NetWare 4.x Server Novell NetWare* 4.x INSTALLATION NOTES FOR THE INTEL EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA ADAPTER ================================================================== DRIVER LOCATION --------------- Location of Driver: \NETWARE\E100ISA.LAN REQUIRED NLMS FOR NETWARE 4.x ------------------------------ This version of E100ISA.LAN auto-loads three Novell NLMs (ETHERTSM, MSM, and NBI) when you load the E100ISA.LAN driver. You may need to update the versions of these three NLMS currently installed on your NetWare 4.x file server to: MSM.NLM (07-01-96 v3.17 or later) ETHERTSM.NLM (07-03-96 v3.11 or later) NBI.NLM (05-10-96 v1.44 or later) Make sure you use these (or later) versions. Earlier versions may not work properly or generate this error message: "Loader cannot find public symbol: <symbol name>" If you need these updated Novell NetWare NLMs, you can download a file called 100ILAN.EXE available on any of the Intel automated services (BBS, FTP, WWW). Please refer to the readme titled " Using Intel's automated customer support" for information on how to download the file. GENERAL INSTALLATION -------------------- 1 From the DOS prompt on the server, copy the EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA adapter driver (\NETWARE\E100ISA.LAN) to the Novell directory on the DOS partition of the server's hard drive (drive C:). 2 If necessary, copy the updated Novell NLMs to the Novell directory on the DOS partition of the server's hard drive (drive C:). 3 Start NetWare by typing SERVER or the name of your startup batch file. 4 Load the updated Novell NLMs. LOAD C:<PATH>\MSM LOAD C:<PATH>\ETHERTSM 5 Load the EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA driver. At the server's colon (:) prompt, type: LOAD C:<PATH>\E100ISA 6 Bind the driver. At the server's colon (:) prompt, type: BIND IPX TO E100ISA NET=xx WHERE: xx is the external network number. At this point you should be able to log into the server from a workstation. TO MAKE THIS PERMANENT ---------------------- Using Novell's INSTALL program, edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file to add the LOAD and BIND statements for the EtherExpress adapter. 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: LOAD C:\E100ISA MEDIATYPE=HALF100 RXEARLY=OFF USE32BITIO=NO INSTALLING MULTIPLE ETHEREXPRESS PRO/100 ISA ADAPTERS ----------------------------------------------------- If you have multiple network adapters in a single server, each adapter must have a different NETwork number, a different SERIAL Also, You must name each adapter using the "NAME=" parameter. For example: LOAD C:\E100ISA SERIAL=044721 NAME=LANA BIND IPX TO LANA NET=10 LOAD C:\E100ISA SERIAL=044735 NAME=LANB BIND IPX TO LANB NET=20 NOTE: The serial number is the last six digits of the EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA MAC address. The MAC address lable is on the back of the EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA LAN adapter. INSTALLING ONE ETHEREXPRESS CARD WITH MULTIPLE FRAME TYPES ---------------------------------------------------------- When binding multiple frame types to one card, enter a LOAD statement for each frame type. You must name each board using the "NAME=" parameter. For example: LOAD C:\E100ISA FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=LAN8022 BIND IPX TO LAN8022 NET=10 LOAD C:\E100ISA FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=LANII BIND IPX TO LANII NET=20 Do not confuse the NETwork number with the internal IPX number. They need to be different. See the NetWare Installation manual for more information. TCP/IP ------ If you are using NetWare's TCP/IP NLM, you must load an Ethernet type II frame and bind the EtherExpress adapter to TCPIP. For example: LOAD C:\E100ISA FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=LAN_IPX BIND IPX TO LAN_IPX NET=10 LOAD C:\E100ISA FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=LAN_IP LOAD TCPIP FORWARD=YES BIND IP TO LAN_IP ADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your internet address. ERROR MESSAGE: "Loader cannot find public symbol: <symbol name>" "Load file referenced undefined public variable" ---------------------------------------------------------------- This error message occurs when the server is loading older versions of ETHERTSM.NLM or MSM.NLM. CUSTOM STATISTICS ----------------- The PRO/100 ISA server driver maintains the following custom statistics, which can be viewed by loading the NetWare MONITOR program: Current Line Speed (Mbps): 10 or 100 Duplex Mode (0 = Half, 1 = Full): 0 or 1 Link State (0=Down, 1=Up, 2=Unknown): 0, 1, or 2 Receive Symbol Errors (100 Mbps only): count Get RCB Attempts Reject Count: count Early Receive Interrupts Count: count Back-to-back Send Count: count No Transmit Resources Count: count If the driver's MEDIATYPE setting for the PRO/100 ISA adapter is AUTO (or was not been specified) the Current Line Speed, Duplex Mode, and Link State are updated any time that the driver detects changes in the PRO/100 ISA adapter and its physical network connection. Receive Symbol Errors apply to 100 Mbps operation only. They are also counted in the General Statistics Checksum Errors counter. If the Get RCB Attempts Reject Count is counting upward quickly, it probably means that some client station(s) on the network is not using the correct FRAME type to communicate to the server or that the server does not have the correct FRAME types bound to the IPX protocol stack. The Early Receive Interrupts Count gives an indication of how much early receive packet processing is happening. This count will remain at 0 if RXEARLY=OFF has been used or if both RXBURSTCOUNT and RXBURSTTIMEOUT have been specified. The Back-to-back Send Count is the number of packets that were queued to the driver for transmission while the driver was busy. The No Transmit Resources Count is the number of transmit attempts that failed because the driver had run out of transmit descriptors. * Third-party trademarks are the property of their respective owners.Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
