You can also obtain the latest drivers on the 3Com bulletin board (3ComBBS). For information on how to access 3ComBBS, see Appendix B.
Installing the NetWare Server Driver
If you already have a network connection on your PC, ask your network administrator how to proceed with the installation. For existing network connections, some of the following instructions may not apply or may produce different results.
Drivers and NetWare Loadable Modules (NLMs) for NetWare versions 3.12 and 4.1x are located in these directories on the 3Com diskette:
■NetWare 3.12: \NWSERVER\3.12
■NetWare 4.1x: \NWSERVER\4.1x
Use the most recent NLMs available. Compare the versions that accompanied your NetWare software with the NLM files on the 3Com diskette, and use the latest versions. For the latest NLMs, contact Novell.
