Novell Client For Windows 95 Release Notes 4/15/98 CONTENTS 1.0 Installing 2.0 Logging In 3.0 General 4.0 Printing 5.0 IP/IPX Gateway 6.0 Primary Documentation Is Help 7.0 Trademarks 8.0 Disclaimer, Copyright, Export Notice, Patents 1.0 Installing 1.1 Installing from Diskettes Installing from diskettes in not available for Windows 95 workstations. 1.2 ODI Drivers Not Installed ODI drivers are not installed in the latest version of the Client. If you are upgrading an older version of the Client and you have ODI drivers currently installed, these ODI drivers are still supported. If you are installing the Client for the first time, NDIS drivers will be installed. If you do not already have the necessary NDIS driver, you might need to obtain it from the Windows 95 CD-ROM or from the network card manufacturer. 1.3 "The DeviceIDDeleteOrder section in NWSETUP.INI is either incomplete, or incorrect." During installations on the original Windows 95 and Windows 95a platforms, an error occurs if the network interface card is not configured properly (the IRQ and Port Numbers are not correct or they conflict with another device). To solve this problem, configure the network adapter manually or apply the OSR2 patch from Microsoft's web site. 1.4 MFC42.DLL Error The Novell Client runs with mfc42.dll version 4.21.7022 or later. Mfc42.dll version 4.21.7303 is installed when you install Novell Client. If an older version is installed over the version installed by Novell Client, the client login fails with an error message similar to the following: "The ordinal 6453 could not be located in the dynamic link library MFC42.DLL." The actual message might vary, depending on the version of mfc42.dll you are using. To recover from this error, reinstall the correct version of mfc42.dll. You can find the correct file on the Z.E.N.works CD at: d:\products\win95\ibm_enu\mfc42.dll Copy the DLL to the following directory on your workstation: c:\windows\system 1.5 Drag-and-Drop Might Not Work Immediately Drag-and-drop operations between applications or the desktop might not work immediately after the client is installed and the workstation is rebooted. To solve this problem, reboot again to ensure proper registration of the ActiveX controls included in the client. 2.0 Logging In 2.1 No Login with 3Com 3C589C PCMCIA Adapter After installing Novell Client for Windows 95, if you are using a 3Com 3C589C PCMCIA Ethernet board, you might not receive the NetWare login screen during Windows 95 boot. To solve this problem: a. Go to DOS. b. Change to the client folder (for example, novell\client32). c. Enter LOAD 3C589.LAN. d. Execute the NetWare login by clicking Start > Programs > Novell > NetWare Login. 2.2 Login.exe does not work in some situations. In those cases, use loginw32.exe. 3.0 General 3.1 NetWare Copy Cannot Create or Copy Files at the Root Level of a Volume NetWare Copy cannot copy or create files at the root of a volume. However, it can copy and create in any child directory. If you need to copy to a volume, use the standard Windows copy. This will be fixed in the next release. 4.0 Printing 4.1 Printing to a Volume with Insufficient Space When you print a large file to a volume with insufficient space, the Novell Client returns an error which might hang the computer. This occurs because the Novell Client cannot retry printing because the volume is out of disk space, and it cannot delete the print job because it thinks that important data will be lost. To resolve this problem, make sure that you have sufficient disk space before you start printing a large file. 4.2 Do Not Configure a Local NPRINTER with Interrupts You should not configure a local NPRINTER with interrupts. Use the default "polled mode" instead. 5.0 IPX/IP Gateway 5.1 Novell IPX/IP Gateway: IPX/IP or IP/IP The Novell IPX/IP Gateway can operate as an IPX/IP gateway or an IP/IP gateway. IPX/IP is appropriate when the client is attached to an IPX network or to a network supporting both IPX and IP. We recommend that NetWare/IP not be used when the client is operating as an IPX/IP Gateway. IP/IP is appropriate when the client is bound to the IP Protocols. Normally, NetWare/IP should be used in a configuration which supports user login and location of Novell servers with the gateway through NDS. If the preferred gateway server is specified by IP address and access control is disabled for the server, then NetWare/IP is not required when using the gateway. In an IP/IP configuration, NetWare/IP is required for access to other Novell servers on the LAN. 5.2 Terminate Winsock Applications before Mode Change All winsock applications must be terminated before using the switcher program (to change between Native mode, IPX-to-IP mode, and IP-to-IP mode), and then they must be restarted once the mode change has been made. Some winsock applications might not fully terminate, leaving winsock resident in memory. If this occurs, you will need to reboot your workstation to complete the mode change. 6.0 Primary Documentation Is HTML 6.1 The HTML documentation for Novell Client for Windows 95 contain information on installing, configuring, using, understanding, and troubleshooting this Client. The HTML documentation is available on the Novell Client CD-ROM in the Novdoc directory. The search and print functionality are available on 32- bit operating systems such as Windows 95 and Windows NT. In addition to the HTML documentation, interface and enduser documentation can be found in the Client help. To access the help, open the setupnw.hlp file. For example, on a Windows 95 workstation, click Start > Run, and then enter c:\novell\client32\setupnw.hlp. 7.0 Trademarks 7.1 Novell Trademarks Novell and NetWare are registered trademarks of Novell, Inc. in the United States and other countries.
