If you plan to install Novell Client software on a small number of workstations, or if the workstations are not yet connected to a network, install from the Novell Client CD or download it from the Novell Web site.
HINT: If you are installing or upgrading Novell Client software on several workstations on the network, consider using the network installation explained in Installing Clients from the Network.
The Novell Client Setup utility installs Novell Client software on workstations running Windows. This utility lets you select the client that you want to install from a list of available clients. Administrative options are also available.
HINT: The Typical Install only installs the basic Novell Client components. If you want to install additional services such as NDPS, use the Custom Installation. If you are upgrading Novell Client software, the same custom components are installed unless you choose different ones.
ZENworksTM for Desktops Remote Management requires that you install Workstation Manager components during the Novell Client installation.
To install at the workstation, complete the following:
Do one of the following:
If the Novell Client Setup utility does not automatically launch, run WINSETUP.EXE from the root of the CD.
If you require special accessibility settings, click Start > Run and enter the /508 option to retain your monitor settings. Then, follow the onscreen instructions.
For Windows 95/98, enter path_to_the_software/SETUP.EXE /508
For Windows NT/2000/XP, enter path_to_the_software/SETUPNW.EXE /508
Click a language, a platform, and then the software you want to install.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Once Novell Client is installed, check your network protocol configuration. See Configuring Network Protocols.
After you install Novell Client, make sure that it is configured correctly for your network.
WARNING: Before you configure network protocols, make sure you have the correct information and any addresses needed. If you configure protocols incorrectly, the workstation will not be able to connect to the network, or it might conflict with other workstations using the same address.
Do one of the following:
Windows 95/98 and Windows NT: Right-click Network Neighborhood, click Properties, select the protocol that you want to configure, and then click Properties.
Windows 2000 and XP: Right-click My Network Places, click Properties, right-click Local Area Connection, select the protocol that you want to configure, and then click Properties.
Configure the protocol options in each tab, then click OK.
For example, if your network uses DHCP to assign IP addresses automatically, click the IP Address tab and then click Obtain IP Address Dynamically. Or, if you must use a static IP address, click Specify an Address and enter a valid IP address.
HINT: Click the question mark in the upper-right corner and then click in any field for more information.
Click OK to make the changes.
You might be prompted to supply the Windows operating system CD. If you do not have access to the correct files, you might not be able to create a network connection.
You should now set the Novell Client properties for the workstation. See Setting Client Properties.
