If you require other settings, you must change them manually, as described in Chapter 5, “Configuring the NIC Manually,” and then reboot.

If your PnP PC does not detect and automatically configure the 3Com NIC, do not assume the NIC is defective. The BIOS PnP may be an early design, or the design may be nonstandard. Use the procedures in Chapter 5, “Configuring the NIC Manually,” to disable PnP and configure the NIC.

Proceed with NIC configuration and driver installation according to the conditions described below:

If you have a single 3C319 NIC installed and want to load a single NetWare DOS ODI client, see Chapter 3, “Installing NetWare DOS Clients Automatically.” Chapter 3 describes using the 3Com AutoLink utility to configure the NIC automatically and install the DOS 16-bit client network driver for NetWare 3.12 and 4.10 systems.
