Section 1 INSTALLING THE NETWARE DOS ODI CLIENT DRIVER
-------------------------------------------------------
The NetWare DOS ODI Client Driver follows standard Novell
installation procedures for DOS ODI client drivers.
Note: If you are running an Extended Memory Manager (EMM), be sure
to run the most current version of EMM386.EXE (v4.49 or later).
There is a known problem running previous versions of EMM386.EXE
with many PCI systems.
Perform the following steps to install the NetWare DOS ODI Client
Driver:
1. Verify that the network interface card (NIC) is properly
configured and installed. Refer to the adapter's "User
Information" document for instructions.
2. Enter the following command to copy the Novell NetWare DOS ODI
client driver to the DOS workstation:
COPY A:\NOVELL\DOSODI\DEPCA.COM
3. Copy the Novell NetWare Workstation files to the DOS workstation
as described in "Novell NetWare ODI Shell for DOS" supplied with
your NetWare v3.1X software.
4. Configure the NET.CFG file.
The client driver and the NetWare workstation files use the
NET.CFG file for configuring the driver at load-time. The
\DOSODI subdirectory provides a sample NET.CFG file to help with
your driver configuration.
a. Enter the following command to copy the sample NET.CFG file
to the same directory as the other driver files:
COPY A:\NOVELL\DOSODI\NET.CFG
b. Edit the NET.CFG file to customize it for your system setup.
Refer to "Novell NetWare ODI Shell for DOS" and Section 3,
SUPPORTED NET.CFG PARAMETERS, for more information on all of
the NET.CFG file parameters.
5. Connect the adapter to the network as described in the
adapter's "User Information" document.
6. To load the Novell NetWare ODI drivers and the adapter ODI
client driver, follow the procedure described in "Novell
NetWare ODI Shell for DOS". The following commands are
examples:
LSL.COM
DEPCA.COM
IPXODI.COM
NETX.EXE
Section 3 SUPPORTED NET.CFG PARAMETERS
---------------------------------------
The following parameters are valid under the LINK DRIVER DEPCA
heading in the NET.CFG file. Precede each parameter with a TAB or
white space. Refer to your Novell documentation for more information
on editing the NET.CFG file.
Parameter: FRAME ETHERNET_802.2
Description: Configures the DOS ODI client driver to use the
ETHERNET_802.2 frame format. If the FRAME keyword is
omitted, this is the default frame type.
Parameter: FRAME ETHERNET_II
Description: Configures the DOS ODI client driver to use the
ETHERNET_II frame format.
Parameter: FRAME ETHERNET_SNAP
Description: Configures the DOS ODI client driver to use the
ETHERNET_SNAP frame format.
Parameter: FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
Description: Configures the DOS ODI client driver to use the
ETHERNET_802.3 frame format.
This parameter is optional and need not be specified
for proper operation of the driver.
Following is an example NET.CFG file for DOS ODI client driver
which configures the driver to use the 1st card and the
ETHERNET_802.2 frame type.

INSTALLING THE ODI DRIVER WITH WINDOWS FOR WORKGROUPS 3.11
----------------------------------------------------------
1. Install Windows for Workgroups v3.11 on your system if it is not
already installed. For more information about setting up and
installing Windows for Workgroups 3.11, see your Windows
documentation. Choose "No Network" during this installation.
2. WFW assumes that you will have an ODI client running before you
initiate Windows. Set up an ODI subdirectory with your client
software, your client driver, and a net.cfg file, as you would
for any ordinary odi client installation.
3. Edit autoexec.bat to add the following lines at the top of the
file. If these files are located in a subdirectory, specify
their path in the autoexec.bat as well.
lsl.com
depca.com
ipxodi.com
netx.exe ( or vlm.exe )
4. Restart your system (to start the Novell client software), and
enter Windows. Install Novell NetWare support on your WFW system
by clicking on the NETWORK icon in the Program Manager window.
Next, click on NETWORK SETUP, and then the NETWORKS... button.
5. Depending on the variety of network protocols you may want to
run, you may choose:
Microsoft Network AND Additional Network: other
OR
Install Windows support for the following network only
Then, choose Novell NetWare Workstation Shell. If you are using
VLM to connect to the NetWare Server, you should choose Novell
NetWare Workstation Shell 4.0 and above. If you are using NETX,
you may choose either the 3.x or the 4.0 and above versions of
NetWare. Click on OK and then click on OK again (to choose
IPXODI.COM and LSL.COM). At this point, the system may prompt
you for Novell files from WINUP9.EXE. This file can be obtained
from Novell's CompuServe forum. You may also be prompted for
files from the WfW 3.11 installation kit. You will be told that
various initialization files are being updated.
NOTE: Some earlier manufactured versions of the WFW V3.11
install diskettes may not contain all the Novell files
asked for when inserting disks 7 and/or 8. In these cases
you may need a more recently produced version of the WFW
V3.11 kit. Alternatively, the files can be obtained on
Novell's CompuServe Forum.
6. Re-boot the system. The ODI client driver should load and you
should login to the network drives on your server. At this
point, it is best to log on to your NetWare Server before
starting Windows. This will allow all NetWare mapped drives to
automatically appear in your WfW File Manager.
7. Start WfW and open the File Manager. You should see your NetWare
drive(s).
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.
