Setup Procedures for NetWare 3.11/3.12 Client :
-----------------------------------------------
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
the adapter is properly installed and configured. Make sure
that your NetWare workstation is properly installed.
1. Copy DP83820.COM from the Driver Diskette subdirectory
A:\NETWARE\DOSODI to your harddisk.
2. Create a batch file, or add to your STARTNET.BAT file the commands
listed above under STARTNET.BAT
3. Edit the NET.CFG file that you copied over. Edit the file per your
requirements (see examples above). If there are two frame types
listed, whichever frame type is listed first, that is the one that
the driver will load. See above for examples. The NET.CFG file
should be in the same directory with the LSL.COM file.
Setup Procedures for NetWare 4.X Client with vlm:
-----------------------------------------------
The installation utility INSTALL.EXE is located on NetWare's
"Workstation for DOS" disk. Run INSTALL.EXE from the Workstation
for DOS Disk.
The NetWare Client Install program screen will appear. You must
complete each of the questions. These options are specific to your
needs.
1. Enter the destination directory for the NetWare Client.
(The default directory is C:\NWCLIENT).
2. Gives you the option to automatically update the CONFIG.SYS
and the AUTOEXEC.BAT files or modify them at a later time
manually.
3. Do you wish to install support for MS Windows ? (Y/N)
(MS Windows Subdirectory: default C:\WINDOWS)
4. Asks you to select a network driver and provide configuration
options. It uses the specifications you select to create the
file NET.CFG. Insert the DP83820 drivers disk when prompted for
the driver disk and specify the driver path A:\NETWARE\DOSODI
5. Press <Enter> to install
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
