Software Installation

11Delete the old Intel configuration files from the Windows system directory.

12Restart Windows.

13Follow the instructions for installing drivers for Windows for Workgroups alone or Windows for Workgroups and NetWare.

Novell NetWare

ODI Driver

The Intel ODI driver allows for the concurrent use of Novell NetWare and other protocols that support Novell’s Open Data-Link Interface (ODI) specification.

NetWare

1Run the Intel Installation Program from the Installation Disk.

2Choose Novell NetWare from the Select Network Operating System screen.

3Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

4The Intel Installation Program will reboot the computer and verify the NetWare connection.

5Log in to the network.

NOTE:

The Intel Installation Program uses the NetWare VLM shell to connect to your NetWare server. The Installation Program decompresses and copies all the required files.

If you are installing manually, without the Intel Installation Program (under MS- DOS or Windows 3.x) you must first decompress the VLM files by running the MS-DOS batch file DCOMPVLM.BAT from the Network Drivers Disk, as follows:

DCOMPVLM [PATH]

where [path] is the directory for NetWare files (usually C:\NWCLIENT). DCOMPVLM will decompress and copy all required files to the designated direc- tory.

If you need NETX shell support, contact your System Administrator.
