Working with NetWare Connectivity
Enabling NetWare Broadcast Messaging
With NetWare Connectivity and the Microsoft Windows operating system,
you may need to manually enable messaging if you want to receive NetWare
broadcast messages while using the Windows operating system.
To enable broadcast messaging
1 Open the Windows Control Panel. Several icons appear.
2 Choose the Network icon.
3 In the resulting dialog box, choose NetWare.
4 In the NetWare Utilities dialog box, press the down arrow key until Enable
Broadcast Messages appears in the list box, and then choose the OK button.
Messages are now enabled.
Using NetWare Connectivity from the Command Line
If you don’t use the Windows operating system, or if you type network
commands from an MS-DOS box in the Windows operating system, you can
use both LAN Manager and NetWare commands. You use LAN Manager
commands when you work with directories and printers on Windows NT
computers and LAN Manager servers, and NetWare commands when you
work with directories and printers on NetWare servers.
When you use NetWare Connectivity with typed commands, you must be
aware of the situations described in the following sections, “Connecting to
Network Directories,” and “Connecting to Network Printer Queues.” The
information in these sections also applies when you use the LAN Manager
screen (started with the net command) or NetWare menu utilities such as
syscon and filer.
If you are experienced with either LAN Manager or NetWare but are using
the other network for the first time, you may find it helpful to learn the
commands of the new network by referring to the table of commands in
“Using NetWare, Windows NT Advanced Server, and LAN Manager
Commands,” later in this appendix. You can also find information about
equivalent NetWare and LAN Manager commands by typing net help
netware. You will see a list of common NetWare commands and their
LAN Manager equivalents.
