Server Driver for NetWare 4.X
Introduction:
-------------
This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v4.X
server driver for ISA Plug&Play ethernet adapter.
Location of Driver: \NETWARE\SERVER\4X\PNPNWSRV.LAN
Installaton Procedure :
---------------------
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
the Novell NetWare v4.X server is properly installed.
Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your
server.
1. Insert the ethernet Driver Diskette into drive A and check the
contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\SERVER\4X, It should contain the
following file :
PNPNWSRV.LANÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V4.X Server Driver
PNPNWSRV.LDIÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V4.X Server Driver Installation
Information File
2. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name), run the
INSTALL.NLM program by typing:
server name: LOAD INSTALL <Enter>
3. Select "Maintenance/Selective Install" and press <Enter>.
4. Select " LAN Driver Options (Configure/Load/...) " and press
<Enter>.
5. Press the <Ins> key to specify other drivers to install.
6. Press <F3> and specify the driver path (A:\NETWARE\SERVER\4X)
and press <Enter>.
7. The PNPNWSRV.LAN driver should appear in your choice list for the
'Select a LAN Driver' field. Choose this driver to start the
driver loading and binding procedure. This will allow you to
load and bind all 4 frame types supported by NetWare.
8. Add the LOAD and BIND statements you require to the server's
AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the LAN driver will load automatically
each time the server starts up.
Installation Notes:
-------------------
1. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters:
The keyword "EtherID" is the ethernet ID of a adapter. This
keyword is provided for multiple LAN adapters in a single server
by the driver PNPNWSRV.LAN. So, add EtherID in LOAD commands. For
example:
LOAD PNPNWSRV EtherID=0000B4123456 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LANA
BIND IPX TO LANA NET=11
LOAD PNPNWSRV EtherID=0000B4123456 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LANB
BIND IPX TO LANB NET=22
2. The default frame type for the NetWare v4.X binding is
Ethernet_802.2 and not Ethernet_802.3. This is the difference
between V3.11 and V4.X of NetWare operating system.
3. Edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF if you want to change some parameters.
For example, if you're using a NetWare 3.11 workstation and
wants to log into a NetWare v4.X server. The default frame type
of NetWare 3.11 is Ethernet 802.3, while that of NetWare v4.X is
Ethernet 802.2. Before you can log into the NetWare v4.X, make
sure there is a protocol binding for Ethernet 802.3 in the
server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
