You can run the NetWare Tools application on a Macintosh Plus or later that has at least 640K free memory. For a Macintosh running System 7.0 or later, 4 megabytes of installed memory is recommended; for System 6.0.5 or later, 2.5 megabytes of installed memory is sufficient.
Before installing the NetWare for Macintosh client software, you must install the Macintosh software listed in Table 1.
Table 1. Required Macintosh Software
| Macintosh Software | System 7.0 or Later | System 6.0.5 or Later |
|---|---|---|
System |
System 7.0-compatible versions of the Finder and Chooser |
Finder Version 6.1 or later Chooser Version 3.3 or later |
AppleShare (Workstation) |
Version 7.1 is required for use with the current version of the NetWare UAM. This AppleShare software is included on the diskette. |

LocalTalk (built-in), EtherTalk, TokenTalk, or ARCnet as appropriate |
On Macintosh workstations running System 6.0.5 or later, the System Folder must contain all the required software.
On Macintosh workstations running System 7.x, the Extensions folder (located in the System Folder) must contain the AppleShare, printer, and network connection software.
All Macintosh workstations have the AppleTalk protocols built in. If a Macintosh workstation is connected to a LocalTalk network and has no network boards installed, the Macintosh workstation automatically uses the proper network connection software.
In all other cases, you should verify that the network connection software is installed in the proper location, and that the appropriate network connection icon is selected.
For a Macintosh workstation running System 7.x with a network board installed, you must make sure these conditions are true:
If the network connection software is not present in the Extensions folder, install it. The software is provided with the network board. The documentation for the network board should contain installation instructions.
To verify that the proper network connection icon is selected in the Network Control Panel, open the Control Panels folder. Or, choose the Control Panels option from the Apple menu. In either case, the Control Panels window appears.
Double-click the Network icon (Figure 1).

When you double-click the Network icon, the Network window opens (Figure 2).

Make sure that the appropriate network connection software is selected. If it is not, select the software by clicking the icon representing it. In this example, because the EtherTalk 2.0 software is selected, the Macintosh workstation can communicate with the NetWare for Macintosh server over Ethernet.
Table 2 discusses the available network connection types.
Table 2. Macintosh Network Connection Types
| Connection Type | Description |
|---|---|
LocalTalk (Built-In) |
If a Macintosh workstation is connected to a LocalTalk cable but has a network board installed, you need to choose the proper network connection software. If you want the Macintosh workstation to communicate with a NetWare server over a LocalTalk connection, select the Built-in software icon; otherwise, choose the icon representing the appropriate software for the network board. |
Arcnet |
If the Macintosh workstation has an ARCnet board and driver installed, you should see an ARCnet icon. Click the ARCnet icon to allow the Macintosh workstation to communicate on ARCnet. |
EtherTalk 1.0 and EtherTalk 2.0 |
If the Macintosh workstation has an Ethernet board and driver installed (or has a built-in EtherTalk 2.0 connection), you should see one or both EtherTalk icons. The EtherTalk 2.0 icon has double arrowheads. The EtherTalk 1.0 icon has single arrowheads. Click the EtherTalk 2.0 icon to allow the Macintosh workstation to communicate on an EtherTalk 2.0 network. Click the EtherTalk 1.0 icon to allow the Macintosh workstation to communicate on an EtherTalk 1.0 network. |
TokenTalk |
If the Macintosh workstation has a Token Ring board and driver installed, you should see the TokenTalk icon. Click the TokenTalk icon to allow the Macintosh workstation to communicate on a TokenTalk network. |
These icons correspond to the network connection types:
For a Macintosh workstation running System 6.0.5 or later with a network board installed, make sure these conditions are true:
If the network connection software is not present in the System Folder, install it. The software is provided with the network board. The documentation for the network board should contain installation instructions. To verify that the proper network connection icon is selected in the Network area of the Control Panel, choose the Control Panel option from the Apple menu. Then, click the Network icon at the left side of the Control Panel window (shown highlighted in Figure 3). Figure 3
Make sure that the appropriate network connection software is selected. If it is not, select the software by clicking the icon representing it. See Table 2 for information about the network connection icons you can select.Checking the Network Connection Software (System 6.0.5 or Later)
