                   {CONNECTING TO DRIVES THROUGH WINDOWS
                   {====================================

       This section  describes how to connect (mount) a drive (device) on
       your PC to a directory (file system) on a remote host using
       Windows(R). The general sequence of steps in using Client NFS in
       Windows is as follows:

           1. Start the NFS redirector agent on your PC from the DOS
              prompt.

           2. Start Windows.

           3. Connect a drive to the remote directory you want to access.

           4. Select and operate on the remote files.

           5. Disconnect the drive from the remote directory.

{  Before You Begin
{  ================

       Windows can run only one network driver at a time. Users with
       LANtastic for Windows will have to choose between LANtastic for
       Windows functionality and the new features provided with LANtastic
       for TCP/IP.

       You can select which driver is loaded by editing your Windows
       SYSTEM.INI file. In the section called [boot] look for the line
       {NETWORK.DRV=}. The driver indicated at the end of the path will
       be MSNET.DRV (the default Windows driver), LANTNET.DRV or
       PWNFS.DRV.

       To use most of the features described below you must edit the
       SYSTEM.INI file and enter PWNFS.DRV on the {NETWORK.DRV=} line.

{  Connecting a Drive Using Windows
{  ================================

           1. Start the NFS redirector agent on your PC from the DOS
              prompt.

           2. Start Windows.

           3. Open the "Main" window.

           4. Open the "File Manager" window.

           5. In "File Manager," select "Disk" from the menu and then
              select "Network Connections" ("Connect Net Drive" in Windows
              3.0).

              The "Network Connections" dialog box appears.  The next
              available logical drive you can connect is listed in the
              "Drive" field. Click on the side bar to list other available
              drives.

           6. Move the cursor to the "Network Path" field.  From the
              "Network Path" field, you can use "Browse," "Previous," or
              type the IP address or name of the host that you want to
              mount.

              You must also specify a pathname after the hostname. If
              you choose "Browse" continue with steps 7 through 10;
              otherwise skip to step 11.

           7. Click on "Browse." The "NFS Browser" dialog box appears.  A
              list of available NFS servers appears under "Hostname."

           8. Select a host. A list of the file systems available to the
              local workstation appears under "Path." Check the "Show all
              exported directories" box to toggle displaying files listed
              in the exports file.

           9. In the "Path" field, select the file system to which you
              want to connect.

          10. In the "NFS Browser" dialog box, click "OK." You are
              returned to the "Network Connections" dialog box where the
              hostname and path are shown in the "Network Path" field. You
              can add a subdirectory to the path by typing in this field.

          11. In the "Password" field of the "Network Connections" dialog
              box, enter your password on the remote NFS server.

          12. Click "Connect" to make the connection. The "NFS Network
              Options" dialog box appears.

          13. In the "Username" field, type your username on the NFS
              server.  If you set your username in the "Configuration"
              menu, it appears here in Windows automatically. For
              information about the "Configuration" menu, refer to your
              LANtastic for TCP/IP manual.

       {Note...}     If you are using the authentication cache ({auth}
                   command), just type an asterisk ( * ) in the Password
                   field in Step 11 and leave the "Username" field blank
                   in Step 13.

          14. In the "File permission" and "Directory permission" fields
              of the "NFS Network Options" dialog box, the default
              permissions for files and directories appear in graphic
              form. To set or clear an access right, click the box. NFS
              uses the UNIX file protection system. Three user classes can
              have access to a file or directory. They are represented by
              three box-sets, each specifying the types of access rights a
              class can have:  R (read), W (write), and X (execute). An x
              in a check box indicates the access right is set. The check
              boxes work like toggle switches. For more information about
              file access rights refer to your LANtastic for TCP/IP
              manual.

          15. In the "Read size:" and "Write size:" fields, the default
              read size of 4K and the default write size of 8K are shown.
              Use the default values or modify each size by clicking the
              down arrow key and selecting a new value from the list that
              appears. For more information about read/write sizes, see
              your LANtastic for TCP/IP manual.

          16. The "File sharing" option is selected by default. To turn
              file sharing off, click in this check box. For more
              information about file sharing see your LANtastic for TCP/IP
              manual.

          17. Select the "Always use rpc.lockd" feature by clicking in
              this check box.

          18. If you do not want to map uppercase DOS files on the remote
              side, select the "Case insensitive for NFS filename" option
              by clicking in this check box.

          19. In the "Retry" field, use the default value or type the
              number of retries you want attempted for a connection before
              the NFS client aborts.

          20. To accept the current options and exit the "NFS Network
              Options" dialog box, click "OK." In the "Network
              Connections" dialog box, the new connected drive appears in
              the "Current Drive Connections" field.

          21. To return to "File Manager," click "Close."

          22. In "File Manager," select the remote directory and file.

{    Switching to the DOS Box
{    ------------------------

       Many features of Client NFS are available using Windows. However,
       to use the full set of available options, such as {mount /i}, you
       should switch to the DOS environment and use the commands.

       To switch to the DOS Box from Windows while you are working in a
       remote directory:

           1. Open the DOS Box icon from the "Program Manager" window.
              The DOS screen appears with the DOS prompt.

           2. Press the key combination {Alt+Enter} to make the DOS Box
              display in the Windows screen environment.

           3. To exit the DOS Box, type {exit}.

       {Note...}     If you type {exit} in a DOS Box, any virtual machine
                   that was created in the DOS Box is closed and its
                   connection is dropped.

{  Disconnecting a Drive through Windows
{  =====================================

       To disconnect a drive through Windows:

           1. Make a drive, other than the drive you want to disconnect,
              the current drive.

           2. In "File Manager," select "Disk" from the menu bar and then
              select "Network Connections" ("Disconnect Net Drive" in
              Windows 3.0).

           3. In the "Network Connections" field under the list of
              "Current Drive Connections," select the drive and connected
              file system you want to disconnect and click "Disconnect."
              (For Windows 3.0, select the "Disk" you want to disconnect
              and click "OK.") If you try to disconnect a drive using
              Windows that was not originally connected using Windows, the
              system replies with the following message:

  ~                              Windows                                 `
  ~You cannot break the network connection to drive X because this       `
  ~connection was set up before Windows/386 was started. You will have to`
  ~exit Windows/386 to break this connection.                            `
  ~Press any key to continue.                                            `

{  Using More Than One DOS Virtual Machine
{  =======================================

       Windows allows you to run more than one program at a time. The
       virtual machines you create using the DOS Box are aware of the
       connections made from the parent Windows session, but not from
       other DOS Boxes created in Windows.
