FILES INCLUDED IN THE DOS SUBDIRECTORY OF THE SMC DISKETTE This area describes the contents of the \DOS subdirectory. For more detailed information about NetWare installation, please refer to the "Novell NetWare ODI Shell for DOS" manual. ------------------------------------------------------ Filename Description ------------------------------------------------------ LSL.COM This file implements the Link Support Layer for DOS ODI workstations and is the program that is generally loaded first when booting. The Link Support Layer file enables the workstation to communicate over several protocols. IPXODI.COM This is the Novell protocol stack for DOS ODI workstations. It performs the same functions as the IPX.COM, which is used for DOS workstations. However it is optional and is loaded after the LAN driver. Other protocols can be loaded in its place or with it. This is one of the key features of the ODI environment. NETX.COM NetWare Network program. ----------------------------------------- If you use You Need ----------------------------------------- Conventional memory NETx.COM Expanded memory EMSNETx.EXE (LIM 4.0 EMS Compatible) Extended memory XMSNETx.EXE (XMS 2.0 compatible) ----------------------------------------- NETBIOS.EXE The Netbios emulation program (INT 5CH interface) allows you to run Netbios application programs based on the NETBIOS.EXE interface. The running sequence is: a. IPX shell driver IPX.COM NETBIOS.EXE ---> netbios emulation ... interface b. DOS ODI driver LSL.COM SMC1208.COM---> SMC EZ Card 10 PCI DOS ODI driver IPXODI.COM NETBIOS.EXE VLM.EXE The VLM shell and all VLM associated files. LOADING ODI DRIVERS SMC provides 2 ways to connect to your NetWare file server: 1. Connecting with the floppy drive. 2. Connecting with the hard drive. CONNECTING WITH THE FLOPPY DRIVE SMC has provided a STARTNET.BAT file on the root directory of the floppy. Using startnet.bat is a quick way to test connectivity. It can only be run from the floppy. Change to the A: drive and type STARTNET.BAT CONNECTING WITH THE HARD DRIVE 1. Boot your computer. At the DOS prompt, create the subdirectory NWCLIENT if one does not exist: C:\>MD NWCLIENT <Enter> 2. Change to the NWCLIENT directory: C:\>CD NWCLIENT <Enter> 3. Insert the SMC Driver Diskette in the floppy drive and copy all related network files from it to C:\NWCLIENT: C:\NWCLIENT>COPY A:\DOS\*.* <Enter> 4. Use a word processor or text editor to open the computer's AUTOEXEC.BAT file. 5. Add the following statements as the last statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file: C:\ C:\NWCLIENT\STARTNET.BAT or These statements allow control to transfer back to the autoexec.bat file after startnet.bat has run. C:\ CD C:\NWCLIENT @CALL STARTNET.BAT The LASTDRIVE= statement in your Config.sys file will be different if you use NETX (normally LASTDRIVE=E) or VLM (LASTDRIVE=Z). The NET.CFG file has a default Frame type of Ethernet_802.2. If you need a different frame type, modify the NET.CFG file in the C:\NWCLIENT directory. Possible frame types are: ETHERNET_802.2 ETHERNET_802.3 ETHERNET_II ETHERNET_SNAP NOTE: The frame type in your NET.CFG file must match the frame type loaded on your Novell Server. NOTE: Even if you have all four frame types listed in the net.cfg. The first frame type listed is the one that will be used when connecting to the Novell Server. SAMPLE STARTNET.BAT CD C:\NWCLIENT SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH LSL SMC1208 IPXODI VLM CHGDRV LOGIN USING LANALYZER FOR WINDOWS RXMONSTK.COM is the Receive Monitor Utility for Lanalyzer. If the monitor type applications you are using appear to stop receiving network packets when you install a new LAN driver on your workstation, load the RXMONSTK.COM file. Be sure to load this file after the LSL.COM driver but before the LAN driver. The RXMONSTK.COM operates as a TSR and requires 2684 bytes of memory. You can load only one LAN driver when using RXMONSTK. The running sequence is: LSL.COM RXMONSTK.COM SMC1208.COM ---> SMC EZ Card 10 PCI DOS ODI driver IPXODI.COM INSTALLING MULTIPLE NETWORK CARDS Use the following procedure to install two cards in the same workstation. 1. Use any text editor to add the following lines to the NET.CFG file: DOS ODI Driver (SMC1208.COM) LINK DRIVER SMC1208 SLOT x LINK DRIVER SMC1208 SLOT x where x is the number of the slot in which the card is installed. 2. Copy the NET.CFG file to the directory where the workstation's DOS ODI driver files are located. This commercial computer software and documentation is provided with RESTRICTED RIGHTS.

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.
