Once Newt is properly installed, search the Windows directory for a file named
winsock.dll
. If you find this file, you must remove it or rename it so the Newt
winsock.dll
is used instead of the one that came with Windows for
Workgroups.
Newt TCP/IP vs. Windows for Workgroups and Novell NetWare
I-22.
If you’re running Novell NetWare Client functions in Windows for Workgroups,
the Installation will be somewhat different.
Make sure that Windows for Workgroups with Novell Client functions is
operating properly before installing Newt. If this is the case, your
autoexec.bat
will load an ODI driver and the
odihlp.exe
shim rather than
the usual NDIS driver.
After ensuring that Windows for Workgroups and Novell NetWare are operating
properly, install Newt as described above. You will not be prompted for hardware
setup, because the Newt setup will sense that an ODI driver is already active.
Newt will modify the
net.cfg
file to add the necessary Frame and Protocol
lines to support TCP/IP as an active protocol over the ODI driver. It will also add
a load of the NMODI shim to your
autoexec.bat
file to allow the Newt stack
to operate over the ODI driver.
