DOCUMENT:Q86361 17-DEC-2000 [win3x] TITLE :NETWORKS.TXT: Microsoft Windows & MS-DOS 5 Upgrade Part B PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows 3.x Retail Product PROD/VER:: OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows 3.1 - Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 5.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= The following information was taken from the Windows & MS-DOS 5 Upgrade NETWORKS.TXT file. This article contains sections 7 through 17. MORE INFORMATION ================ 7. Artisoft LANtastic 7.1. MS-DOS Procedure Before you run Setup with any version of Artisoft LANtastic, make sure to shut down the LANtastic server. Do not shut down the workstation client. 7.1.1. Artisoft LANtastic Versions 3.01 or Earlier Artisoft LANtastic versions 3.02 and higher are compatible with MS-DOS 5.0 If you are using LANtastic versions 2.5 through 3.01, you need to type two SETVER commands at the command prompt. The SETVER command reports to your network software the version of DOS that it was designed to run with--in this case, version 4.0. If you are using a LANtastic version earlier than 2.5, contact your network vendor for an update. To update LANtastic versions 3.01 or earlier: 1. Shut down the LANtastic server. Do not shut down the workstation client. 2. Set up MS-DOS 5.0 on your computer. For more information about installing MS-DOS 5.0, see "Getting Started." MS-DOS may display two "Incorrect DOS version" messages when your network restarts. Ignore these. 3. Type the following commands at the command prompt: setver redir.exe 4.00 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. For more information about EMM386 options, see Chapter 15 of the "Microsoft MS-DOS User's Guide and Reference." 7.2. Windows Procedure LANtastic versions below 3.0 are not compatible with Microsoft Windows. For information about LANtastic versions 3.x or 4.x, see the specific sections that follow. The following notes apply to both versions. o The EMMExclude setting, added to the SYSTEM.INI file during Setup, is required for the default configuration of the Artisoft LANtastic Enhanced 2mbps network adapter. If you have changed the memory address setting on your adapter, modify this entry in SYSTEM.INI to reflect the appropriate address range. If you are not using this network adapter, you can remove this entry. o Some commands require the NetHeapSize entry in the SYSTEM.INI file to be set higher than the default value; for example, XCOPY requires NetHeapSize=128. Increasing the NetHeapSize value leaves less memory available for non- Windows applications, so only increase this value if necessary. For more information about the NetHeapSize entry, see the SYSINI.WRI file. o You cannot create a permanent swapfile while running Windows on a LANtastic server. To create a permanent swapfile, restart your computer without loading the server software, and create the swapfile in Windows. If a dialog box appears asking you to restart Windows, you must restart Windows in 386 enhanced mode before you start the server software. o If you are running a LANtastic server, you cannot use Windows File Manager to format a floppy disk. You can use the FORMAT command at the MS-DOS prompt instead. 7.2.1. Artisoft LANtastic 3.x When you set up Windows for use with LANtastic 3.x, the following entries are added to the [386Enh] section of SYSTEM.INI: EMMExclude=D800-DFFF INDOSPolling=TRUE NetHeapSize=76 NetAsynchFallback=TRUE NetAsynchTimeout=50 In addition: To print from any mode of Windows across LANtastic 3.x, it is necessary to do one of the following: o Turn off the Fast Printing Direct To Port option in Control Panel. To do this, choose the Printers option in Control Panel, and then choose the Connect button. In the Connect dialog box, clear the Fast Printing Direct To Port check box. When you turn off this option, it affects all of your ports. If you want to turn this option off for one port only, follow these steps: 1. If you are printing using LPT3, add the following entry to the [ports] section of the WIN.INI file: LPT3.DOS= If you are using LPT1 or LPT2, you can use the LPT1.DOS or LPT2.DOS entries already in your WIN.INI file. 2. Quit Windows, and then redirect the LPTx port (where x is the port you are using) by using the LANtastic NET USE command. 3. Restart Windows. 4. Using Control Panel, change your printer port to LPTx.DOS. o If you are running LANtastic version 3.x, you cannot run Windows in 386 enhanced mode on a non-dedicated server. o If you have a network connection on LPT1, it will not be displayed in Print Manager or Control Panel. 7.2.2. Artisoft LANtastic 4.x When you set up Windows for use with LANtastic 4.x, the following entries are added to the [386Enh] section of SYSTEM.INI: EMMExclude=D800-DFFF NetAsynchFallback=TRUE NetAsynchTimeout=50 NetHeapSize=64 PerVMFiles=0 In addition: o If you set up Windows for use with LANtastic 4.x, you must have the LANTASTI.386 file somewhere on your path. This file should be located in your LANtastic directory. If LANTASTI.386 is not in your path, the Windows part of Setup adds *dosnet to the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file. To use Windows with LANtastic 4.x, remove this entry and add the entries shown above, and make sure LANTASTI.386 is somewhere on your path. 8. Microsoft MS-Net and 100-Percent Compatible Networks 8.1. MS-DOS Procedure 8.1.1. General Instructions Follow the instructions in this section if you are using one of the following networks: o Microsoft MS-Net, all versions o Hewlett-Packard Office Works, all versions o NCR PC LAN, all versions o Olivetti Olinet-LAN, version 1.23 or earlier o Ungermann-Bass Net/One PC, versions 2.0 through 2.1 Note: If you are using 3Com 3+Share Version 1.6 or earlier, see the separate section for this network below. To update MS-NET or 100-percent compatible networks, replace your current REDIR.EXE and SETNAME.EXE 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 MS-NET or a 100-percent compatible network: 1. Rename the following files: REDIR.EXE (usually in the directory that contains your network files) SETNAME.EXE (usually in the directory that contains your network files) 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_ file. 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:]setname.ex_ [drive2:][path]setname.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 REDIR.2X_ file is on a disk in drive A, and your REDIR.EXE file is in the NETWORK directory on drive C, type this at the command prompt: expand a:\redir.2x_ c:\network\redir.exe 5. Review your MSNET.INI file to make sure the REDIR command appears before the SETNAME command when both appear in the same command set. For example, suppose one of your command sets in MSNET.INI appears as follows: start rdr $1 chknet loadniu -r -d -m:d -i:5 exniuw.xfm stdlc xnsbios -m:d -i:5 session setname $1 redir /l:26 /s:9 prtsc You would reverse the order of the SETNAME and REDIR commands so the command set appears as follows: start rdr $1 chknet loadniu -r -d -m:d -i:5 exniuw.xfm stdlc xnsbios -m:d -i:5 session redir /l:26 /s:9 setname $1 prtsc Note: If Ungermann-Bass Net/One PC does not load with MS- DOS 5.0, do one of the following: o Contact your vendor to get an updated LOADNIU.EXE file. o Put an UBPAUSE command between the LOADNIU and XNSBIOS lines of the MSNET.INI file. o Issue network commands from a batch file that includes a PAUSE command between the LOADNIU and XNSBIOS lines. After you complete the procedure, set up MS-DOS 5.0 on your computer. For information about installing MS-DOS, see "Getting Started." 8.1.2. 3Com 3+Share Version 1.6 or Earlier To update 3Com 3+Share version 1.6, replace your current MSREDIR.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. If you have a 3+Share version earlier than 1.6, contact your network vendor for an update. You cannot run a server with 3+ Share version 1.6 or earlier and MS-DOS 5.0. Note: Version 1.6 or earlier of 3+Start, the remote- startup software from 3Com, is not compatible with MS- DOS version 4.x or 5.0. To update 3Com 3+Share version 1.6: 1. Rename the following file: MSREDIR.EXE (usually in C:\3SHARE) 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 the location of the REDIR.2X_ file. 4. Use the following syntax to expand and copy the new file to your network directory: expand [drive1:]redir.2x_ [drive2:][path]msredir.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 REDIR.2X_ file is on a disk in drive A, and your MSREDIR.EXE file is in the 3SHARE directory on drive C, type this at the command prompt: expand a:\redir.2x_ c:\3share\msredir.exe After you complete the procedure, set up MS-DOS 5.0 on your computer. For more information about installing MS-DOS 5.0, see "Getting Started." 8.2. Windows Procedure 8.2.1. General Instructions If a network is present and detected, but cannot be identified during the Windows part of Setup, the Microsoft Network is the default network that may be set up. The following notes apply to the general category of networks that support the MS-DOS network interface and NetBIOS protocols. For specific notes on Ungermann-Bass Net/One and 3Com Networks, see these separate sections below. When you set up Windows for use with Microsoft Network, the following entries are added to the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file: TimerCriticalSection=10000 UniqueDOSPSP=TRUE PSPIncrement=5 For some networks, you may be able to remove one or more of these entries to improve performance. For more information about these entries, see the SYSINI.WRI file. In addition: o If the path to your network software is not included in the path in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, Setup does not detect a network and proposes "No Network Installed" for your system configuration. Use Custom Setup to specify that the Microsoft Network is installed. o Due to the way some networks handle print queues, Print Manager cannot distinguish multiple print queues on the same server. The lists of print jobs in these queues might be displayed improperly. In addition, Print Manager might not be able to display the job title when displaying queue information. o The Microsoft network driver does not support any vendor's name-aliasing scheme. 8.2.2. Ungermann-Bass Net/One Ungermann-Bass Net/One is based on Microsoft Network. Make sure you choose the proper network option when you set up Windows. o Choose the Microsoft Network Or 100 Compatible option when running the Windows and MS-DOS Setup program. o Ungermann-Bass Net/One LAN Manager is based on Microsoft LAN Manager. See the Microsoft LAN Manager section earlier in this document for more information. 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. o If you are using an Ungermann-Bass XNS transport stack, you must make sure it is configured not to use expanded memory when running Windows version 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode. 8.2.3. 3Com Networks The Windows part of Setup recognizes the following 3Com networks: o The 3Com 3+Share network is based on the Microsoft Network product and will be handled as such by Windows. See the "Microsoft Network and Compatibles" section later in this document. o The 3Com 3+Open LAN Manager network is based on Microsoft LAN Manager and will be handled as such by Windows. See the "Microsoft LAN Manager Networks" section earlier in this document. When you install for 3Com 3+Share or 3Com 3+Open LAN Manager, Setup adds the following entries to the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file: TimerCriticalSection=10000 UniqueDOSPSP=TRUE PSPIncrement=5 See SYSINI.WRI for more information on these entries. In addition: o Some copies of 3Com 3+Open LAN Manager version 1.1 require a maintenance upgrade to work with Windows. If you encounter problems, contact your network customer-support organization. o When you install Windows, Setup modifies your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to make sure the Windows directory appears in your path ahead of any conflicting directories. However, the 3+Share network might change this path when you log in. If so, your system administrator must modify the network log- in procedure so that the path is set correctly to run Windows. o On a 3Com 3+Open network, the user's name displayed by Windows Print Manager might not match the user's actual log-in name. o Some 3Com 3Station diskless workstations come with an All ChargeCard. Make sure your machine is not configured to load the network into the upper memory area between 640K and 1 megabyte, as this will not work reliably with Windows version 3.1 in standard mode. You will not be able to set up Windows if your system is configured in this way. o If you use the 3C505 Network Adapter Card, you must disable the Link Plus Optimizer to run Windows in 386 enhanced mode. You can disable it by removing the following lines from your CONFIG.SYS file: device=psh.sys arguments device=pth.sys In addition, remove the following line from your AUTOEXEC.BAT (or any other batch file you use to start your network): ldr o Windows does not support the 3Com network aliasing scheme (three-part names). 9. DEC Pathworks and PCSA 9.1. MS-DOS Procedure If you have DEC PATHWORKS for DOS version 4.1, carry out the following procedure: 1. If you are upgrading from DOS version 3.3 or earlier, you need to 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 5.0 on your computer. For more information about installing MS-DOS 5.0, see "Getting Started." 3. Restart your computer, but do not yet run STARTNET.BAT, which starts the network. 4. Type the following line at the command prompt: setver redir.exe 4.00 5. Restart your computer, and run STARTNET.BAT. Version 4.0 of PATHWORKS for DOS is compatible with MS-DOS 5.0. However, you must take several steps to achieve this compatibility. To update PATHWORKS version 4.0: 1. If you are upgrading from DOS version 3.3 or earlier, you need to 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 5.0 on your computer. For more information about installing MS-DOS 5.0, see "Getting Started." 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 redir.exe 4.00 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 5.0 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 3B10.BIxD0: 1. If you are upgrading from DOS version 3.3 or earlier, you need to 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 5.0 on your computer. For more information about installing MS-DOS 5.0, see "Getting Started." MS-DOS might display a series of "Incorrect DOS version" messages when your network restarts. Ignore these. 3. Type all of the following commands at the command prompt: setver redir.exe 4.00 setver use.exe 4.00 setver emsload.exe 4.00 setver sch.exe 4.00 setver netsetup.exe 4.00 setver ncp.exe 4.00 setver dnnethat.exe 4.00 setver lad.exe 4.00 setver dll.dxe 4.00 setver memman.exe 4.00 setver dnnethld.exe 4.00 setver show.exe 4.00 4. Restart your computer. 9.2. Windows Procedure Windows version 3.1 supports DEC Pathworks versions 4.0 and above. When you set up Windows for use with a DEC Pathworks network, the following entries are added to the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file: Network=*dosnet, decnet.386, decnb.386 TimerCriticalSection=10000 For more information about these settings, see the SYSINI.WRI file. In addition: o DEC Pathworks supports additional APIs that are not supported by the files installed by Windows 3.1. o If you have problems starting Windows, or copying or opening files, you may need to increase the value of the FILES= command in your CONFIG.SYS file. Try setting the value to 30. o If you have problems running NetBIOS applications, try replacing the DECNB.386 entry with *VNETBIOS in the network= line in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file. 10. IBM PC Lan/DOS Lan Requester 10.1. MS-DOS Procedure If you use IBM PC LAN 1.34 and have problems with applications that use record locking or file locking, you may need an updated REDIR50.EXE file included in ICO 3039. Contact IBM Support Channel. 10.1.1 IBM PC LAN Program Version 1.33 or Earlier To use MS-DOS 5.0 with IBM PC LAN Program (PCLP), you need one of the following: o IBM PCLP version 1.34 installed. o IBM PCLP version 1.3x that has been updated to version 1.34 by applying the appropriate IBM Corrective Service Disks.

Then save the file and restart your computer. 10.2. Windows Procedure 10.2.1. IBM PC LAN Program The IBM PC LAN Program is based on the Microsoft Network product and will be handled as such by Windows. When setting up Windows for use with the IBM PC LAN Program, the following entry is added to the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file: INDOSpolling=TRUE See the online document, SYSINI.WRI, for more information on this setting. In addition: o When you connect to a network share by using File Manager, that redirection will not be detected by non-Windows applications. o The IBM PCLP Extended Services refers to network drives and printers by two different names. Usually, when connecting to a network, you select connections from a list containing descriptive names, but internally connections are made using hidden names such as \\SERVER\IBMXS001. With PCLP Extended Services, you must type the same name as the hidden names in Control Panel or File Manager to make new network connections. Consult your network administrator to learn the proper names to use. o Some versions of PCLP lock up your system if you receive a broadcast message while running Windows. You can disable these messages with the net pause messenger command. Or you can start up your network with NET START RDR instead of NET START RCV or NET START MSG commands. o When you connect to a network printer by using Control Panel, the connection will not be detected by non-Windows applications. It will, however, still be usable by Windows and Windows applications. o If you use "setup /a" to copy and expand Windows files to the network, then use "setup /n" to set up Windows over the network, make sure the NET.COM file appears in the path before NET.EXE. 11. TCS 10Net or DCA 10Net 11.1. MS-DOS Procedure 11.1.1. DCA 10Net Plus Version 4.20 (10) or Earlier and DCA 10Net Version 3.3 (40) or Earlier DCA 10Net Plus versions 4.20 (20) and later, and DCA 10Net versions 3.3 (41) and later, are compatible with MS-DOS 5.0. If you have an earlier version, contact your network vendor for an update. 11.2. Windows Procedure Tiara Computer Systems 10Net (formerly known as DCA 10Net) versions 4.1 and above are compatible with Windows version 3.1. The Windows part of Setup treats these as Microsoft Network compatible. When setting up Windows for use with TCS 10Net, the following entry is added to the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file: TimerCriticalSection=10000 The TimerCriticalSection value may be set lower on some versions of 10Net. For more information about this entry, see the SYSINI.WRI file. To set up Windows for use with TCS 10Net version 4.1x with the DCA 1MB card, run Custom Setup and choose the TCS 10Net (versions 4.1X with DCA 1M card) network option. The Windows part of Setup adds the following entries to the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file: INDOSPolling=TRUE PSPIncrement=5 TimerCriticalSection=10000 UniqueDOSPSP=TRUE For more information about these settings, see the SYSINI.WRI file. In addition: o If you purchase 10Net for Windows, it will install additional Windows components that will enhance the functionality available in Windows File Manager, Control Panel, and Print Manager. o You cannot use File Manager to format floppy disks when running versions of 10Net prior to 5.0. 12. Farallon PhoneNet Talk Version 2.02 or Earlier Note: Please contact Farallon for information about running this network with Windows 3.1. No information was available at press time. 12.1. MS-DOS Procedure To update Farallon PhoneNet Talk version 2.02, 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. If you are using a PhoneNet Talk version earlier than 2.02, contact your network vendor for an update. To update Farallon PhoneNet Talk version 2.02: 1. Rename the following file: REDIR.EXE (usually in C:\\PNTALK) 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_ file. 4. Use the following syntax to expand and copy the new file to your network directory: expand [drive1:]redir.2x_ [drive2:][path]redir.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 REDIR.2X_ file is on a disk in drive A, and your REDIR.EXE file is in the PNTALK directory on drive C, type this at the command prompt: expand a:\redir.2x_ c:\pntalk\redir.exe 13. Sitka TOPS Version 3.0 or Earlier Note: Please contact Sitka for information about running this network with Windows 3.1. No information was available at press time. 13.1. MS-DOS Procedure Sitka TOPS version 3.0 is compatible with MS-DOS version 5.0. However, do not load any TOPS files into the upper memory area. This might result in memory conflicts that could cause your system to fail. Do not use the LOADHIGH command with a TOPS network. If your system is a TOPS workstation, the MS-DOS Shell MOVE command may not work. If you are using a TOPS version earlier than 3.0, contact your network vendor for an update. 14. Invisible Software - NET/30 For Windows Note: Please contact Invisible Software for information about running this network with MS-DOS 5.0. No information was available at press time. 14.1. Windows Procedure To use NET/30 For Windows, choose the Custom Setup option when you run Setup. For your network configuration, choose Other Network (Requires disk from OEM). You are prompted for a path to the directory containing your NET/30 files. Your SYSTEM.INI and WIN.INI files will automatically be updated. If you are setting up Windows on a nondedicated file server and you are sharing a serial printer, you must add a line to the SYSTEM.INI file. If you are sharing COM1, add the following line in the [386Enh] section: COM1AutoAssign=0 If you are sharing COM2, add the following line to the [386Enh] section: COM2AutoAssign=0 15. AT&T StarGroup (Non-LANMAN) 15.1. MS-DOS Procedure Follow these instructions only if you cannot use the AT&T StarGroup network after you upgrade to MS-DOS version 5.0 from MS-DOS version 3.x: 1. Install Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS 5.0. 2. Type the following commands at the MS-DOS prompt: SETVER SETUP.EXE 4.00 SETVER ATTSTART.EXE 4.00 3. Restart your computer. 4. Use your StarGroup installation disks to remove the existing network software from your computer. 5. Reinstall StarGroup. When the StarGroup installation prompts you to indicate which version of MS-DOS you are using, choose MS-DOS version 4.0. 16. PC-NFS 3.0 Note: Please contact Sun Microsystems for information about running this network with Windows 3.1. No information was available at press time. 16.1. MS-DOS Procedure If you use PC-NFS 3.0 with MS-DOS Shell, MS-DOS Shell may display more drives than you have currently enabled. To prevent this, use the PC-NFS /d switch to specify the number of drives you are using. For more information, see your PC- NFS documentation.
