NOVELL NETWARE

3 ENVIRONMENTS

This chapter describes how to install a 3C359 NIC network device driver for various Novell NetWare network operating system environments.

Before you install a NetWare driver, make sure that the 3C359 NIC is inserted in the PC as described in Chapter 2.

Installing a DOS 16-Bit Client Driver

This section describes installing the DOS 16-bit client driver using two methods:

■Automatically, using the 3Com AutoLink software utility

■Manually, using a NetWare installation utility and TokenDisk diskette or CD

Installing a DOS 16-Bit Client Automatically

The 3Com AutoLink software utility automatically conﬁgures one 3C359 NIC and installs the DOS 16-bit ODI client network driver for NetWare 3.12 and 4.1x systems. This section describes running the AutoLink program.

AutoLink Software Functions

AutoLink software conﬁgures your PC as a NetWare DOS ODI client. The AutoLink installation utility performs the following functions:

■Installs a DOS NetWare Universal Client Virtual Loadable Module (VLM) from TokenDisk diskette #1, or from the TokenDisk CD.

The AutoLink installation utility cannot be used to install multiple 3C359 NICs.

■Modiﬁes the CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and NET.CFG ﬁles. (The previous versions of these ﬁles are renamed CONFIG.3CM, AUTOEXEC.3CM, and NET.3CM.)
