Installing or Upgrading Novell JVM for NetWare

If you are doing an upgrade, you do not need to complete the first tasks. Instead, begin with Installing Novell JVM for NetWare .


Using INETCFG to Change or Add TCP/IP

To change or add TCP/IP information after installation, you need to load the INETCFG utility on the server. INETCFG might prompt you for permission to transfer text from AUTOEXEC.NCF to other text files in the SYS:\ETC directory. Enter Yes if this occurs, and then use the standard setup method instead of the quick method.

To configure the gateway address from INETCFG, complete the following:

  1. From the Internetworking Configuration menu, select Protocols > TCP/IP.

  2. Press the Down-arrow until Lan Static Routing is highlighted.

  3. Select Lan Static Routing and press Enter.

  4. Select Enabled and press Enter.

  5. Select Lan Static Routing Table and press Enter.

  6. Press Insert.

  7. Select Route Type and press Enter.

  8. Select Default Route and press Enter.

  9. On the Next Hop Router on Route line, enter the IP address for your router.

  10. On the Metric for this Route line, enter the number of hops to the router you selected.

  11. Press Esc until Update Database appears.

  12. Select Yes.


Configuring DNS Domain Name and the Addresses of DNS Servers

If your version of INETCFG lets you configure the DNS domain name and the addresses of DNS servers, the options will be under Protocols > TCP/IP > DNS Resolver Configuration.

If your INETCFG does not have this configuration option, from a client workstation, create a file called SYS:\ETC\RESOLV.CFG on the NetWare server with the following contents:

domain <your.domain.com>
nameserver 001.01.01.01

Where <your.domain.com> is the fully qualified domain name of your NetWare server, and where the entries for the name server are the IP addresses for the name servers on your network. You must enter the domain and name server parameters. You can have more than one name server line to search more than one domain name server.
