3Com Corporation Network Drivers Installation Notes WINDOWS NT AND NOVELL NETWARE This document describes how to configure the 3C562 card for use with Windows NT v3.51 (Server or Workstation) and Novell NetWare. If you have Windows NT v3.50 or earlier, you will need to upgrade your system to v3.51 or later. Versions prior to Windows NT v3.51 do not have PC card support, and therefore do not support the 3C562 card. NOTE: The following instructions assume that you have not installed any other network adapter in the machine. If you have been using a network connection on your computer, some of the following instructions may not apply or may produce different results. Refer with your MIS department for instructions. Before installing the network driver, you should know the following: - Transport used in the Novell Network (typically IPX/SPX) - Frame type used in the network (typically 802.2) - Name of your Novell file server - Name (if applicable) of the NT Domain or NT Workgroup to which you belong Also, for a successful installation, you will need: - Windows NT system installation files (either on hard disk, floppy diskettes, or CD) - 3C562 LAN+Modem card and the accompanying EtherDisk diskette Installation instructions: 1. Turn on the computer and log on. 2. Go to the MAIN group and select the Control Panel icon. 3. From the Control Panel, select the Network icon. 4. When the system prompts: Windows NT Networking is not installed. Install it now? click YES. 6. Click DO NOT DETECT. Windows NT does not fully support Plug and Play and cannot automatically detect the LAN+Modem card. 7. When the ADD NETWORK ADAPTER dialog box appears, it displays a list of adapter names. Click the down arrow until you can select: <Other> Requires disk from manufacturer 8. When the list of adapters closes, click CONTINUE. This opens the INSERT DISK dialog box and prompts you for the location of a driver file. The driver file is located on the EtherDisk in the \NDIS\WINNT35 directory. Type the directory path, A:\NDIS\WINNT35 and click OK. 9. When the SELECT OEM OPTION window opens with a description of the LAN+Modem card, click OK. This opens a dialog box called Etherlink III LAN+Modem PC Card V1.50. 10. Enter the settings for the LAN+Modem card. Since Windows NT currently does not support Plug and Play, you must supply the appropriate settings for the card. In most cases, the default settings will work, but if you are unsure about what settings to use, ask your system administrator or MIS department. When the settings are entered, click OK to open the Windows NT Setup dialog box. 11. In the Windows NT Setup dialog box, select the network transport protocol that Windows NT will use. The TCP/IP transport will already be selected for use. If you have no specific reason to use TCP/IP, you may delete it now. In this dialog box, also select the appropriate transport for the NetWare client. Most Novell networks use the NWLink IPX/SPX Compatible Transport. If you are not sure, ask your system administrator or MIS department. When Windows NT Setup is complete, click OK to open the Network Settings dialog box. 12. Click ADD SOFTWARE. This opens the Add Network Software dialog box. 13. Select CLIENT SERVICE FOR NETWARE and click CONTINUE. This opens the Windows NT Setup screen. Supply the name of the drive or directory where your NT system installation files reside and click CONTINUE. This returns you to the Network Settings dialog box. 14. Click OK to open the NW Link IPX/SPX Protocol Configuration dialog box. For most networks, the AUTO DETECTED selection will work. When done selecting the frame type, click OK. 15. The next window is the Domain/Workgroup Settings window. Select the appropriate domain or workgroup name for Windows Networking. This name has nothing to do with the Novell client. Enter the appropriate domain/workgroup name here. When these steps are complete, you must restart your computer. Remove the EtherDisk diskette from Drive A and click the Restart button. After the computer reboots, it opens a dialog box titled Select Preferred Server for NetWare. Type the name of your home server. When this step is complete, you should be able to log on to the server. NOTE: The Windows NT user's login name and the Novell NetWare login name need to be EXACTLY the same for you to log on to a Novell NetWare server. (%VER NOVWINNT.TXT v1.0c)Download Driver Pack
