3-2CHAPTER 3: SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

You should know how to use the Novell installation program and have the network information, such as protocols, required for installation. If you need help with network information, see your system administrator.

The NetWare server software must be already installed but not yet running.

NetWare 3.12

Install the LANDR9.EXE and 312PTA.EXE patches from Novell. These patches upgrade the server to ODI 3.3 specifications. Then follow these steps to install the driver:

1Insert the 3Com diskette in the drive and copy all of the files from the \NWSERVER\3.12 directory on the diskette to the server hard disk.

2At the DOS prompt, enter this command to start the server software:

server

3At the console prompt, enter: load install

4Select the option to edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

Add lines to the file to load the driver and bind a protocol. For example, if C:\SERVER is the directory where you copied files in step 1 and the protocol is IPX, add these lines:

load c:\server\tif.lan bind ipx tif net = number

where number is the unique IPX internal network number assigned to the network.

5Save the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

6Exit to DOS and restart the server.

NetWare 4.1x

Follow these steps to install the driver:

1At the DOS prompt, enter this command to start the server software:

server

2At the console prompt, enter:
