If you have previously installed Novell Netware Client 32 under
your Windows 95 system, skip this section and see
"Method 2" below.
Client 32 Diskette Installation:
. Copy(Override) the NWDLKPCI.INF file to Disk 1 (setup) of the Client 32
for Windows 95 software.
. Copy the new DLKPCI.LAN driver to the Client 32 LAN driver
diskette (32-bit).
. Add a new reference line into the "INF Files" section of
the NWSETUP.INI file.
Note: NWSETUP.INI can be found on Disk 1, or in the \NOVELL\CLIENT32\
INSTALL directory after installation.
Sample of NWSETUP.INI file:

[INF Files]
1=NWClient.inf
2=NWTrans.inf
3=ODINSUP.inf
4=NE3200.inf <--- replace the line to 4=NWDLKPCI.inf
5=NE2000.inf
6=NE15_21.inf
7=NE2.inf
8=NE2_32.inf
.
.
Shut down the system, remove the older card, add the new card, turn
on the system.
Remove adapters from the Network control panel for any cards that
are no longer in the system or are going to be removed.
In "System Settings Change" window, select "No".
Continue to install NetWare Client 32.
Run the Client 32 install using SETUP.EXE, check the box to replace
NDIS with ODI.
(The WIN95 CD will probably be required)
In "Select Device" windows, select "D-Link" for Manufacturers,
and select proper model for your PCI LAN adapter.
After installation completed, reboot the machine.
Watch WIN95 auto-detect the hardware. The correct new ODI driver
should be installed.
Method 2:
Installing a new Auto Detect Network Card on WIN95 WITH Client 32

In Windows 95, go to the \Windows\INF\ directory.
Remove the old NWDLKPCI.INF file (if it exists).
Create a temporary directory and copy all the files from the
\Windows\INF\ directory to this temporary directory.
Verify that the copy completed properly and the two directories
contain the same files.
Delete all the files (*.INF) in the \Windows\INF\ directory.
Copy the new NWDLKPCI.INF into \Windows\INF\ directory.
Now copy all the files back from the temporary directory you created
to the \Windows\INF\ directory.
NWDLKPCI.INF should now be the first one Windows sees in the loading
process, and be loaded before any others for the same adapter.
Remove any adapter from the Network Control Panel for any cards that
are no longer in the system or are going to be removed, including
ODINSUP and any asscoiated files.
Shut down the system, remove the old card, install the new card,
and turn on the system.
Watch WIN95 auto-detect the hardware, and select correct new ODI
driver to be installed. If not, you may select the "Have Disk"
option for installation, in which case you will be prompted to
input the path where the driver located:
ex. A:\CLIENT32.95, if floppy disk is used.
C:\CLIENT32.95, if hard disk is used.
You will then be prompted for Client 32 diskettes.
Complete the Client 32 installation.
