NetWare for Windows 3.1x, Windows for Workgroups, and DOS

The AutoLink program installs DOS client software and drivers for Novell NetWare in Windows 3.1x, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, and DOS environments.

CAUTION: Do not use the AutoLink program if you are running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT.

The AutoLink program modiﬁes the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT ﬁles. It logs on to the server and updates the client software if your MIS department has already conﬁgured a 3Install account on your server.

AutoLink Requirements

To use the AutoLink program, your computer should have only one 3C905B-TX adapter installed and have 1 MB of free hard disk space.
