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 

Windows XP Professional 
enables access to files and 
resources in a NetWare 
environment.

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 4or 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.

The tasks to install and configure Client Service for NetWare include: 

1.  Installing Client Service for NetWare. 

2. Configuring NetWare logon. 

After you restart your computer, the Select NetWare Logon dialog box 
appears. This dialog box requires information needed by NetWare to 
authenticate your computer running Windows XP Professional as a valid 
client. There are two options for authentication: NetWare bindery and NDS. 
Which option you choose depends on the version of NetWare running and 
what your Network Administrator has chosen to implement. 

3.  Configuring NWLink routing, if appropriate.

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. 

Lead-in 

After you install Client 
Service for NetWare and 
restart your computer, the 
Select NetWare Logon 
dialog box appears.

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.

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.

To change the network number and frame type: 

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

4. On the General tab, click NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible 

Transport Protocol, and then click Properties

5. In the Frame type list box, select a frame type, or leave the default of Auto 

Detect.  

6. In the Network number text box, type a network number, that is, a 

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

4. On the General tab, click NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible 

Transport Protocol, and then click Properties

5.  Type a value in the Internal Network Number box, and then click OK

You can access files on a NetWare server either through a user interface or a 
command-line. 

To access NetWare files: 

1. Click Start and click My Network Places

2. Click Entire Network, and then double-click NetWare or Compatible 

Network.  

Tree icons for NDS directory trees and computer icons for individual 
NetWare computers appear. 

3.  Double-click a tree to view its contents. 

4.  When you find the folder that you want to access, double-click it to expand 

it. 

 

When you map a network drive, by default you are connected under the user 
name and password that you used to log on. To connect under a different user 
name, type the user name in the Connect As text box. 

To connect to an individual NetWare server, you use the net use command. The 
parameters you specify are dependent on your type of authentication: bindery or 
NDS. 

For bindery, at the command prompt, type: 

net use drive: UNCname|NetWarename 

where UNCname is the Universal Naming Convention and NetWarename is 
the full path to be mapped, which will include the volume name and the 
directory path. 

Topic Objective 

To describe how to access 
files on a NetWare server. 

Lead-in

To find the NetWare printer, click Browse for a Printer and then click Next
Follow the remaining instructions in the Add Printer Wizard. The icon for the 
printer appears in your Printers folder. 

When you connect to a NetWare printer using the command-line interface, the 
command is the same regardless of authentication, however the command 
parameters change depending on the type of authentication. 

To connect to a NetWare printer using the command-line interface for a 
bindery-authenticated environment, at the command prompt, type: 

net use lpt1 \\nw4\memos 

This redirects output from LPT1 to the NetWare print queue called Memos 
on the server Nw4. Also, the net use command is equivalent to the NetWare 
capture q=memos s=nw4 l=1 command line. 

 

 

For other printing services such as IP-based printing, the Novell 

Distributed Printing Services (NDPS), or the Novell Enterprise Printing 
Services (NEPS), use the current Novell Client for Windows NT/2000.

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 

To provide an overview of 
how Windows XP 
Professional interoperates 
with UNIX.

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 
provides various levels of 
support for UNIX 
connectivity.

Issuing Telnet Commands

 

 

Telnet is a TCP/IP protocol found in almost all UNIX environments. Telnet 
server and Telnet client software are installed as part of the standard 
Windows XP Professional installation. The Telnet client and the Telnet server 
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.
