Setting up PTW on a Novell server for workstations with IPX protocol


You have two options for installing and running PTW on a network:

1) Install PTW on each workstation and install the hardware key on a dedicated or non-dedicated file server which broadcasts the key throughout the network (preferable if you want each user to have his or her own set of Libraries);

(or)

2) Install PTW on a network drive and run it from each workstation using a shortcut to the network (preferable if you want everyone to use the same set of Libraries).

If you use option 2, you will need to copy these five TrueType font files from the server and add them using the Control Panel to every workstation: Pixextnb.ttf, Pixextn.ttf, Mtextra.ttf, Mtsymbol.ttf, and Fences.ttf. (The first two are used for load schedule reports and the last three are used by the on-line Reference Manual.) You can't just copy the font files to the \Fonts folder because Windows won't know they're there.

1) Plug the hardware key into the parallel port of the server, then log on with Full Administrative Rights.

2) Copy the HASPSERV.NLM file from the X:\PTW32\BIN to a folder you can easily remember.

(Note: If you haven't installed PTW on the server, you won't find the X:\PTW32\BIN folder because it won't exist. To solve this, either install PTW so you can find HASPSERV.NLM, or download HASPSERV.NLM and the other network-related files from our download page--just click on "Network Drivers and Files.")

3) Browse to the folder you put HASPSERV.NLM in and type:

LOAD HASPSERV.NLM IPXNOSAP

This program broadcasts the key to the workstations; hence, it must remain running anytime PTW will be used (the easiest solution is to just leave it running at all times).

Note: If your workstations will run PTW from the network server, you only need to perform the following steps on the network server. If your workstations will have PTW installed and run locally, you need to repeat these steps on each workstation which has PTW installed.

4) Copy HASPADDR.DAT and NEWHADDR.DAT from the folder which contains HASPSERV.NLM to the X:\PTW32\BIN folder. (HASPADDR.DAT and NEWHADDR.DAT are created by the "load haspserv.nlm ipxnosap" command we ran earlier.)

5) Open the NETHASP.INI file (located in the X:\PTW32\BIN folder) and find the [NH_COMMON] Section.

Note: Since NETHASP.INI is a text file, open it in a text editor (NotePad, which comes with Windows, works best because it does not insert extra characters into the file).

6) Be sure to ONLY unremark the lines indicated. All other lines should still have semicolons in front of them.
Un-remark (that is, delete the two semicolons in front of) the line

;;NH_IPX = Enabled or Disabled

and delete the words or Disabled so that the line reads:

NH_IPX = Enabled

7) Find the [NH_IPX] section and un-remark the line:

;;NH_USE_BROADCAST=Enabled or Disabled

and delete the words Enabled or so that the line reads:

NH_USE_BROADCAST=Disabled

8) Save the NETHASP.INI file.

9) Test whether PTW will run on the workstation. If it does not, check the NETHASP.INI file to ensure that only the lines indicated have the semicolons removed, and that all the other lines still have semicolons in front of them.
