General Installation of Client 32 with Windows 95
-------------------------------------------------
Prerequisite:
1 Microsoft's Windows 95 operating system installed.
2 NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95 archive file and patch have been
extracted onto the computer's hard drive.
3 Access to the Windows 95 CD or CAB files, since the Client 32
installation will ask for it.
Procedure:
1 These instructions assume that Plug and Play has been disabled on the
adapter. Disabling this setting on the adapter makes the installation
easier. To change this default, boot to Command line mode or MS-DOS
and run SoftSet2.
2 Open the Network configuration screen (My Computer/Control
Panel/Network/Configuration). Look for any reference to the Intel
EtherExpress PRO/10 ISA adapter. Highlight each one with the mouse and
click on "remove". When all instances of the adapter are gone, click
on OK and allow the machine to restart.
3 As Windows 95 is restarting, if it displays the message "Windows has
found new hardware and is installing software for it", then Plug and
Play is still enabled on the adapter. Go back to step #1.
4 Run the SETUP.EXE program for Client 32. It is located in the
\ENGLISH subdirectory of the Client 32 software.
5 On the NetWare Client 32 Installation screen, do not check the option
to upgrade NDIS drivers to ODI automatically. Select start.
6 Select the "have disk" option (or choose the PRO/10 ISA driver that is
in the package if you have received recent updates on Client 32 from
Novell) on the Select Device screen. Enter A:\NWSERVER for the drive
and directory whee the driver is located.
7 Highlight the non Plug and Play driver.
8 On the PRO/10+ Properties screen, set the I/O address to what it was
set in SoftSet2.
9 On the Recommended NetWare Client 32 properties screen, set the
appropriate settings for the version of NetWare you are using.
10 The Client 32 installation program will copy files. It may ask for the
source of the Windows 95 installation files. Click OK and then enter
the correct path to the files.
11 The Client 32 installation will finish, and you must restart in order
for the changes to become effective.
Hints and Tips for Client 32 Windows 95 installation
----------------------------------------------------
1 If you receive the message, "EPRO.LAN did not remain resident" when
starting Windows 95, verify that Plug and Play is turned off on the
adapter and that you have installed the non-Plug and Play version of
the driver.
General Installation of Client 32 with DOS/Windows 3.1x
-------------------------------------------------------
1 From the Novell NetWare Client 32 software, run INSTALL.EXE.
2 Select the NetWare Client 32 products you want to install from the on
your workstation from the list:
[X] NetWare Client 32 for DOS
[X] NetWare Client 32 for Windows
[ ] NetWare TCP/IP protocol stack

Note:"NetWare Client 32 for DOS" and "NetWare Client 32 for
Windows" are usually selected by default.
3 From the Customize Support for Windows menu, specify if you want to
use multiple country codes or if you want to set the shared Windows
path. The default for both of these is NO.
4 From the Select LAN Driver Type menu, select "32-bit LAN drivers".
5 From the 32-Bit Network Board Drivers menu, select "USER SPECIFIED 32
BIT DRIVER" (or choose the PRO/10 ISA driver that is in the package if
you have received recent updates on Client 32 from Novell).
6 From the Insert the Driver Disk menu, insert the PRO/10 ISA driver
disk and specify A:\NWSERVER for the path to those drivers.
7 From the 32-Bit Network Board Drivers menu, select the "Intel
EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10+ LAN Adapter". DO NOT use the option
specifying "Plug and Play enabled".
8 Specify the following settings for the Intel EtherExpress LAN adapter,
making sure the Base I/O Port matches the setting in SoftSet2:
Parameter Default
------------- -------
Base I/O Port PORT 300
Frame Type Ethernet_802.2
Ethernet_802.3
Note: The default settings will work for most installations. If
you use multiple frame types, please see Hints and Tips
section below.
9 From the Installation Configuration Summary, verify the default
settings for Client 32 are correct, or modify as necessary.
Modify AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS [YES]
Client Directory: C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32
Windows Directory: C:\WINDOWS
LAN driver type: 32-bit LAN drivers
LAN driver: Intel EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 LAN Adapter
10 Novell NetWare will now copy the files to your workstations and modify
the configuration files to match your selected configuration.
Hints and Tips for Client 32 DOS installation
---------------------------------------------
1 Check for a LASTDRIVE statement in the CONFIG.SYS file. You must have
LASTDRIVE=Z in CONFIG.SYS when using Client 32.
2 Verify that you have FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F in the NET.CFG file under
the NetWare DOS Requester section.
Note: NET.CFG is position sensitive, so be careful to indent lines
with one space or one tab as shown above in the example.
3 Verify that the EtherExpress adapter passes the diagnostics test by
running SOFTSET2.EXE on the PRO/10 ISA driver disk. If the adapter
fails diagnostics, it will not function correctly running Client 32.
4 If you get the message listed below when the driver is loading, you
have Plug and Play enabled on the adapter and/or are using the Plug
and Play option. Disable Plug and Play on the adapter and reinstall
Client 32 using the non - Plug and Play driver.
"Plug and Play is activated on this adapter. You must use the slot
parameter to specify a Plug and Play adapter when used in a NetWare
Server."
