Server Driver for NetWare 4.11
v3.04
NetWare* 4.11 Server Driver Installation Notes for Intel's
EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 ISA LAN Adapter
==========================================================
Location of Driver: \NWSERVER\EPRO.LAN
IMPORTANT: NetWare servers using the 3.30 specification NLMs require a
Plug and Play configuration manager to be loaded in order to configure
Plug and Play enabled ISA adapters. If you don't use a configuration
manager, you MUST DISABLE PLUG AND PLAY on the PRO/10 ISA adapter. Use
SoftSet2 to disable Plug and Play on the adapter. From the main menu of
SoftSet2, choose Change Adapter Configuration, Advanced Option Menu, and
set Plug and Play to Disabled. Also, note the I/O Address of the adapter.
This information will be needed later.
Sample Load Commands
--------------------
If a Configuration Manager is loaded and Plug and Play is enabled on
adapter:
LOAD <path> EPRO SLOT=xxx FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
BIND IPX TO EPRO NET=xxxxxxxx
Without a Configuration Manager and with Plug and Play disabled on
adapter:
LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=xxx FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
BIND IPX TO EPRO NET=xxxxxxxx
General Installation
--------------------
1 If you are performing a new installation of NetWare 4.11, configure
the LAN adapter(s) using SoftSet2 and make note of the I/O address.
During the installation of 4.11, you will be prompted for the LAN
driver. At that time insert the LAN adapter driver disk and complete
the information NetWare 4.11 requires. The NetWare 4.11 installation
program will automatically add these statements to your AUTOEXEC.NCF
file.
Note: NetWare 4.11 also ships with a driver for the PRO/10 ISA
adapter which you may select instead of using the driver
disk.
2 We recommend you get the most recent updates of the NLMs listed below.
Earlier versions may not work properly. These files can be obtained
from Novell's on-line services. See the Hints and Tips section for
notes on contacting Novell.
MSM.NLM
ETHERTSM.NLM
3 If you already have NetWare 4.11 installed, copy the PRO/10 ISA server
driver, and any updated NLMs, to the NetWare server's hard drive.
If you can't log in to the server, then before starting the server,
copy the EPRO.LAN driver from the \NWSERVER directory on the Intel
Configuration and Drivers disk to the server's hard drive. Also, copy
any updated NLMs to the same directory.
If you can log into the server, copy the driver and any updated NLMs
to the SYSTEM subdirectory. If you do this, you won't need to specify
a path on the server's load line. If you copy it to another directory,
make sure the LOAD statement includes the correct path.
4 Bring up the server. At the server console issue the load and bind
statement(s) as required. ETHERTSM and MSM will be autoloaded with the
EPRO.LAN driver. See the example above and substitute "xxx" with valid
parameters for that adapter.
PORT=x specifies the I/O address. Substitute x with the valid value
for the adapter. You will be prompted with a valid port number if you
don't specify a number.
SLOT=x specifies the Plug and Play slot ID. Substitute x with the
valid value for the adapter. You will be prompted with a valid slot
number if you don't specify a number.
NET=xxxxxxxx is the unique network address for that LAN segment.
The default frame type is 802.2. If your workstation needs to use the
802.3 frame type, see the section later in this document about using
multiple frame types on one adapter.
5 Add the load and bind statements you need to the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF
file so the EtherExpress PRO/10 ISA adapter driver will load
automatically each time the server starts.
Hints and Tips
--------------
1 Installing multiple EtherExpress PRO/10 ISA adapters
If you have multiple LAN adapters in a single server, each adapter
must have a different network number and a different port number. You
may also want to name each adapter for ease of management.
Example:
LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=300 NAME=LAN_A
BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=222
LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=320 NAME=LAN_B
BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=333
2 Installing one EtherExpress PRO/10 ISA adapter with multiple frame
types
When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, enter a load and
bind statement for each frame type. Each load statement will use the
same port number, but a different network number is required on the
bind statement. You need to supply a name on each load line to avoid
being prompted for which board to bind IPX to.
If you do not have the name option in the AUTOEXEC.NCF, it will not
execute completely without user intervention.
Example:
LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=LAN8023
BIND IPX TO LAN8023 NET=77777
LOAD C:\EPRO PORT=300 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=LAN8022
BIND IPX TO LAN8022 NET=88888

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.
