Hints and Tips
--------------
1 Check for a LASTDRIVE statement in the CONFIG.SYS file. You must have
LASTDRIVE=Z in config.sys when using Novell's Client 32.
2 Verify that you have FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F in the NET.CFG file under
the NetWare DOS Requester section.
NOTE: NET.CFG is position sensitive, so be careful to indent lines
with one space or one tab as shown above in the example.
3 Verify that the EtherExpress adapter passes the diagnostics test by
running CONFIG.EXE on the EtherExpress driver disk. If the adapter
fails diagnostics it will not function correctly running Client 32.
USING E100ISA.LAN KEYWORD OPTIONS
---------------------------------
There are several driver keywords that are supported when loading the
EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA driver. Please see the README file titled
PRO/100 ISA DRIVER KEYWORDS for detailed information. For example:
