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 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 NIC installed and have 1 MB of free hard disk space.

Running the AutoLink Program

1Install the NIC and connect it to the network, as described in Chapter 2.

2Reboot, using a DOS diskette.

3Insert EtherDisk Diskette #1 in drive A.

4Run the Install program. Enter: a:install

This opens the main menu.

5From the main menu, select Auto Install and Conﬁg for NetWare (AutoLink) and press Enter.

6Select DOS, Windows 3.1x, or Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and follow the instructions.

7When the auto installation process is ﬁnished, remove EtherDisk Diskette #1 and reboot the PC.

If you are running Windows 3.1x, after you connect to the NetWare server, run the WSINSTALL program for full Windows support. Contact your MIS department for the location of this NetWare utility.
