Loading NetWare ODI Drivers 4-11
For complete details on loading the NetWare 4.x server driver for your NetWare version, refer to the README files, which are in the \NETWARE\SERVER subdirectory on the EtherDisk diskette. The readme files are named as shown below:
README.40X
README.41
README.311
README.312
2When you start the server, enter the following commands:
For NetWare 3.11:
LOAD | C:LSLENH.NLM | [Enter] | |
LOAD | C:3C59X.LAN | PORT=XXXX | [Enter] |
BIND | IPX TO 3C59X NET=XXXX | [Enter] |
For NetWare 3.12, 4.0x, or 4.x:
LOAD C:3C59X.LAN PORT=XXXX [Enter]
BIND IPX TO 3C59X NET=XXXX [Enter]
where XXXX is the adapter’s port address. (To determine the port address, multiply the slot number by 1000 hex. If the adapter is installed in slot number three, for example, multiply 3 by 1000 hex = 3000 hex.)
When running the 3C59X.LAN driver with NetWare 3.11 you must update the MONITOR.NLM file that accompanied NetWare 3.11 with the MONITOR.NLM file from Novell. For the latest NLMs, contact Novell.
Multiple Adapters in a Server
If you are running NetWare and have installed multiple adapters in an EISA computer that is functioning as a server, follow the instructions in this section to load the NetWare 4.x server driver.
The 3C59X EtherDisk diskette contains a NetWare 4.x server driver (3C59X.LAN) and the NetWare Loadable Modules (NLMs) that enable the NetWare 4.x driver to be used with NetWare 3.11, 3.12, or 4.0x software. These files are found in the \NETWARE\SERVER subdirectory.
