11When the path for the configuration files is displayed, verify that the path is correct and press Enter.

12Press Enter again to return to DOS and edit the STARTNET.BAT file.

13Add the NIC’s slot number in the STARTNET.BAT file as follows:

load c:\novell\client32\tlnkpodi.lan frame=token-ring msb slot=<nnnn>

where <nnnn> is the slot number.

If you do not know your NIC’s slot number, you can turn off your PC, remove the cover, and check the slot.

14On the same LOAD line, you can set the NIC’s ring speed as follows.

load c:\novell\client32\tlnkpodi.lan...ringspeed=<auto 4 16>

where <auto 4 16> is the ring speed setting:

Auto — Allows the NIC to automatically detect the ring speed. (This is the default setting.)

4 — Disables auto ring speed detection and sets the NIC ring speed at 4 Mbps.

16 — Disables auto ring speed detection and sets the NIC ring speed at 16 Mbps.

15Restart your workstation to start Client32.

The system prompts you for the 3C359 NIC’s slot when the TLNKPODI.LAN driver is loaded.
