I've installed Windows3.0 on my Novell file server (Compaq Deskpro386) and I want to run Windows3.0 in 386 Enhanced mode. During the Windows installation I was notified that my network shell was invalid and that I need to upgrade the network shell. I've been able to bring Windows up in REAL mode but not in 386 Enhanced mode. Can I run Windows in 386 Enhanced mode if I have Advanced NetWare 286 ND V2.15 on the non-dedicated file server connected to a 386 clone running MS-DOS v4.01? I am current using Advanced NetWare v2.15 rev A - Workstation Shell for DOS v4.X as my network shell. What version of the network shell do I need ? and where can I get them ?

GO NDD and download DSWIN1.ZIP through DSWIN4.ZIP. These files include installation instructions. Then GO NOVA, LIB 6, and download DSWIND.ZIP, which contains the drivers you need to gen the latest shells that appear to be bug free (3.01 Rev. D). Then you need to run SHGEN to gen the shell for your network infterface card. You can then use EMSNET4 to load your nic-specific shell in high memory, but the new verson off ipx still had to load in high memory. if you don't have a compuserve id, there may be someone on the net that has them available by ftp? ================================================================================ dennis p. harris bitnet: jsdph@alaska.edu "The nation that controls magnetism controls the Universe." --- Diet Smith ================================================================================

Windows 3.0 requires control of the CPU for protected mode operation. The two programs will be fighting over control of protected mode. You can run windows from a workstation not used as the file server. You will need the 3.01 shells. They are up to REV. E. The files are available from NETWIRE. -- ****************************************************************************** Ken Haynes, Certified Netware Engineer Technical Support Product Mgr. 900 Support
