5.0 Installation Instructions for Windows

  1. Make sure that NetWare and the current Support Pack are installed on your server. The latest Support Packs can be downloaded from the Novell Support Web site.

  2. Log in as Admin or equivalent to NetWare servers from a Windows 98/2000/XP or NT 4.0 client running the current Novell client software.

  3. Install the test controller, TestConsole. Run the install program (TConsole.exe) and follow the instructions given.

  4. Run the LAN tests install program (LANTest.exe) and follow the instructions given.


6.0 Installation Instructions for SUSE LINUX

  1. Log in as root.

  2. If you have not already done so, download LAN Test Tools and TestConsole for Linux from the Novell Developer Kit.

  3. Unzip and untar the downloads.

  4. Install the TestConsole RPM.

    1. Open a terminal and enter the following:

      rpm -ihv tconsole-version #.i386.rpm

  5. Open a terminal and run the LAN Test Tools RPM.

    rpm -ivh lankit-version #.i386.rpm

  6. Open a terminal and run the TCLink RPM.

    rpm -ivh tclink-version #.i386.rpm


7.0 Known Issues

Make sure that the IP mask matches the class of IP Address being used. At the present time this will mean a mask of FF.FF.0.0 as TestConsole requires the use of class B net addresses.

If during testing the TestConsole client becomes unresponsive, it may be due to a server abend.

If you are using a Windows 95 client there may be a problem with IP connectivity. To correct this problem ensure that you have Service Pack 1 installed or that your OS is OSR2. Then run the WS2SETUP.EXE IP patch. This patch can be obtained from Microsoft's support site.


8.0 Known Issues for SUSE LINUX

If you can't get TClink to communicate, it might be a broadcast problem.

  1. Use the rm command to delete the file associated with the adapter under test.

  2. At a command line, type yast lan.

    YAST should automatically detect the adapter and assign it the correct broadcast address. If it doesn't you can configure the file in the YAST utility.
