Who will send an IP bootdisk

I can send you a bootdisk that works for *me* with my workstation (NIC, IP address, Gateway etc), but that won't mean necessary that it wil work for *you*.

Here is a guideline to make you own. :

1. Download and extract the Novell NetWare client files:
- Go to http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/1066.html
- Double-click the filename. This extracts many files and folders into the same folder.
- Create a system floppy disk. (format)
- Delete the file DRVSPACE.BIN.
- Copy HIMEM.SYS to the floppy disk.
- Create a CONFIG.SYS file containing the following line and add it to the DOS system disk:

DEVICE=A:HIMEM.SYS

7. Use the NLMPACKR.EXE utility to copy the following NLM files to the boot disk. Use the following syntax foreach NLM file at the DOS prompt:

NLMPACKR C:\Mytemp\Client32\Trannta.nlm A:\Trannta.nlm

Trannta.nlm
Client32.nlm
SrvLoc.nlm
Ethertsm.nlm
Cmsm.nlm
Nbic32.nlm
TCPIP.nlm
LSLc32.nlm

8. Copy the following files from their respective directories to the root of the floppy disk.

\NIOS\NIOS.EXE
\LANDRV32\*.LAN

NOTE: Copy the appropriate NIC drivers for your particular situation.

9. In a text editor, create a STARTNET.BAT file on the disk with the following information:

nios.exe
Load a:\nbic32.nlm
Load a:\lslc32.nlm
Load a:\cmsm.nlm
Load a:\ethertsm.nlm
Load a:\3c90x.lan frame=ethernet_II
Load a:\tcpip.nlm
Load a:\trannta.nlm
Load a:\srvloc.nlm
Load a:\client32.nlm

10. In a text editor, create a NET.CFG file on the disk and make sure the BIND command reflects the LAN driver, preferred server, name context, IP address, and netmask. See the following sample NET.CFG file:

Protocol Tcpip
IP_Address 137.65.51.113
IP_Netmask 255.255.255.0
Bind 3c90xNetware Dos Requester
File Cache Level= 0
First Network Drive =F
Preferred Server=(Servername or ip address)
Name Context="OU=client.O=novell"

I just sent a winimage bootdisk..
uses fixed IP address, N100.lan adapter.

Modify to you needs...
