============================================================
Before Installing the Client
----------------------------
Before installing the network driver, you should know the following:
- The Frame type used in the network:
- Ethernet_802.2
- Ethernet_802.3
- Ethernet_II
- Ethernet_SNAP
- The name of your Novell file server.
For a successful installation you also need:
- Novell NetWare VLM Client disks for DOS and Windows.
- The LAN+Modem card and Installation Disk 2.
============================================================
Installing the Client
---------------------
NOTE: The following instructions assume that you have not
installed any other network adapter. If you have
already been using a network adapter on your
computer, some of these instructions may not apply or
may produce different results. In this case, please
refer to your System Administrator or MIS department
for assistance.
NOTE: Use the following installation if you are attaching
to a Novell Netware Server only. If you are also
attaching to a Microsoft Windows Network, please
skip to the "Attaching to Novell and Windows
Networks in Windows for Workgroups" section.
1. Boot the system in DOS. If the system starts up in
Windows, close Windows and exit to DOS.
2. Place the Novell VLM client disk #1 in the floppy drive
and type:
a:\install <Enter>
This opens the NetWare Client Installation window. Use
the arrow keys to move between the fields in this
window. Verify that the information on each line is
correct.
3. Press Enter to see a list of support drivers. At the
bottom of the list, select "Other Drivers" and click
"Enter".
4. When prompted for a driver disk, put Installation Disk
2 in your floppy drive, and click "Enter". Select 3Com
Megahertz Lan + Modem PC Card and click "Enter".
5. Select the appropriate frame type from the list, then
click "Enter" to choose it.
6. After your selection is made, click "Enter" again.
You will not need to select an "I/O Base", as the
default is appropriate for our drivers. Press <F10> to
return to the main installation screen.
7. To install the driver, select line 6 from the main
installation screen and click "Enter".
During the installation process, you will be prompted
for specific floppy diskettes. Follow the instructions
on the screen. When the installer finishes, click
"Enter".
8. Edit your c:\AUTOEXEC.BAT file. To the top of the file
add the line:
C:\NWCLIENT\FMENABLE
The first two lines of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file should now
read:
C:\NWCLIENT\FMENABLE
@CALL C:\NWCLIENT\STARTNET
9. Save the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and exit the editor.
10. Reboot the system.
============================================================
Attaching to Novell and Windows Networks
----------------------------------------
After running A:\SETUP.EXE off of Installation Disk 1 and
choosing (ODI or ODINSUP) installation, you should be
directed to this file.
At this point, reboot the machine.
1. Upon rebooting, go to FILE/RUN and type Setup /Z and
click OK. This should bring up the Network Setup
Dialog box.
2. Click on the Network button.
3. Choose "Install Microsoft Windows Network".
4. Choose "Other" on the selection list and move down to
"Novell NetWare (Workstation Shell 4.0 and above)."
5. Click OK.
6. Click "Drivers".
7. Click "Add Adapter".
8. Click "Unlisted" or "Updated Network Adapter".
9. Type in the directory:
C:\MHZ\ODI
NOTE: This will only work if you have run the SETUP.EXE
from Installation Disk 1.
10. Choose the 3Com Megahertz LAN + 56K Modem PC Card.
11. Click "Close" and then OK.
You will be prompted to insert your User Name,
Workgroup and Computer Name. Click OK after you have
inserted this information.
12. Choose "Yes" when asked if you want to replace your
networking files.
13. You may be prompted for several files. These are
located on either the Windows for Workgroups diskettes
(usually disk #7 or disk #8), in a directory \WINDRV,
or on the Novell VLM Client Diskettes. You can try
finding the files by using the SCAN button. If you
cannot find the files, make sure you have all of the
required diskettes for your network client.
14. After the system completes copying the files to your
hard drive, you will be prompted to reboot. Do this at
this time.
15. If upon rebooting, you receive an error "Unable to load
NWGDI.DLL", search your hard drive for this file and
copy it into the C:\Windows\System directory.
