   Workstation for DOS ODI Client

   Introduction:
   -------------
   This document describes the procedure to setup the NetWare v3.X , v4.X
   v5.x workstation driver for REALTEK RTL8139 PCI ethernet adapter.

   Location of Driver:     \NWCLIENT\DOS\RTSODI.COM

   Sample Configuration Files:
   ---------------------------
     STARTNET.BAT:
         LSL
         RTSODI
         IPXODI
         NETX or VLM (VLM's for NetWare 4.x )

     NET.CFG:
         LINK DRIVER RTSODI
           Medium 100  --Specify adapter's speed.

           BUSNO NN   --where NN is the PCI bus identifier of the PCI bus
                        which connectsto the adapter.
           DEVICENO NN --where NN is the specific PCI BIOS device
                         identification number of the specified PCI adapter.
          [ or you can use "EtherID" to select a specific RTL8139 adapter:
           Node Address NNNNNNNNNNNN --Where NNNNNNNNNNNN specify a RTL8139
                                       adapter's node address.This is only
                                       required when more than one RTL8139
                                       adapters exist on one system.

           FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F
           NETWARE PROTOCOL = NDS BIND
           PREFERRED SERVER = NW411


   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  RTSODI.COM from the Realtek Driver Diskette subdirectory
         A:\NWCLIENT 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 Realtek drivers disk when prompted for
         the driver disk and specify the driver path A:\NWCLIENT\DOS

      5. Press <Enter> to install


   NOTE:
   -----
      1. Be sure to add LASTDRIVE=Z to your CONFIG.SYS file for the
         network mappings to work properly.

      2. When you have multiple RTL8139 Adapters on your system:
         Use "BUSNO" and "DEVICENO" KEYWORD in NET.CFG to select which
         adapter to use with your netware client.(or you can use "EtherID")
