                         NE34OD.COM Ver 2.30


                               02/14/96


Description:

  1. NE34OD.COM is  a new  ODI workstation driver. It is used for  the DOS
     environment only and therefore defaults to the 802.2 frame type.

  2. If there is only one NE-34 PCI adapter, the driver will automatically
     get IOBASE  and IRQ from PCI Configuration Space.

  3. If there is more than  one NE-34 PCI adapter , user must  indicate  a
     specified IOBASE in NET.CFG file.

  4. If you want to login to Netware server, you need five files:

        LSL.COM
        NE34OD.COM
        IPXODI.COM
        VLM.EXE
        NET.CFG


Installation:

   1. The running sequence is:

                LSL.COM
                NE34OD.COM   --> NE-34 PCI's DOS ODI driver
                IPXODI
                VLM or NETX

   2. Modify the NET.CFG file to set
      (a) 'Ethernet Frame' type if you'd like, the valid  NET.CFG file  is
          below:

                Link driver NE34OD
                    frame ethernet_802.2
                    frame ethernet_802.3
                    frame ethernet_ii
                    frame ethernet_snap

      (b) 'IOBASE' if there are more than one 940 cards, the valid NET.CFG
          is below:

                Link driver NE34OD
                   port d000

       For more information on NET.CFG parameters, see
       "NetWare Workstation for DOS" or
       "ODI for DOS User's Guide".


Use:

  Available command line options:

  NE34OD   -Installs the LAN driver
  NE34OD S -Shows resident LAN drivers in memory
  NE34OD U -Unloads resident LAN driver from memory
  NE34OD E -Enables early interrupt function
  NE34OD ? -Displays this help screen


Trouble Shooting:

   1. Message---> No IO card existed.

      Solution--> Make sure that NE-34 PCI card is plugged into the system.

   2. Message---> There are multiple NE-34 PCI cards.Use NET.CFG to specify
                  I/O port.

      Solution--> Because there is more than one NE-34 card in your system,
                  you must use the I/O port to select a NE-34 card. This is
                  done by adding the following statements to the NET.CFG :

                        Link Driver NE34OD
                            port d000      ---> selected NE-34 PCI card

   3. Message---> A File Server could not be found.

      Solution--> Make sure
                  a. your NE-34 PCI card is connected to the cable,

                  b. the Novell OS is active in this network,

                  c. the frame type between client(your system) and server
                     (Novell OS) is the same.
