Getting Started
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Please read all methods below and choose the one that matches your
configuration.
Method 1 -- NDIS Driver
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
When using PC-NFS concurrently with LAN Manager, select the "NDIS"
option from the PC-NFS installation screen. This option works with
the NDIS driver included in the provided driver diskette. Copy the
files listed below into the \NFS directory of your hard disk. These
files will be used in the installation.
File Description

NFS-NDIS.SYS PC-NFS driver program
TEPCI.DOS NDIS driver program
PROTMAN.SYS MS PROTOCOL MANAGER
NETBIND.EXE MS LAN MANAGER Netbind

To use the NDIS driver, the user needs to obtain a PC-NFS 5.0
QUIKNDIS diskette which will install all but the PCI Family driver.
NDIS for DOS Driver Parameter
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
PROTOCOL.INI of PCI Family Adapter
Drivername = TEPCI$
DATA_RATE = MB10 --> 10M bps
MB100 --> 100M bps
This parameter specifies the configuration of data rate of
the network adapter.
If DATA_RATE does not specified, it will auto detect
the date rate.
SLOT = 1
This parameter specifies the slot number used for notifications.
For PCI slot, you can specify from 1 to 16.
SIA_MODE = AUTOSENSE --> Auto detect the media type
TP --> Media type is UTP
TP_FULL_DUPLEX --> Media type is UTP and Full-duplex
BNC --> Media type is BNC
This parameter specifies the connector type configuration of
the network adapter card .
Method 2 -- Packet Driver
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
When using PC-NFS independently, select the "OTHER" option from the
PC-NFS installation screen. This option works with the PACKET driver
included in the provided driver diskette. Copy the files listed
below into the \NFS directory of your hard disk. These files will be
used in the installation.
File Description

Method 3 -- ODI Driver
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
When using PC-NFS concurrently with NetWare 3.1x/4.0, select the
"ODI" option from the PC-NFS installation screen. This option works
with the ODI driver included in the provided driver diskette. Copy
the files listed below into the \NFS directory of your hard disk.
These files will be used in the installation.

If your Novell FILE SERVER is configured to use the Ethernet_802.3
frame type, add a /b2 switch to the line DEVICE=C:\NFS\NFSODI.SYS
in your CONFIG.SYS file and add an entry in your NET.CFG file
defining the two frames types.
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.
