To Install NetWare 32 bit LAN Driver, in order to ensure the
INF file will be searched first by WIN95 system, please run
PUTINF32.BAT first in Windows95 DOS prompt.
PUTINF32.BAT will to do below step 1-6 procedure.
Ex. > PUTINF32.bat C:\WINDOWS ; C:\WINDOWS is Windows 95
; default directory.
1. In Windows 95, go to the \Windows\INF\ directory.
2. Remove the old NWETHPCI.INF file (if it exists).
3. Create a temporary directory and copy all the files from the
\Windows\INF\ directory to this temporary directory.
4. Delete all the files (*.INF) in the \Windows\INF\ directory.
5. Copy the new NWETHPCI.INF into \Windows\INF\ directory.
6. Now copy all the files back from the temporary directory you
created to the \Windows\INF\ directory.
NWETHPCI.INF should now be the first one Windows sees in the
loading process, and be loaded before any others for the same
adapter.
Remove any adapter from the Network Control Panel for any cards
that are no longer in the system or are going to be removed,
including ODINSUP and any asscoiated files.
Shut down the system, remove the old card, install the new card,
and turn on the system.
Watch WIN95 auto-detect the hardware, and select correct new ODI
driver to be installed. If not, you may select the "Have Disk"
option for installation, in which case you will be prompted to
input the path where the driver located:
ex. A:\NETWARE\32BITLAN, if floppy disk is used.
You will then be prompted for Client 32 diskettes.
