When using these drivers, it is necessary to either use the 802.2 frame type on your server or change the frame type for the workstation in your NET.CFG (or SHELL.CFG) file.

Be sure to indent the second line and place a carriage return after the second line. PBURST.NLM and BNETX.EXE PBURST.NLM includes support for NCP Packet Signature, an enhanced security feature. To utilize this feature, you must obtain a number of new NetWare files, including server NLMs and supervisor, print and other utilities. These files are available as self-extracting executables in NOVLIB, section 4 (GO NOVLIB) as SECSYS.EXE SECDOS.EXE SECOS2.EXE SECUT1.EXE SECUT2.EXE SECUT3.EXE SECPRN.EXE or from Novell directly. If you wish to use PBURST.NLM and BNETX.EXE without implementing the security feature, enter the following line at your file server console (you may add this line to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file): SET NCP Packet Signature Option = 1 To implement burst mode at a workstation, add the following line to your NET.CFG (or SHELL.CFG) file: PB BUFFERS = 3 TBMI2.COM - This file is for use with DOS v5.0 Task Swapper and Windows v3.1 only. For Windows v3.0, use TBMI.COM and TASKID.COM. Do not use TASKID with this file. This file is documented in the DOS v5.0 README.TXT. Usage is described by executing TBMI2.COM with the /? command line parameter. DOSNP.EXE - This is the Named Pipes Extender for DOS. It allows you to run Named Pipes applications under DOS. RPLFIX.COM - RPLFIX is used to allow workstations to remote program load (RPL) properly with MS DOS 5.x and above. This utility must be run after the boot image file (usually NET$DOS.SYS) has been created using the DOSGEN utility. RPLFIX will directly modify the boot image file; the boot image file's size and last modified date will be different after RPLFIX has been run. RPLFIX only needs to be run against the boot image file once. Attempts to run RPLFIX against an already modified boot image file are detected by the utility, and no further modifications will be made to the boot image file. Follow the instructions for DOSGEN (setting up remote reset workstations) in the Novell reference manuals. For NetWare v2.x, this information can be found in Chapter 9 of the "Supervisor Guide", or Chapter 2 of the "Using the Network" manual. For NetWare v3.x, this information is found in Appendix D of the Installation manual. After performing all steps as outlined in the appropriate manual to create the boot image file, run RPLFIX.COM. The remote workstation will likely hang during the reset process if you are resetting using DOS 5.x or above and the boot image file has not been modified by RPLFIX. RPLFIX can be found on the WSGEN diskette, or in the WSGEN subdirectory if you are installing using a network drive. After you have located RPLFIX.COM, map a drive to the LOGIN subdirectory on the file server you wish to remote reset from. The DOSGEN procedure instructed you to create a boot image file in that subdirectory (usually named NET$DOS.SYS). If the drive you mapped to SYS:LOGIN was drive F, then you would enter the following: RPLFIX F:NET$DOS.SYS RPLFIX only needs to be run if the version of DOS loaded on the floppy disk used with DOSGEN is 5.x or greater. Earlier versions of DOS do not require that this utility be run. NOTE: If you renamed your boot image file, then you must use the new filename with RPLFIX: RPLFIX [d:] where [d:] is the drive letter where the image file is located, and is the name of the file created with the DOSGEN utility. ******************************************************************** DISCLAIMER Novell, Inc. makes no representations or warranties with respect to any NetWare software, and specifically disclaims any express or implied warranties of merchantability, title, or fitness for a particular purpose.
