4-4 CHAPTER 4: LOADING NETWORK DRIVERS

contained in the README.TXT file located in the \QINSTALL\SERVER directory on the 3C59X EtherDisk diskette.

If no 3Install account exists, the drivers will be loaded from the diskette (rather than from the server). In this case, they may not be the most current versions.

DOS ODI client drivers that support the 3Com EISA adapter support shared interrupts. However, since there is no industry standard to support shared interrupts, other adapters may support them differently, or not at all. If another EISA adapter does not support shared interrupts, contact its manufacturer for a shared interrupt driver.

AutoLink Requirements

To use the AutoLink feature to install the NetWare DOS ODI driver, your computer must meet the following requirements:

Use the Novell NetWare 2.x, 3.1x, or 4.x network operating system

Have only one 3C592 EISA adapter installed

Be intended for use as a NetWare DOS ODI client

If this does not describe your network environment, refer to the appropriate section later in this chapter.

AutoLink Installation

To use the AutoLink program to install NetWare DOS ODI client software on a PC with a single adapter, complete the following steps.

You can use the AUTOLINK.CFG file to modify the AutoLink process. The AUTOLINK.CFG file in the root directory contains default settings and descriptions of other control parameters.

1Make sure that you have booted the computer under DOS, version 3.1 or later, and that your computer is connected to the network (refer to Chapter 2).
