Server Driver for NetWare 3.11
v3.03
NetWare* 3.11 Server Driver Installation Notes for Intel's EtherExpress(TM)
PRO/10 LAN Adapter
===========================================================================
Location of Driver: \NWSERVER\EPRO311.LAN
Sample Load Commands
--------------------
LOAD C:\EPRO311 PORT=xxx FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
BIND IPX TO EPRO311 NET=xxxxxxxx
General Installations
---------------------
If you have a Plug and Play BIOS, make sure you DISABLE Plug and Play on
your adapter using SoftSet2 (Advanced Options menu). NetWare servers don't
support Plug and Play (they don't support a Configuration Manager). As a
result, NetWare servers may not be able to find your adapter if Plug and
Play is enabled.
1 Install NetWare 3.11 according to the NetWare 3.11 installation manual.
2 Prior to bringing up the server, copy the LAN adapter driver from the
\NWSERVER directory on the LAN adapter driver disk to the root directory
of the hard drive of the server.
3 Bring up the server, and at the server console issue the load and bind
statement(s) as required. See the example above and substitute "xxx"
with valid parameters for that adapter. PORT= refers to the I/O port
address and NET= is the unique address for that LAN network segment. If
you have workstations using the 802.2 frame type, see below for using
multiple frame types on one adapter.
4 Add the load and bind statements you require to the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF
file so the EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 adapter driver will load
automatically each time the server starts up.
Hints and Tips
--------------
1. Installing multiple EtherExpress PRO/10 LAN adapters:
If you have multiple LAN adapters in a single server, each adapter must
have a different network number and a different port number. You may also
want to name each adapter for ease of management. For example
LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=300 NAME=LAN_A
BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=222
LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=320 NAME=LAN_B
BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=333
2 Installing one EtherExpress PRO/10 adapter with multiple frame types:
When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, enter a load and bind
statement for each frame type. Each load statement will use the same
port number but a different network number is required on the bind
statement. You need to supply a name on each load line in order to avoid
being prompted for which board to bind IPX to.
If you do not have the name option in the AUTOEXEC.NCF, it will not
execute completely without user intervention.
Example:
LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=LAN8023
BIND IPX TO LAN8023 NET=77777
LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=LAN8022
BIND IPX TO LAN8022 NET=88888

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.
