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.
PNPODI.COM PNP ISA Ethernet Adapter DOS ODI Driver
NET.CFG Sample Configuration File
IPXODI.COM This is Novell's 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.EXE NetWare Network program.
--------------------------------------
If you use You Need
--------------------------------------
Conventional memory NETx.EXE
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 run sequence is:
LSL.COM
PNPODI.COM ---> DOS ODI driver
IPXODI.COM
NETBIOS.EXE
...
RXMONSTK.COM RXMONSTK.COM is Receive Monitor Utility for Monitor Type
Applications (Such as Lan Analyzer)
If the monitor type applications you are using
seems to stop receiving network packets when you
install a new LAN driver on your workstation, load
the RXMONSTK.COM file.
Load the RXMONSTK.COM 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 the RxMonStk.
The run sequence is:
LSL.COM
RXMONSTK.COM
PNPODI.COM ---> DOS ODI driver
IPXODI.COM

Installation:
=============
Driver Installation with existing Netware client programs:
---------------------------------------------------------
A) Using NETX.EXE:
If there are Netware client programs such as LSL.COM, IPXODI, and
NETX.EXE in your system already, you can use the following procedures
to setup your system.
1. Copy the A:\NETWARE\DOSODI\PNPODI.COM file to the Netware client
directory which contains NET.CFG, LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM, and NETX.EXE
files.
2. Update the NET.CFG file. You can refer to the NET.CFG sample.
3. Make sure to add LASTDRIVE=E in your CONFIG.SYS file if your want the
first network drive to be F.
4. Enter the following commands to connect to your Novell server:
LSL
PNPODI
IPXODI
NETX
F:
LOGIN <user_name>
B) Using VLM.EXE:
If there are Netware client programs such as: LSL.COM, IPXODI, and
VLM.EXE in your system already, you can use the following procedures
to setup your system.
1. Copy the A:\NETWARE\DOSODI\PNPODI.COM file to the Netware client
directory which contains NET.CFG, LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM, and VLM.EXE
with related *.VLM files.
2. Update the NET.CFG file. You can refer to the NET.CFG sample.
3. Make sure to add LASTDRIVE=Z in your CONFIG.SYS file.
4. Enter the following commands to connect to your Novell server:
LSL
PNPODI
IPXODI
VLM
F:
LOGIN <user_name>

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.
