Personal NetWare* Installation Notes for Intel's EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10
ISA LAN Adapter
========================================================================
Location of Driver: \DOS\EPROODI.COM
General Installation
--------------------
The installation procedure will transfer files to a specific directory on
the workstation and create or modify existing configuration files to fit
your specific needs. The installation utility INSTALL.EXE is located on
Personal NetWare's Installation + Utilities 1 disk.
Installation Procedure
----------------------
1 Run INSTALL.EXE from the Installation + Utilities 1 Disk.
2 The Personal NetWare Install program screen will appear. You must
complete each of the questions. These options are specific to your
needs.
a Step #1 asks for your name, company name, and serial number of your
copy of Personal NetWare.
b Step #2 gives you the option to load support files for MS Windows*
and tells you the disk space requirements. You will also have an
option to change the directory where the Personal NetWare files
will be copied. The default directory is C:\NWCLIENT. You can
specify another directory if you desire.
c Step #3 asks you to select a Primary Network Interface Card. From
the list of drivers select "OEM Supplied Driver".
NOTE: Do not select Intel EtherExpress(TM) ISA family. This
driver is for the EtherExpress 16 adapter, not for the
EtherExpress PRO/10 ISA adapter.
d Step #4 will ask you to insert the diskette containing the driver
files. Insert the EtherExpress PRO/10 ISA adapter diskette into
drive A: and specify the source path for driver files as A:\DOS.
e Step #5 will let you specify if you want to Share This Computer's
Resources.
f Step #6 will let you specify a User Name for this computer.
g Step #7 will let you specify which Novell NetWare Servers are
available on your network.
h Step #8 will allow you to configure Optimization / Network
Management. Refer to your Personal NetWare Manual to decide which
options you need.
i Step #9 is Configure Primary Interface Card. Specify the PORT
address that was configured in SoftSet2 for the EtherExpress PRO/10
ISA adapter. The default port address is 300. Select the Ethernet
frame type you want to use. The default frame is Ethernet_802.2.
j Step #10 is to accept all the configuration parameters. If
everything is configured correctly, accept the configuration and
start the installation. The Personal NetWare installation will now
prompt you for the installation diskettes as needed.
k Step #11 is the final step. You will be prompted to insert the
driver diskette for the third party software driver. Insert the
EtherExpress PRO/10 ISA adapter diskette into drive A: and specify
the path to copy the files from as A:\DOS.
Hints and Tips
--------------
1 NET.CFG Options:
PORT - This is the base I/O address of the adapter. Verify setting in
SoftSet2.
INT - (optional)The system IRQ for the adapter to use. This option is
only used as a reminder for which IRQ the board is set for. It does
not cause the driver to override the EEPROM contents.
NODE ADDRESS - This parameter allows the driver to override the
Ethernet address in the EEPROM. This is Novell's node address override
feature. To comply with Novell's multicast specification, the second
digit of the overriding address should be a 2, 6, A or E.
Syntax:
NODE ADDRESS 00A0C9123456
2 Be sure to add LASTDRIVE=Z to your CONFIG.SYS file for the network
mappings to work properly.
