Novell Client software allows workstations to connect to the network.

Client Platforms Supported

NetWare 5 comes with Novell Client software for three client platforms: DOS and Windows* 3.1x, Windows 95*, and Windows NT*.

NOTE: The Novell Client for Windows 95 has also been tested successfully on the Windows 98 platform.

You can set the Novell Clients for Windows 95 and Windows NT to work with one of three network protocol options: IP only, IP and IPX, or IPX only.

The Novell Client for DOS and Windows 3.1x supplied with the initial release of NetWare 5 is an IPX application. To run this client on IP-only or mixed protocol networks, you must load

• Scmd.nlm on all IP-only servers, so that the servers are running Compatibility Mode.
• A Migration Agent on a NetWare 5 server on the network.

The Novell Client software delivered with NetWare 5 can be used with earlier versions of NetWare if IPX only or IPX/IP is selected during client installation.

Installing the Novell Clients

Novell Client installation options allow you to install a single client or multiple clients on multiple platforms.
