Working with NetWare Connectivity
When both LAN Manager and NetWare are running, you can use both
LAN Manager and NetWare commands and utilities, and you can make
connections to directories and printers on Windows NT computers, and
LAN Manager and NetWare servers.
If you use Microsoft Windows version 3.0 or later, you can use the Windows
network capabilities to make using the network easier. You can use the
Windows File Manager, Print Manager, and other network-oriented dialog
boxes with both LAN Manager and NetWare.
If you use command-line commands, you can alternate between LAN
Manager commands and NetWare commands, if you want.
Using Microsoft Windows with NetWare Connectivity
When you use the Windows operating system to access the network, you can
connect to Windows NT computers, LAN Manager servers, and NetWare
servers with ease. You can use File Manager to display your connections to
directories on all three types of servers, and also to make new connections.
Similarly, you can use Print Manager and Printers from the Control Panel to
view your connections to printers on all three types of servers and to make
new connections. For more information about using the Windows operating
system with your network, see your Microsoft Windows manual(s) and the
User’s Guide for Microsoft Windows Clients.
When using the Windows operating system to perform certain actions, you
may see a dialog box that asks you which network you want to use. When
you see this dialog box, simply specify the network on which you want to
perform the action.
This dialog box appears only when you browse the network using either the
File Manager or Printers from the Control Panel, and when you choose
Network from the Control Panel. For all other network-related activities
with the Windows operating system, you won’t need to specify which
network you are using; NetWare Connectivity determines it automatically.
