Foray PPP Client Installation Instructions You should start with Windows for Work Groups with Networking DISABLED. If your workstation produces "insufficient" memory messages, see the bottom of this file for instructions on how to load files high. 1.0 INSTALL LAN WORKPLACE For more complete instructions on the LAN WorkPlace installation program, refer to the LAN WorkPlace manual. The steps and order of steps may vary with the version of LAN WorkPlace you use. 1.1 From the DOS prompt, start the LAN WorkPlace installation program. 1.1.1 Insert Disk 1 in your floppy drive. 1.1.2 Change your drive to "a" by typing "a:" and pressing "enter". 1.1.3 Type "install" at the "a:\>" prompt to initiate the program. 1.2 The LAN WorkPlace installation program will present a screen which asks you to have information about your network configuration ready. 1.2.1 You will need to know, among other things, what kind of IP addressing your network adminstrator has employed and the IP address of your IP Router and Domain Name Server. If you have the appropriate information, press the "ESC" key to continue. 1.2.2 If you do not know how your network configured, you should abort the install, review the LAN WorkPlace manual, and find the appropriate information before continuing. If you need more information, follow the screen instructions to abort the install. 1.3 The LAN WorkPlace installation program will prompt you to choose what parts of the LAN WorkPlace stack to install.

If you do not have enough memory to run your DOS editor, you must unload some files from memory before you begin. We suggest that unloading two files, VLM.EXE and IPXODI.COM, from conventional memory will help solve this problem. To unload these files from conventional memory, type the name of each file, a space and a "u" at the DOS prompt: c:\>vlm.exe u c:\>ipxodi.com u ----------------- Editing Your CONFIG.SYS file In your CONFIG.SYS file, you can add lines which will tell workstation to load certain application files "high" or above the level of conventional memory. If you are not already using a memory manager, the following lines must be present to allocate memory high: dos = high,umb device = c:\dos\himem.sys device = c:\dos\emm386.exe noems To change your memory allocation, follow these steps. · Change to your root directory by typing c: at the DOS prompt. · Open your CONFIG.SYS file with your DOS editor by typing edit config.sys · Add the necessary lines to the text. · Save your changes. · Exit the file. · Reboot the machine to effect this change. ------------------------------------------------- Editing Your AUTOEXEC.BAT file Once your workstation allocates "high" memory, you must specify, in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, which files you want loaded high. We suggest loading high these files from the Foray PPP Client bundle: · LSL.COM · IPXODI.COM · VLM.EXE · NETX.EXE. Please note that attempting to load EWPPP.EXE high does not improve use of memory on your workstation. To load files into high memory, edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT in the following way: · Change to your root directory by typing c: at the DOS prompt. · Open your AUTOEXEC.BAT file with your DOS editor by typing edit autoexec.bat. · Find each program file listed above. · Insert the load high command and a space in front of the program file you want to load high. For example, when you find the program file c:\foray\lsl.com change the syntax to lh c:\foray\lsl.com · Save your changes. · Exit the file. · Reboot the machine to effect this change. -------------------------------------------------- Editing Your NET.CFG file If editing your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT does not free up enough conventional memory, you can also edit NET.CFG. We suggest that you find the Netware DOS Requester section of this file and add two lines to it: load low conn = off load low ipxncp = off These lines will load IP and IPX stacks into high memo To edit your NET.CFG file, follow these steps. · Change to the directory in which your active NET.CFG file resides. If you have not installed Novell before using the Foray PPP Client, the NET.CFG will be in your FORAY directory. · Open your NET.CFG file with your DOS editor by typing edit net.cfg · Find the Netware DOS Requester section in the file. · Add the following lines under the Netware DOS Requester heading: load low conn = off load low ipxncp = off · Save your changes. · Exit the file. · Reboot the machine to effect this change. -------------------------------------------------- Tips for Configuring Your Workstation · IFSHLP.SYS is a device driver that is needed for Microsoft Networking under Windows for Workgroups (but not in Windows 3.1). When the user runs Network Setup, Network Setup fails to install IFSHLP.SYS in some circumstances. You are missing this file in your CONFIG.SYS, if you receive the following message in a dialogue box: "The Windows for Workgroups network was not started. Check your configuration, or run Setup again to set up Windows for Workgroups properly. The Windows for Workgroups network driver was unable to load." · To add IFSHELP.SYS to your CONFIG.SYS file, open the CONFIG.SYS with your DOS editor and add the following line at the bottom of the file text: device = c:\windows\ifshelp.sys · Reboot the machine to effect this change.
