Users operating Windows XP Professional in a network with Novell NetWare
need their computer to interoperate with NetWare servers. Specifically, users
must be able to:

!"

Access files on a NetWare server.

!"

Print to a NetWare printer.

Windows XP Professional provides Client Service for NetWare, a network
software add-in that you can use to enable your computer to interoperate with
NetWare servers. When installed on a computer running Windows XP
Professional, Client Service for NetWare enables access to files on the NetWare
server and printing to the NetWare printer.

For computers to interoperate with each other, they must be running the same
protocols. NWLink, a component of Client Service for NetWare, provides that
interoperability. NWLink is an Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced
Packet Exchange (IPX/SPX)-compatible protocol that is automatically installed
when you install Client Service for NetWare.

An alternative to using Client Service for NetWare is using Novell Client for
Windows NT/2000, client software distributed by Novell. However, Client
Service for NetWare is available on the Windows XP Professional installation
CD.

You cannot install both Client Service for NetWare and Novell Client for

Windows NT/2000 on the same computer running Windows XP Professional.

Topic Objective

To provide an overview of
the way in which
Windows XP Professional
interoperates with NetWare.

Lead-in

Overview of Client Service for NetWare

Install Client Service for NetWare

If Appropriate, Configure NWLink Routing

Configure NetWare Logon:

Use NetWare Bindery If Running NetWare 3x
or 4x

Use NDS If Running NetWare 4x or 5x

- OR -

Before you install Client Service for NetWare, you must find out three things
from the NetWare network administrator:

!"

Whether you are running NetWare bindery or NDS (NetWare Directory
Services) on your NetWare server to authenticate users.

NetWare bindery is a Novell network environment that contains definitions
for users and groups. The NetWare bindery-based environment is server-
centric. For example, when logging on to a bindery-based server, the user
must have a logon account and security access to that specific NetWare
server for access to the NetWare resources assigned to that individual
server. NetWare bindery is available for all versions of NetWare.

NDS is a Novell environment based on a distributed hierarchical database
model. For example, when logging on in an NDS environment, the user can
access any resource assigned to that specific NDS environment including
resources assigned to one or more distributed NetWare servers. NDS is a
newer method of authentication and is available for NetWare 4x and 5x.

!"

Which frame type you are using.

By default, this option is set to auto, which auto-detects a frame type the
next time you restart the computer. If no frame type is detected, or if
multiple frame types are detected, Windows XP Professional defaults to
802.2. If only one frame type is detected, Windows XP Professional will use
that frame type.

!"

Whether you need to communicate outside of your network

If routers exist on your network to provide access to your intranet or the
Internet, you must specify routing information that is required by Client
Service for NetWare to efficiently route your communication.

Topic Objective

To describe the tasks to
install and configure Client
Service for NetWare.

Lead-in

The installation and
configuration of Client
Service for NetWare
depends on the version of
NetWare that you will be
communicating with.

Setting a Preferred Server in a Bindery-Based Server

Environment

In a NetWare bindery-based server environment, in the Select NetWare Logon
dialog box, click Preferred Server and type the NetWare server name where
the user account and appropriate rights for Windows XP Professional are
located. Contact your NetWare system administrator for this information.

If you do not want to set a preferred server in the Select NetWare Logon
dialog box, select None from the Preferred Server list. This connects your
computer to the first NetWare server that responds to your request so that this
NetWare server can respond to the Windows XP Professional request for
NetWare access. You are not logged on to this server, but you can use it to
browse or view other servers on the network.

Specifying the Tree and Context in an NDS Environment

In an NDS environment, specify both the tree and the context. In NDS, tree
refers to the name of the root object and context refers to the location of an
object, which in this case is the user, in the directory tree. Contact your
NetWare system administrator for the name and the format for both the tree and
the context, and then type this information into the Tree and Context boxes.

Topic Objective

To demonstrate how to
configure the NetWare
logon.

Enabling NetWare Login Scripts

A NetWare login script is a list of commands that are carried out each time that
you log on to the NetWare network. For example, you can use login scripts to
set all your default settings, such as the drives your system maps to, printer
configurations, and other settings that define your environment on the NetWare
network. Login scripts enable you to create a consistent user environment.

Login scripts reside on NetWare servers. To enable the use of a script, in the
Select NetWare Logon dialog box, select the Login Script check box. When a
user is authenticated, the login script is executed for the individual account.

If NDS is being used, multiple login scripts may be invoked. If an error occurs
when trying to access a resource, review the login scripts to ensure the scripts
did not introduce a conflict in your access rights.

Network Identification

Network Identification

NWLink is the IPX/SPX-compatible protocol that is used for communication
between NetWare and Windows XP Professional.

To route data beyond the local network, NWLink requires that both the frame
type and the IPX network number be set properly.

Frame Type and Network Number

To communicate between a computer running Windows XP Professional and
NetWare servers, you must specify NWLink with the same frame type as the
one used by the NetWare servers. The frame type defines the way in which the
network adapter, in a computer running Windows XP Professional, formats data
to be sent over a network, for example, Ethernet 802.3 or Ethernet II. You can
choose to automatically detect or manually configure the frame type. If no
frame type or multiple frame types are detected, Windows XP Professional will
set the frame type to a default value of 802.2.

The network number identifies the network that the computer is communicating
on. If the network number is different on computers within the same network
they will not be able to communicate. When a computer running Windows XP
Professional is configured to automatically detect the frame type the network
number assigned and cannot be changed.

Topic Objective

To describe how to
configure NWLink.

Lead-in

Some networks use routing
tables to transport data
more efficiently.

hexadecimal number with 1 to 8 digits (1 to FFFFFFFF), and then click OK.

If Auto Detect is selected for the Frame Type, you cannot specify a Network
number.

To change the frame type and external network number on your

Windows XP Professional workstation, you must be a member of the
Administrator group on that computer.

Internal Network Number

If your computer has multiple network adapters that are connected to different
networks, you must assign an internal network number to each configured
network adapter on your computer. The internal network number, also called a
virtual network number, is associated with physical network adapters and
networks. If you do not know the appropriate numbers to use, see your
NetWare documentation. If you do not set an internal network number, the
number is automatically set to all zeros by the Windows XP Professional
operating system.

To set the internal network number:

1. In Control Panel, double-click Network and Internet Connections.

2. Click Network Connections.

3. Right-click a local area connection, and then click Properties.

Windows XP Professional provides various levels of support for UNIX
connectivity. Consider the following levels of support:

!"

At the basic level of support, UNIX servers can be regarded as an Internet
resource. This is because UNIX uses some of the protocols for
communicating that are also available in Windows XP Professional, such as
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), FTP (File Transfer Protocol), and
Telnet. These protocols enable you to access files.

!"

Print Services for UNIX is an add-on network component available in
Windows XP Professional that provides access to UNIX line printer remote
(LPR) printers.

!"

Windows Services for UNIX 2.0 and Microsoft Interix are Microsoft
programs that enable a wide range of interoperability, including the ability
to:

• Connect to NFS (Network File System). NFS is the native file format for

UNIX, equivalent to the NTFS File System in Microsoft Windows XP
Professional.

• Run UNIX shell commands (operating system level commands).
• Run distributed applications on a network computer.

Select the interoperability option that meets the needs of your user and
environment.

Topic Objective

Using a Telnet Client

A standard Windows XP Professional installation without any additional
Microsoft or third-party software, provides basic connectivity to UNIX. This
level of connectivity involves utilizing the basic Internet standard Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) services and utilities within the
Windows XP Professional operating system and the services configured on the
UNIX network. This can be viewed as either a temporary change or a
permanent configuration of the workstation, as the user can transition between
the two network environments.

For access to run application and to print to UNIX-based printers, Windows XP
Professional provides both print services for UNIX and full Telnet client and
server software.

Topic Objective

To point out that
Windows XP Professional

work together to allow users to communicate with UNIX workstations and
servers.

Telnet Client

The Telnet client allows you to connect to a UNIX server and interact with that
server through a terminal window as if you were sitting in front of it. Typical
uses of Telnet include e-mail, file transfer, and system administration (remotely
issuing commands to the UNIX server). When you access a UNIX server
running Telnet client, you cannot use applications that interact with the desktop
on the UNIX server.

Telnet Server

The Telnet server is a connection point for Telnet clients. When Microsoft
Telnet server is running on a computer running Windows XP Professional,
users on other UNIX workstations running Telnet client software can connect to
the computer running Windows XP Professional. When a Telnet client connects
to the Windows XP Professional Telnet server, the user is asked to enter a user
name and password. By default, only user name and password combinations
that are valid on the local server can be used to log on to that server.

Once logged on, a user is given a command prompt that can be used as if it had
been opened in a command prompt window locally. By default, however, the
user cannot use applications that interact with the Windows XP Professional
desktop.

Topic Objective

To describe the Telnet
services that are available in
Windows XP Professional.

Lead-in

Windows XP Professional
provides both a Telnet
server and Telnet client.

All members of the Administrators group can use Telnet. Access to the system
through a Telnet server by other users is controlled by membership in the
Telnet Clients group. By default, this group contains one entry, “Everyone.” If
you want to restrict who can access the system using Telnet, remove
“Everyone” from the Telnet Clients group and add the users or groups that you
want to give Telnet access to the system.

The Telnet server service is not started by default. To start the Telnet service:

1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.

2. In Computer Management, expand Services and Applications, and then

click Services.

3. In the details pane, right-click Telnet, and then click Start.

The Telnet server included with Windows XP Professional supports a

maximum of two Telnet clients at a time. If you need additional licenses, use
Telnet server from the Microsoft Services for UNIX. Services for UNIX
supports up to 63 Telnet clients at a time.

Using a Telnet Client

The Telnet client is provided in two forms: command-line and HyperTerminal.

Command-Line Telnet Client

The command-line version of Telnet is a Windows console program. To start
the Telnet Client on Windows XP Professional:

• Click Start, click Run, and in the Open box, type:

telnet

This will start Telnet it in its prompt mode. In the prompt mode, Telnet
prompts for commands. To see the available commands, type help or type ?

Once a connection is established, the console window becomes a terminal
screen. The remote computer’s output appears in this window and your
keystrokes are sent to the remote server.

You can also change the mode of operation. To switch from terminal mode
back to prompt or local mode, press CTRL+]. To switch from prompt or local
mode to terminal mode, press ENTER.

To terminate a Telnet session, do either of the following:

!"

Press CTRL+] in the terminal mode, and then type quit

!"

Close the Telnet console window.

Topic Objective

HyperTerminal Telnet Client

HyperTerminal is a utility application that creates and maintains the connection
between a computer running Windows XP Professional and other computers
using either a dial-up or network connection. It is a general-purpose Windows
application that adds the common Windows graphical user interface and
features to the application.

To start HyperTerminal:

1. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, click

Communications, and then click HyperTerminal.

2. In the New Connection dialog box, type a telnet_server host name, and

then click OK.

3. If the New Connection dialog box does not open automatically, click File,

and then click New Connection.

4. In the Connect To dialog box, in the Connect using list, select TCP/IP

(Winsock), and then click OK.

This action initiates the Telnet connection as a client.

5. In the Connect To dialog box, in the Host Address box, type the IP address

of the remote host or the remote remote_host_name (where
remote_host_name is the name of the host that you want to connect to), and
then click OK.

Text Capture

The text capturing procedure involves turning on text capture in HyperTerminal
and then listing the file within a Telnet session. All the text transferred is stored
in a text file.

To capture text from a Telnet session:

1. In the HyperTerminal application, from the Transfer menu, click Capture

Text.

2. In the Capture Text dialog box, either accept the default location and file

name or enter your preferences, and then click Start.

3. In the Telnet session, begin the file listing.

4. When complete, click Transfer, click Capture Text, and then click Stop.

If the remote server has a file-transfer capability such as Xmodem,
Zmodem, or Kermit, use the transfer file capability.

5. From the Transfer menu, click one of the following:

• For binary files, click Send File or Receive File.
• For ASCII text files, click Send Text File.

6. Type the appropriate file name(s) in the dialog box that appears or use the

Browse button to locate the file.

7. Select the appropriate file-transfer protocol from the list, and then click

Send or Receive.

8. To close the Telnet session, type quit in the command window.
