This chapter provides additional information for Novell environments using the 
10/100Base-T interface, including:

1.

NIC Configuration. This section includes information about setting the 
preferred file server; setting password security; adjusting polling time; 
changing the NIC name; changing the NIC frame type; changing the NIC 
mode; setting the NIC NDS context; and setting the NIC preferred NDS 
tree.

2.

Host Configuration. This section includes information about the NDS 
PSERVER setup; Bindery PSERVER setup; referencing a Bindery queue 
in NDS; and RPRINTER/NPRINTER setups.

3.

Troubleshooting tips. This section covers PSERVER setups, 
RPRINTER/NPRINTER setups, and printing related problems.

There are no mandatory Novell settings needed before the print server can be 
detected on the network. However, there can be some mandatory settings 
needed before a Novell print queue can be serviced by the NIC. These 
mandatory settings are covered separately for Netware 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x under 
the Host Configuration heading.

The print server setup in a Novell environment is much simpler than that 
required in a TCP/IP one. No addresses, masks, or router entries are 
necessary, and, in most cases, the NIC can simply be connected to the 
network, turned on, and then configured for printing from a Novell station 
through PCONSOLE or Netware Administrator. See Figure 21 for an example 
of a Novell network which shows the use of file servers and how they relate to 
the print server.

There are, however, some optional parameters you may wish to change such 
as the preferred file server(s), print server password, polling time, frame type, 
print server name, NDS context, and NDS preferred tree. The following 
sections describe these optional parameters.
