Windows for Workgroups 3.11 with ODI v1.00 Microsoft Windows* for Workgroups 3.11 installation notes for Intel's EtherExpress(TM) PRO/100B LAN Adapter using ODI drivers. ===================================================================== Location of driver: \DOS\E100BODI.COM Sample load commands ==================== CD\NWCLIENT LSL E100BODI IPXODI CD\ General instructions ==================== 1 From the \DOS directory on the Intel Configuration and Drivers disk, copy LSL.COM, E100BODI.COM, IPXODI.COM, and NET.CFG to a directory on your hard disk called C:\NWCLIENT. 2 Create a batch file, or add to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file the following commands to run before you start Windows for Workgroups: CD\NWCLIENT LSL E100BODI IPXODI CD\ 3 After the ODI drivers are loaded, start up Windows for Workgroups using the /N parameter. Example: C:\WINDOWS WIN /N 4 After Windows for Workgroups comes up, select the "NETWORK SETUP" icon in the Network Group. 5 Click on "NETWORKS". 6 Select "INSTALL MICROSOFT WINDOWS NETWORK" and click on OK. 7 <Optional> Click on "SHARING" and configure for printer and file sharing and click on OK. 8 Click on "DRIVERS". 9 If you are replacing a previous installed LAN adapter, click on "Remove" to delete that adapter. 10 Click on "Add Adapter". 11 Select "IPXODI SUPPORT DRIVER [ETHERNET]" from the Add Network Adapter list and click on OK. 12 From the NetWork Drivers menu, click on "CLOSE". 13 From the NetWork Setup menu, click on OK. 14 Windows for Workgroups asks if you want to replace the files currently installed with the version you are installing now. Click on "YES TO ALL". 15 Windows for Workgroups prompts you for Windows for Workgroups Disk 7 & Disk 8 as it updates the files. 16 After the files have been updated, Windows for Workgroups notifies you that it has modified NET.CFG, CONFIG.SYS, SYSTEM.INI, WIN.INI, and PROTOCOL.INI. Click on OK. 17 Windows for Workgroups prompts you to reset your computer for the changes to take effect. Click on "RESTART COMPUTER". Hints and tips ============== Windows for Workgroups creates the PROTOCOL.INI for you. This sample is provided for reference: C:\WINDOWS\PROTOCOL.INI [network.setup] version=0x3110 netcard=ms$odimac,1,MS$ODIMAC,4 transport=ms$nwlinknb,NWLINK transport=ms$netbeui,NETBEUI lana0=ms$odimac,1,ms$netbeui lana1=ms$odimac,1,ms$nwlinknb [net.cfg] PATH=C:\NWCLIENT\NET.CFG [MS$ODIMAC] [Link Driver E100BODI] data=Frame Ethernet_SNAP data=Frame Ethernet_802.2 data=Frame Ethernet_II data=Frame Ethernet_802.3 [NWLINK] BINDINGS=E100BODI [NETBEUI] BINDINGS=E100BODI LANABASE=0 SESSIONS=10 NCBS=12 Windows for Workgroups will modify CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and NET.CFG for you. These samples are provided for reference: C:\CONFIG.SYS: device=c:\dos\himem.sys device=c:\dos\emm386.exe stacks=9,256 files=50 buffers=25 device=c:\windows\ifshlp.sys C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT: c:\windows\net start path=c:\dos;c:\nwclient;c:\windows set temp=c:\windows prompt $p$g cd\nwclient lsl e100Bodi ipxodi c:\windows\odihlp.exe C:\NWCLIENT\NET.CFG: Link Driver E100BODI frame ethernet_802.2 frame ethernet_802.3 frame ethernet_II frame ethernet_SNAP Troubleshooting tips ==================== A Check the version of EMM386.EXE that you are using. You must be using EMM386.EXE v4.49 or later. This version of EMM386.EXE ships with DOS 6.22. B Make sure that the adapters will pass diagnostics - both on board diagnostics and the network test in SETUP.EXE. If the adapters will not pass network diagnostics, verify your network cable is wired correctly and/or try another network cable. Windows for Workgroups will not run correctly if the network diagnostics do not pass. C If you are connecting two EtherExpress PRO/100B adapters without a hub, you need a special cable called a crossover cable. A crossover cable will have the Transmit and Receive pairs crossed instead of running straight through. There is a diagram of a crossover cable included in the information files on the EtherExpress PRO/100B driver diskette. To view the diagram, run SETUP /readme from the Intel Configuration and Drivers diskette, select Hardware specifications and cabling information, and then select 10 Mbps cabling specifications. The crossover cable will work for 100B Mbps or 10 Mbps, but is intended for test purposes only and is not a supported cable configuration. D If the adapters pass network diagnostics but still do not work in Windows for Workgroups, there could be a problem with the file C:\WINDOWS\PROTOCOL.INI. If you have made several attempts to setup networking in Windows for Workgroups, or had another adapter installed before the EtherExpress PRO/100B, it may be necessary to restore the PROTOCOL.INI to the default and then install the driver for the EtherExpress PRO/100B. You can set this file back to default by following these steps: 1 Start up Windows for Workgroups using the /N parameter. Example: C:\WINDOWS WIN /N 2 After Windows for Workgroups comes up, select the "Network SETUP" icon in the NetWork Group. 3 Click on "NETWORKS". 4 Select "NO WINDOWS SUPPORT FOR NETWORKS" and click on OK. 5 From the NetWork Setup menu, click on OK. 6 Windows for Workgroups will notify you that it has modified NET.CFG, CONFIG.SYS, SYSTEM.INI, WIN.INI, and PROTOCOL.INI. Click on OK. 7 Windows for Workgroups will prompt you to reset your computer for the changes to take effect. Click on "RESTART COMPUTER". This process will set the file C:\WINDOWS\PROTOCOL.INI back to default and disable the Windows for Workgroups network. After the workstation reboots, start Windows for Workgroups and reconfigure the NetWork Setup as described above under General Instructions. E If Windows for Workgroups fails to detect that the ODI drivers are loaded while running NetWork Setup, you will get this error message when starting Windows for Workgroups: "THE FOLLOWING ERRORS OCCURRED WHILE LOADING PROTOCOL NUMBER 0: ERROR 58: THE NETWORK HAS RESPONDED INCORRECTLY. YOU MAY NEED TO RECONFIGURE THE PROTOCOL USING NETWORK SETUP." Because Windows for Workgroups was not able to detect which ODI driver was loaded, it will add the variable "XXXX" to the NET.CFG and PROTOCOL.INI files where it should have specified "E100BODI". When this error occurs, you will need to manually edit the NET.CFG and PROTOCOL.INI that Windows for Workgroups created to match the sample NET.CFG and PROTOCOL.INI shown above. Here are the entries that need to be changed: 1 In the PROTOCOL.INI, under the section heading [net.cfg], change "PATH=C:\Windows\net.cfg" to "PATH=C:\nwclient\net.cfg". 2 In the PROTOCOL.INI, change the section heading [Link Driver XXXX] to [Link Driver E100BODI]. 3 In the PROTOCOL.INI, under the section heading [NWLINK], change both occurrences of "BINDINGS=XXXX" to "BINDINGS=E100BODI". 4 In the NET.CFG, change "Link Driver XXXX" to "Link Driver E100BODI" Compare your changes to PROTOCOL.INI and NET.CFG to the sample files provided previously in this document for examples of the correct format and syntax. F If you choose to add Novell NetWare support to Windows for Workgroups when selecting Networks, you will be prompted for the following Novell NetWare files: NETWARE.DRV, NETWARE.HLP, NWPOPUP.EXE, VIPX.386, VNETWARE.386 These files are Novell NetWare files and are not on the Intel Configuration and Drivers diskette. You can get these files from CompuServe in Novell's forum called Novell NetWire by downloading a self-extracting file called WINDR1.EXE. If you are not a member of CompuServe, you can call Novell to have them mailed to you. Or contact a Novell NetWare dealer in your area.Download Driver Pack
