SUMMARY
=======

You can use the Windows NT remote access service (RAS) functionality to allow
Windows 95 NetWare clients or Windows NT NetWare clients to dial into the
Windows NT 3.51 RAS Server; these clients can then log on to a Novell NetWare
server.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The following are steps to provide the Windows 95 or Windows NT client that
connects to a Windows NT 3.51 Server access to the Novell 3.x or 4.1 file
server.

1. Have Windows NT 3.51 Server running RAS Services.

2. Make sure that NWLink IPX/SPX Compatible Transport is loaded on the Windows
  NT Server and make sure that the frame type is set to match the frame type
  used by IPX/SPX on your NetWare server (for example 802.3, 802.2,and so
  forth). You can leave the Internal Network Number blank or set it to
  00000000.

3. On the RAS Server, use RAS Admin to add the user name that will be dialing in
  (it is the same as the NetWare Server's user name.)

4. Allow IPX users to route to Entire Network.

5. Any authentication should work when tested with encrypted authentication and
  clear text options.

6. On the Win95 Client PC, load the Microsoft Client for NetWare and the IPX/SPX
  Protocol. The Microsoft client for Microsoft Networks will not allow the
  client to see NetWare servers. The Windows 95 client should load Microsoft
  Client for NetWare Networkds.

NOTE: Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server should be running Client
Services for NetWare(CSNW) or Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW).

7. You should select the Client for NetWare Networks loaded as primary Network
  Logon. This will not allow the client to process the Login Script Processing,
  because it will be done automatically after connecting by means of RAS.

8. Create a dial-up connection to the RAS Server from the Windows 95 computer.

NOTE: At this point you may receive the following message:

  You are currently using NetWare Servers which will be inaccessible if
  you establish this connection. Click OK to continue dialing or cancel to
  stop.

This message is advisory in nature. It informs you that NetWare servers that are
local as opposed to RAS connection may not be accessible. This message is only
seen on Windows 95 clients.

Once logged on, you should see the Logon Window for NetWare. If you don't,
double-click on the Network Neighborhood icon to get to the Novell Server or
Directory Tree.
