Loading Drivers in Non-NetWare Environments

To load drivers in a non-NetWare environment, follow these steps:

1Access the main menu as described in the section “AutoLink Installation” earlier in this chapter.

2Select Network Drivers in the main menu.

3Select the appropriate driver for your network operating system from the menu choices.

The menu program copies the selected driver to a speciﬁed disk drive.

4Refer to the on-line readme ﬁles on the 3C59X EtherDisk diskette for information about working in other network operating systems. Refer also to your network operating system manuals for additional information.

NDIS Drivers

If you have loaded NDIS drivers in a computer with multiple 3Com adapters, you must specify the port address for each adapter, as documented in the PROTOCOL.INI ﬁle on the 3C59X EtherDisk diskette. The ﬁle is located on the startup diskette or the hard drive.

To install a second adapter when running Windows NT, do not change the PROTOCOL.INI ﬁle. Instead, repeat the procedure used to install the ﬁrst adapter.

The 3C59X EtherDisk diskette can be used as an OEM import diskette for Windows for Workgroups or Windows NT.

The path to the OEM ﬁles should point to \NDIS\WFW or \NDIS\WINNT35, respectively.
