I-24
• autoexec.bat Netmanage directory added to the path.
• system.ini netmanage.dos added to the transport= line under the
[Network Drivers] section. LoadRMDrivers= will be changed to
Yes.
• protocol.ini [NETMANAGE] section added that should have a
BINDINGS= line that links to the adapter driver that is to be used for the
interface to the NetDAQ instruments.
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.
Installing Newt Networking Software I-23.
Complete the following procedure to install Newt:
1. Insert Newt disk 1 and run setup.exe.
2. Follow the Newt setup instructions:
a. Enter the Serial Number and Key Number from the NetManage License
Record Card. Use UPPERCASE for alpha characters. Click Continue.
b. If you are not prompted for the Identification information above, then you
have residual elements of a previous Newt installation on your host
computer.
c. If you do not intend to update the current Newt installation, do not
continue with this procedure.
