Enabling TCP/IP on NetWare 4.11
A very quick overview of enabling TCP/IP on NetWare 4.11. I originally did this as part of Installing NetWare IPX/IP Gateway but its also required for Installing NetWare/IP and probably other things.
This page contains select screenshots from the NetWare IPX/IP Gateway page just showing the minimum required to enable TCP/IP on a network interface.
At the netware console, run load inetcfg.nlm. Choose Yes to transfer LAN drivers, etc, to inetcfg.
I got this. I just hit enter.
Choose No, use the standard method
Then go to protocols
TCP/IP...
And set it to Enabled
Hit escape and confirm updating TCP/IP Config
Then go to Bindings
Hit the Insert key
Choose TCP/IP
Choose A NetWork Interface
Choose the network card
Give the server a static IP Address and subnet mask (no DHCP)
I turned off RIP and OSPF as I don't run these protocols on my network
Exit out of this screen updating the TCP/IP Configuration
Hit Esc
This option is tempting but it didn't work for me. Exit install.nlm, down the server and restart it to apply all the new network config changes.
