Installation
============

The installation procedure transfers the executables to the directory
you specify and creates or edits system files to allow the transport to
run under DOS and under Windows.


Prerequisites for Installation
------------------------------

Make sure that your computer meets the following requirements before you try
to install the software:

* Disk Drives:      Your computer must have at least one hard disk and
                    either a 3.5-inch drive or a 5.25-inch disk drive 
                    capable of reading high-density diskettes.

* Operating System: Your computer must be running the PC-DOS (v3.3 or later), 
                    MS-DOS (v3.3 or later), or DR DOS (v6.0 or later)
                    operating system.

* Network Board:    Your computer must have an Ethernet, token ring, or
                    ARCnet network board installed. The INSTALL program
                    installs the software that corresponds to your network
                    board.

* APPEND command:   If you are using the APPEND command to allow programs
                    to open data files in additional directories, you must
                    disable the configuration before you run the INSTALL
                    program.

* Windows:          The INSTALL program cannot be run from within
                    Microsoft Windows.


Installation Checklist
----------------------

The INSTALL program requests some or all the information in the following
list:

 1. The drive on which you want the TCPIP Transport software installed.
    The drive you select must have a minimum of 1.5 MB of free space.

 2. The directory in which you want the TCP/IP Transport software installed.

    The default drive is \NET.

 3. How your workstation boots--from a local disk drive, or from a server.

    If you indicate that your workstation boots from a local disk drive,
    you are asked to enter the letter of the drive from which the
    workstation boots.

 4. Whether you want the INSTALL program to update your system files
    automatically.

    If you choose No, the installation program creates example files
    that you can use when you edit your system files.

 5. Whether your network has a BOOTP server that provides TCP/IP
    configuration parameters to your workstation.

If your network has a BOOTP server, you are not asked to provide the
following information:

 6. The IP address for your workstation.

 7. If your network has subnets, the subnet mask.

 8. If your network has an IP router, the address of the router.

 9. If your network has a Domain Name System (DNS) nameserver, and if you
    have an existing RESOLV.CFG file, whether you want the TCP/IP transport
    to use DNS service.

10. If you have DNS service available and you are not using an existing
    RESOLV.CFG file, the name of your DNS domain, and the IP address of
    your nameserver.

11. Which network board you use.

    The INSTALL program displays a list from which you can pick
    a network board. If your network board is not included in
    the list, the program does not prompt you for 'OTHER' network
    boards, and does not configure them for you.

    If your network board is not listed, select one of the listed boards
    so that the installation can continue; then, after installation is
    complete, install a third-party ODI driver on your workstation
    to support your network board. You must edit both your LANWP.BAT
    file to load the third-party driver, and your NET.CFG file to set
    up the 'Link Driver' parameters for the driver.

12. The interrupt your network board uses.

13. The base I/O port address your network board uses.

14. If your network board uses shared memory, what memory offset
    it uses.

    The INSTALL program suggests default values that are the same as
    the factory default settings for your network board. The default
    values are appropriate for your network board if its configuration
    has not been changed. If the configuration has been changed,
    be sure to enter the correct value; an incorrect setting
    may cause the network software to hang during load or execution.


Installation Procedure
----------------------

You use the following keys to navigate within the installation program:

<Esc>         You confirm your selections and move from one screen
<Enter>       to the next by pressing these keys.

<Up-Arrow>    You move between selections in a list by pressing
<Down-Arrow>  these keys.

<Alt-F10>     You can exit the installation program at any time by
              pressing the <Alt-F10> key combination.

              If you exit the program, you must repeat the
              installation from the beginning.


1. Insert the diskette labelled "TCP/IP Transport Diskette #1"
   into the diskette drive.

2. Start the installation program by typing the following command,
   replacing <drive> with the letter that represents your disk
   drive (usually A:).

   <drive>:INSTALL <Enter>.

3. Follow the displayed prompts, answering the questions with the
   information that you gathered using the checklist above.

4. Note the instructions that are displayed following the message
   "Installation successfully completed".

   This information explains additional steps that are required to
   configure the software.

5. Make any changes that are necessary to your configuration files.

   If you did not allow the installation program to update the files
   for you automatically, it created sample files that you can examine
   to determine what changes you need to make.


Installation Results
--------------------

The INSTALL program creates the following directory structure on your disk,
assuming you selected the default installation directory (\NET):

     ----NET
         |---BIN
         |---INSTALL
         |---ODI
         |---SAMPLE
         +---TCP

The directories contain the following files:

Directory   Files
---------   -----

BIN         Contains all TCP/IP transport executable files, Windows DLL,
            and Vxd files.

INSTALL     Contains backup copies of your original system files.

ODI         Contains ODI drivers for your network board.

SAMPLE      Contains sample configuration and database files used
            by the TCP/IP transport.

TCP         Contains initial copies of the TCP/IP database files
            NETWORKS, PROTOCOL, SERVICES, and RESOLV.CFG.

            RESOLV.CFG is present only if you indicated during installation
            that your network uses DNS.

            Refer to the manual to learn how to create your own HOSTS file
            if you are not using DNS. A compressed PostScript version of the 
            manual, named oemguide.zip, is included on diskette #2.

INSTALL modifies or creates the following system configuration files
in the root directory of your workstation's boot drive (C:\ by default):

File           Description
----           -----------

AUTOEXEC.BAT   A command is added to call the LANWP.BAT file. The
               LANWP.BAT file loads the TCP/IP networking software.
               The AUTOEXEC.BAT file resides in the root directory
               of your workstation's boot drive.

               If you are upgrading from v4.01 to 4.1 of the TCP/IP
               transport, the command lines between ':tcpip' and
               ':notcpip' are commented out.

LANWP.BAT      This batch file loads LSL, the MLID driver you selected,
               and TCPIP.EXE. The LANWP.BAT file resides in the root
               director of your workstation's boot drive.

NET.CFG        The INSTALL program creates or modifies this configuration
               file according to your response to the installation questions.
               The file contains configuration parameters for LSL, MLID,
               and TCPIP. The LANWP.BAT file resides in the root
               directory of your workstation's boot drive.

SYSTEM.INI     Two lines are added at the beginning of the [386Enh]
               section of this file to allow TCP/IP applications
               to run under Windows:

                  TimerCriticalSection=10000
                  device=<drive>:\NET\BIN\VTCPIP.386

The zip file on diskette #2 is the electronic version of the Novell TCP/IP
Transport for DOS Guide in PostScript format. The file is named OEMGUIDE.ZIP.
Before you can print the file, you must "unzip" it using a shareware utility
named PKUNZIP. A file OEMGUIDE.PS is created once you've "unzipped" the file.
To print the manual, copy it to a PostScript printer.

All files included on the release diskettes are in their original form
(not compressed) except the documentation PostScript file.

The following lists describe the contents of the TCP/IP Transport
diskettes:
