 Access All Network Resources

With Novell Directory Services*, you can access a wide variety of network resources. The resources that appear in the Resources list depend on your current server or Directory tree. The asterisk (*) to the left of a connected server indicates the current server.

The Resources list displays the resources available to you. This list is changed each time you change the current server or authenticate to a different tree.

To change your current server

1.	Choose the NetWare Connections tool.

2.	While pressing the Ctrl key, choose the server you want as your current server.

*  An asterisk appears by the current server. The Resources list changes to show the resources the current server can access.

Auto Endcap

Sends print jobs to a network printer or file when you exit or enter an application. It is useful if you want to hold the printing of several files until you exit the application.

See Change Printer Settings for specific instructions on changing this setting.


Bindery Resources

A bindery resource is any entity maintained in a NetWare* 2 or NetWare 3* bindery. It can also be a Bindery object within a NetWare 4* network.

The NetWare bindery differs from the NetWare 4 database in that bindery supports the operation of a single NetWare server or a flat-file database. NDS* supports an entire network of servers. So, instead of storing all information on a single server, information is distributed over a global database where it can be accessed by all servers.

Objects in a bindery exist in a flat database instead of a hierarchical database like a Directory tree. Through bindery emulation, NetWare 4 provides compatibility with bindery-based versions of NetWare that may co-exist on your network.

Bindery emulation means that NDS imitates a flat structure for the objects. All objects within a specific container object can then be accessed both by NDS and bindery-based clients and servers. The container object where bindery emulation is set is called the bindery context.

Hold

Holds print files in the print queue until you choose to resume printing.

Holding print jobs is different from keeping print jobs. When you hold a print job, you direct the print server to not process it. When you keep a print job, you direct the print server to not remove it from the print queue even after it was sent to the queue.

See Change Printer Settings for specific instructions on changing this setting.


Keep

Keep print jobs in the print queue after they are printed. By keeping print jobs in the print queue, you can print jobs from Print Manager instead of your usual methods in DOS or Windows. This will save you time and keystrokes.

You can also keep jobs in the print queue in order to print them automatically after a killed print server is resuscitated.

To have the queue delete jobs after they are printed, deselect this option.

See Change Printer Settings for specific instructions on changing this setting.


LPT Settings

Used to change the settings for a specified printer port. To change the settings, you must first capture the port to a print queue.

When you log in to a resource, the connection remains during your entire network session, in either DOS or Windows**, until you log out. You can log in using the drag-and-drop method or the Login button.

Certain network applications are context sensitive. This means if you authenticate to two Directory trees as different users, an application that runs on the new tree might require that you change from your current context to a new context. (You can have only one context at a time.)

To log in using drag-and-drop

1.	Choose the NetWare Connections tool.

2.	From the Resources list, select the resource you want to connect to . If you do not see a resource you want, you can change your current server. (See Access All Network Resources.)

Note: If you are using Novell Directory Services*, change to your name context. If your context is not shown, type your context in the Context field in the resources window. Then browse the tree to find the NetWare resources you're looking for.

3.	Drag the resource icon from Resources and drop it in Connections.

4.	(Conditional) If prompted, type your username and password.

5.	Choose OK.

An icon for that connection appears in Connections when you successfully log in.

Set Number of Printer Ports Available

The default number of print ports available in Windows** is 3. You can increase the number of available ports up to nine by following these steps.

1.	In the NET.CFG file, set the NetWare Printer setting to the number of printer ports you want made available.

This setting is made under the NetWare* DOS Requester* section of your workstation NET.CFG file. You can set up to nine ports. For example: Network Printers = 9

2. Edit the [ports] option in your WIN.INI file for the number of printer ports you want displayed. For example:

LPT1:=

LPT2:=

LPT3:=

LPT4:=

NET1:=

RECORD.PRN=

Note: Add a filename to a line under the [ports] option to have print files print directly to this file.The filename should have a .PRN extension followed by an equal sign (=). This causes the filename to appear in the Control Panel's Printer Configuration dialog box. A printer connected to this filename directs its output to this file.

 Turn On/Turn Off Global Drive Mappings in DOS Sessions

Drive mappings can be global (shared) between Windows** and DOS sessions. For example, if you create a mapping in DOS or in a DOS session, that mapping exists in both DOS and Windows until you log out of the network. Likewise, any mapping made in Windows (using NetWare* User Tools) exists in both Windows and DOS sessions.

You can also have nonglobal (unique) drive mappings for each session. In this case, a mapping created in DOS or in a DOS session is unique for that session; it is not created in Windows or any other open DOS session. Any mapping made in NetWare User Tools is not made in DOS sessions.

When you first open a DOS session, it inherits the mappings currently set in Windows. Any subsequent changes are reflected if Global Drives & Paths is turned on. The changes are not reflected if Global Drives & Paths is turned off.

Note: Your workstation must be running in 386 enhanced mode to use global drive mappings. The option is grayed if your workstation is not running in this mode.

To turn on global drive mappings

1.	Choose the NetWare page of the NetWare Settings notebook.

2. 	Check the Global Drives & Paths check box.

3. 	Choose OK.

You are asked if you want to restart Windows.

4. 	Choose Yes to restart Windows and have the global mappings apply immediately. If you choose No, global mappings will not apply until you restart Windows.

To turn off global drive mappings

1.	Choose the NetWare page of the NetWare Settings notebook.

2. 	Uncheck the Global Drives & Paths check box.

3. 	Choose "OK."

You are asked if you want to restart Windows.

4. 	Choose Yes to restart Windows and turn off global mappings immediately. If you choose No, global mappings will remain until you restart Windows.
