Grab the latest version from Novell's site (CLOSED1.EXE). Run the .EXE and create the seven diskettes per the included instructions. It should pick up on your previous settings when you run the install and ask you if you want to make changes or accept what it found. This is especially true for when it asks about the network driver. The other questions will refer to if you want to run your sessions GLOBAL or PRIVATE -- GLOBAL being the default and probably what you used. It will also ask about NETBIOS. If you are not doing any peer-to-peer networking you can answer NO to that question. The last question should concern modifying your NET.CFG if you have one. If you didn't use one it will be blank. If you had one the old settings should display. Accept them as is or make changes if you know changes are needed. Save the NET.CFG regardless if you modify it or not and then the installation should install all the files. George ....
