SUMMARY

Windows for Workgroups (WFWG) provides the functionality to work with Novell NetWare networks versions 2.1 and later. This allows a Novell NetWare client workstation to become a Windows for Workgroups workstation, thereby providing access to Novell NetWare servers and/or Windows for Workgroups servers.

MORE INFORMATION

The following additions are made when Novell NetWare connectivity is enabled in Windows for Workgroups:

AUTOEXEC.BAT

MSIPX
NETX

DEVICE=C:\<WFW 3.1 dir>\MSIPX.SYS

[ms$ipx]
