Installing and Configuring the NetWare Server Driver

The NLM file location is typically in the sys:system directory. You need a NetWare client system to copy the NLM files to the server.

2Copy the LAN driver file (3C99X.LAN) from the EtherCD to the same directory.

3Add the following two lines to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file:

load sys:\system\3c99x.lan slot=<slot> NAME=<name> FRAME=<frametype>

bind ipx to <name> net=<number>

If you copy the NLM files to a different directory, you must specify the path in the preceding LOAD statement.

4Save and exit the file, and then reboot the server.

Installing the Server Driver for NetWare 4.11 and 5.0 Using INETCFG

To install the driver in a NetWare 4.11or 5.0 server:

1Copy the MSM.NLM, ETHERTSM.NLM, and NBI.NLM files from the \NWSERVER directory on the EtherCD to the directory on your hard drive where other NLM files are located.

Copy the NLM files only if the versions existing on the server are older than the versions supplied on the EtherCD.

CAUTION: You can configure load balancing only through the command line interface or by manually updating the AUTOEXEC.NCF file. You cannot have load balancing automatically configured by INETCFG.SYS.

The NLM file location is typically in the sys:system directory. You need a NetWare client system to copy the NLM files to the server.

2Insert installation diskette 2 in drive A.

3At the server prompt, type:

load inetcfg
