Using NetWare ODI

This section describes how to load NetWare drivers in the following networking situations:

One or more adapters in a client

One or more adapters in a server

One Adapter in a Client

3Com’s AutoLink installation program automatically installs all necessary NetWare DOS ODI client software, including drivers and modifies the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. It automatically logs on to the server and updates the client software if your system administrator has already configured a 3Install account on the server. Instructions for configuring a 3Install account are contained in the README.TXT file located in the \QINSTALL\SERVER directory on the 3C59X EtherDisk diskette.

AutoLink Requirements

To use the AutoLink program to install the NetWare DOS ODI driver, your computer must meet the following requirements:

Use the Novell NetWare 2.x, 3.1x, or 4.x network operating system

Have only one 3C595-T4 adapter installed

Have at least 1 MB of hard disk space available

Be intended for use as a NetWare DOS ODI client

If this does not describe your network environment, refer to the appropriate section later in this chapter.
