Before Installing the Network Driver

transport used in the Novell Network (typically IPX/SPX)
and have access to the following software components:

- Novell NetWare VLM Client disks for DOS and Windows
- The LAN+Modem card Installation Disk 2.

1. Boot the PC in DOS. If the PC starts up in Windows, exit
   Windows to return to the DOS prompt. 

2. Place the Novell VLM client disk #1 in the floppy drive.
   Type:

   a:\install <Enter>.

   This opens the NetWare client installation screen.

3. Use the down arrow key to move from line to line. Ensure
   that the information is correct. When you are asked to
   select the driver for your network card, press <Enter>
   to see the list of supported adapters. At the bottom of
   the list, find and select Other Drivers.

4. When prompted for a driver disk, put Installation
   Disk 2 in your floppy drive and press <Enter>. The
   LAN+Modem card should appear as the first item on the
   list. Select it and press <Enter>.

   the appropriate type from the list. Press <Enter> to
   select your choice. (You will not need to select an I/O
   Base. Use the default.)

   Position the cursor on line 6 and press <Enter>. The
   installer prompts for several diskettes and notifies you
   when the installation is complete.

   return to DOS.

8. Reboot the PC by hitting <CTRL><ALT><DEL>. When you go
   into Windows You will be able to LOGIN to the Novell
   Servers.

The configuration manager (FMENABLE.EXE) must be added to
the AUTOEXEC.BAT file or CONFIG.SYS file. Add the line:

        FMENABLE

Specify a directory path if required. Typically, the path
name will be C:\MHZ or C:\NWCLIENT.
