.1x_ c:\lanman.dos\netprog\netwksta.exe

Note: Do not restart your computer.

After you complete the procedure, set up MS-DOS 5.0 on your computer. For information about installing MS-DOS, see &quot;Getting Started.&quot;

Note: Do not use the LOADHIGH command to load any LAN Manager version 1.x files into the upper memory area. This might result in memory conflicts that could cause your system to fail.

6.1.6. Microsoft LAN Manager Version 1.x Basic

To update LAN Manager version 1.x Basic, replace your current REDIR.EXE file with the new version included with the Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS 5.0 Upgrade. It's a good idea to preserve your current file by renaming it with a different extension, such as .OLD or .BAK.

To update LAN Manager version 1.x Basic:

1. Rename the following file:

REDIR.EXE (usually in C:\LANMAN.DOS\BASIC)

2. Copy the EXPAND.EXE file on Setup disk 1 to the DOS directory on the hard drive.

3. Open the PACKING.LST file on Setup disk 1 to determine the location of the REDIR.1X_ file.

4. Use the following syntax to expand and copy the new file to your network directory:

After you complete the procedure, set up MS-DOS 5.0 on your computer. For information about installing MS-DOS, see &quot;Getting Started.&quot;

Note: Do not use the LOADHIGH command to load any LAN Manager version 1.x files into the upper memory area. This might result in memory conflicts that could cause your system to fail.

6.2. Windows Procedure

Many networks, such as IBM LAN Server, Digital Pathworks, and 3Com 3+Open, are based on Microsoft LAN Manager. Consult your network documentation, network distributor, or system administrator to learn whether your network belongs in this category, and if so, on which version of LAN Manager it is based.

The following notes include general information about using LAN Manager networks and information about specific versions of LAN Manager.

6.2.1. Ungermann-Bass Net/One

o Ungermann-Bass Net/One LAN Manager is based on Microsoft LAN Manager. Choose the Microsoft LAN Manager option when running the Windows and MS-DOS Setup program. Setup should correctly identify your network and the proper version number.

In addition:

If you are using an Ungermann-Bass network card with any network, including networks not produced by Ungermann-Bass, your system may not run correctly in 386 enhanced mode unless you have the proper settings in your SYSTEM.INI file.

If you experience problems, follow these steps:

1. Open your SYSTEM.INI file by using a text editor such as Notepad. SYSTEM.INI is located in your Windows directory.

2. Find or add the [386Enh] section in the file.

If you're using Notepad, you can find this section by  choosing Find from the Search menu, typing [386Enh], and then choosing the OK button.

3. Find or add the TimerCriticalSection=10000 line in  this section.

4. Save your SYSTEM.INI file.

5. Quit and restart Windows.

6.2.2. Using the Ungermann-Bass XNS Transport Stack

If you are using the Ungermann-Bass XNS transport stack and running Windows in 386 enhanced mode, you must make sure the transport stack is not using expanded memory. If your system is configured to provide expanded memory with a memory manager such as EMM386, you can disable that product's expanded-memory option. Or, if you want to continue using expanded memory, you can disable its use by using the Ungermann-Bass transport stack as follows:

1. Open your PROTOCOL.INI file by using a text editor such as Windows Notepad. PROTOCOL.INI is located in your LAN Manager directory.

2. Find the section [XNS_XIF].

If you're using Notepad, you can find this section by  choosing Find from the Search menu, typing [XNS_XIF], and then choosing the OK button.

3. Add a line NOEMM, or, if the line already exists, make sure that it is not commented out with a semicolon at the beginning of the line.

4. Save your PROTOCOL.INI file.

5. Restart your workstation.

6.2.3. Using LAN Manager and Expanded Memory

If you are running Windows in 386 enhanced mode, it is recommended that you not use expanded memory with LAN Manager. If you do, you may find that your system slows down considerably or it may lock up occasionally. If this is a problem, turn off the use of expanded memory by modifying your LANMAN.INI and PROTOCOL.INI files. The exact procedure will vary depending on what components you are running. See your LAN Manager documentation for further details.

1. Open your LANMAN.INI file by using a text editor such as Notepad. LANMAN.INI is located in your LAN Manager directory.

2. Find or add the section [workstation].

If you're using Notepad, you can find this section by  choosing Find from the Search menu, typing [workstation], and then choosing the OK button.

3. Find or add the LIM= line in this section, and then edit it to read:

LIM=NO

4. Save your LANMAN.INI file.

5. Restart your workstation.

Or you can stop your workstation and restart it again using the net stop workstation and net start workstation commands.

In addition, you may want to configure other network components (such as protocol stacks) to avoid using expanded memory. Consult your network documentation for the specific component for instructions on how to do this.

6.2.4. Using Pop-up Services

LAN Manager Enhanced includes pop-up services you can use to see incoming broadcast messages. These pop-up services can disrupt the Windows screen display, so you must either disable them or run the LAN Manager WinPopup utility so they can coexist with Windows.

The WinPopup utility should be located in your LAN Manager NETPROG directory, included in your path. To automatically start the utility when you start Windows, include the following entry in the [windows] section of your WIN.INI:

load=winpopup.exe

If you set up Windows for use with LAN Manager version 2.0 or 2.1 Enhanced, the Windows part of Setup adds this line to your WIN.INI file. If you are running LAN Manager 1.x Enhanced, you must insert this line yourself. See WININI.WRI for information on modifying your WIN.INI file. If you are using LAN Manager 1.x, you also need to obtain an updated version of NETPOPUP.EXE from your network dealer.

Note: Windows version 3.1 includes an updated version of     the WinPopup utility. This utility may not be     compatible with all networks that are based on      Microsoft LAN Manager. If you are running AT&T/NCR StarGroup LAN Manager version 2.0 Release 3.5, you should use the WNETMSG utility provided instead of     WinPopup.

Alternatively, if you want to disable the pop-up services, use the following procedure:

1. Find your LAN Manager root directory.

2. Use Notepad to open the LANMAN.INI file, and locate the line that begins with WRKSERVICES=.

3. Remove the NETPOPUP or MINIPOP entry from this line.

If you remove the netpopup and minipop entries but leave the messenger entry, messages will still be received but will be recorded in the MESSAGES.LOG file in your LAN Manager directory rather than being displayed on the screen. If you do not want to log your messages, you can also remove the messenger entry from this same line.

4. Save the file.

5. Quit Windows, and then restart your workstation.

6.2.5. LAN Manager Basic

When you set up Windows for use with LAN Manager Basic (all versions), the following entry is added to the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file:

network=*dosnet, *vnetbios, lanman10.386

See the SYSINI.WRI file for more information on this entry.

Network software based on LAN Manager Basic, or on LAN Manager Enhanced without full API support, must not be loaded in the high memory area (the first 64K of extended memory).

You need to modify the LANMAN.INI file in your network directory to prevent the network from loading in the HMA. Find all lines that begin with REDIR and add the following command-line option to each:

/HIMEM:NO

6.2.6. LAN Manager 1.x

Some early copies of LAN Manager 1.x require a maintenance upgrade to run with Windows. If you experience problems, contact your network vendor for an upgrade.

6.2.7. LAN Manager 2.0 Enhanced

When you set up Windows for use with LAN Manager 2.0 Enhanced, the following entry is added to the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file:

network=*vnetbios, *dosnet

See the SYSINI.WRI file for more information on this entry.

For Windows to support LAN Manager 2.0 Enhanced, you must have the files NETAPI.DLL, PMSPL.DLL, LANMAN.DRV, LANMAN.HLP, WINPOPUP.EXE, and WINPOPUP.HLP. These files are located in your LAN Manager NETPROG directory, which should be in your path. Windows also includes updated versions of these files, which will be automatically installed on some older versions of LAN Manager.

6.2.8. LAN Manager 2.1 Basic

If you upgrade from an earlier version of LAN Manager Basic to version 2.1 Basic using the Over-the-Network Upgrade process, your SYSTEM.INI and WIN.INI files may be left with incorrect information. This will only happen if your upgrade procedure has been configured to update Windows installations.

This problem will cause you to receive a warning that &quot;WinPopup&quot; cannot be found, and all network functions in Windows File Manager, Print Manager, and Control Panel will be unavailable.

To correct this problem, follow these steps:

1. Open your WIN.INI file by using a text editor such as  Notepad. WIN.INI is located in your Windows directory.

2. Find or add the load= line in the file.

If you're using Notepad, you can find this section by  choosing Find from the Search menu, typing load=, and then choosing the OK button.

3. Remove the word WinPopup or WinPopup.exe from this line.

4. Save your WIN.INI file.

5. Quit Windows.

6. Change to the Windows directory.

7. Start Windows Setup by typing setup at the MS-DOS prompt.

8. Choose the Network entry to display a list of network options.

9. Choose the option Microsoft LAN Manager (version 2.1  Basic).

10. Choose to accept the configuration shown.

11. Restart Windows.

6.2.9. LAN Manager 2.1 Enhanced

When you set up Windows for use with LAN Manager 2.1 Enhanced, the following entry is added to the [boot] section of your SYSTEM.INI file:

Network.drv=lanman21.drv

See the SYSINI.WRI file for more information on this entry.

For Windows to support LAN Manager 2.1 Enhanced, you must have the files NETAPI.DLL, PMSPL.DLL, LANMAN21.DRV, LM21_W31.HLP, WINPOPUP.EXE, and WINPOPUP.HLP. These files are usually located in your LAN Manager NETPROG directory, which is on your path. If Windows cannot find any of these files, you may receive warning messages when starting Windows, or be unable to use Windows network functions.
