Running Manager and Editnet on a Novell Workstation

Last edited: December 15, 2003 08:14 AM

Lantastic can be made to coexist with Novell on a workstation as long as it has its own network card.  It must be loaded before Novell and avoid any of Novells redirections.  After redirecting to a Lantastic server Manager and Editnet can be run normally. A local HASP must be placed on that unit as Novell conflicts with the network HASP call.
Hardware

Network card jumpered to not conflict with the existing card.  Specific defaults to check for conflict are:
        IRQ=5
        IOBase=0280H
        RAM=D000-D1FF

HASP programmed to run as a standalone.
Software

Install Lantastic for a workstation as you normally would.  Alter the AUTOEXEC.BAT as follows:

  1.  Before the commands to load Novell put these commands:
              LANTASTIWD8003 IRQ=5
              LANTASTIAILANBIO
              LANTASTIREDIR (node name)

2.  Modify the path command, adding C:LANTASTI and N:TOUCHNET.

3.  After the commands to load Novell put this command:
        NET USE N: \MAINC-DRIVE
     

MANAGER and EDITNET can now be run from the application directory on the Lantastic server MAIN as it would be from a regular Lantastic workstation.

Note: Do not add the commands to load a Ramdrive as Novell provides a Z: drive through its own redirections.
