DOS ODI Installation Guide for Packet Driver Environments
----------------------------------------
Most environments which require a Clarkson-type packet
driver can be supported with the DOS ODI driver EMXXX.COM,
used in conjunction with an ODI-Packet Driver shim module
from Novell.
The Novell ODI-Packet Driver shim version 2.0, called
ODIPKT.COM (Copyright Daniel D. Lanciani 1991-1993.
All rights reserved), is freely available on this diskette in
\DOSODI, and from Novell's "Novell User" CompuServe forum
(GO NOVUSER) as ODIPKT.ZIP, and also from Novell's FTP site
(ftp://ftp.novell.com/pub/netwire/novuser/02/dosodi.zip).
The ODIPKT.ZIP archive file contains the file ODIPKT.COM,
the ODI-Packet Driver shim module.
The following instuctions will help you install and use
ODIPKT.COM.
1. Unzip the ODIPKT.ZIP archive:
PKUNZIP ODIPKT
2. Copy ODIPKT.COM to your \NWCLIENT directory (or
the directory that contains LSL.COM and emxsa.COM,
if you are using a different directory name).
Copy ODIPKT.COM C:\NWCLIENT
3. Make sure your \NWCLIENT\NET.CFG file contains the
following lines (indents are important;
capitalization does not matter):
NOTE: This example assumes you are using IPXODI
(the IPX protocol), in addition to ODIPKT.
LINK SUPPORT
Buffers 6 1600 (required for ODIPKT)
LINK DRIVER emxsa
frame ethernet_ii (required for ODIPKT)
frame ethernet_802.2 (required for IPXODI)
Protocol IPX
Bind #2 (binds IPXODI to 2nd frame type listed
in the LINK DRIVER emxsa section)
4. Make sure your AUTOEXEC.BAT contains the following
lines to automatically load ODIPKT.COM at startup.
Or, run these commands from the DOS prompt:
c:\nwclient\lsl.com
c:\nwclient\emxsa.com
c:\nwclient\odipkt.com
c:\nwclient\ipxodi.com (required for IPXODI)
5. Now, you can load your packet driver software
application at the DOS prompt. Example:
c:\samplapp\samplapp.exe

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.
