Product:
Virus Control for Novell Netware (FireBreak)
Operations System(s):
Novell Netware
Problem description
Some features require that TCP/IP and Winsock is available and properly configured. FireBreak will function in a pure IPX environment, but individual features will be unavailable. If you are planning to run FireBreak on NetWare v4.11 or v4.2, the email messaging feature requires that the server has Winsock loaded. Winsock is an additional protocol stack. NetWare 5.0 and later has Winsock available by default. NetWare 4.11 and 4.2 does not. Winsock has been available for NetWare 4.11/4.2 since the release of support pack 8, but is not installed by default.
Problem solution
To install it follow this procedure:
- Unpack the support pack to a temporary directory
- Copy the contents of the nw4sp9 oolscoredump directory to a directory on your server's SYS volume other than SYSTEM, in this example we will use SYS:TOOLSCOREDUMP
- Add the following lines to your AUTOEXEC.NCF and make sure you place them before FireBreak is loaded:
- search add sys:tools/coredump
- load locnlm32
- load wsdbe
- load ws2_32
- load wspip
Note that this is only necessary if you plan to use the email messaging feature.
