and use text editor to edit STARTNET.BAT file directly.
TroubleShooting
---------------
If you experience the warning messages displayed when STARTNET.BAT
is executed, "Command Line Parameter Prompt for FETPCI" then
follow the instructions as below:
Change
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\FETPCI.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
to
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\FETPCI.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 SLOT=1
in STARTNET.BAT, where SLOT must be the correct value as found
by driver.
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.
