Getting Started will describe the installation for Lan Manager.
Requirements
------------
.A PCMCIA compatible Laptop
.A PCMCIA chipset that is PCIC compatible (Intel, Cirrus, Vadem, and
VLSI) or a Card Service has been installed
.SUN PCNFS 5.0 or newer
.A PCMCIA Fast Ethernet Card
.A knowledge of basic DOS commands and editing text files
Minimum Skill Level
-------------------
.A knowledge of basic DOS commands
.A knowledge of editing text files
.A knowledge of DOS basic file structure (CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT)
.A knowledge of the network driver configuration being used
.Please see Support Options if you are not comfortable will this
skill level
Getting Started
---------------
Please read all methods below and choose the one that matches your
configuration.
Method 1 -- NDIS Driver
-----------------------
When using PC-NFS concurrently with LAN Manager, select the "NDIS"
option from the PC-NFS installation screen. This option works with
the NDIS driver included in the provided driver diskette. Copy the
files listed below into the \NFS directory of your hard disk. These
files will be used in the installation.
File Description
------------ ----------------------------------------------
NFS-NDIS.SYS PC-NFS driver program
LANEN.EXE PC card enabler. Copy from A:\ENABLER\LANEN.EXE
LE100.DOS NDIS driver program
PROTMAN.SYS MS PROTOCOL MANAGER
NETBIND.EXE MS LAN MANAGER Netbind
The following lists the contents of the configuration files:
CONFIG.SYS AUTOEXEC.BAT
---------- ------------
SWITCHES=/F SET TZ=EST5EDT
DEVICE=C:\HIMEM.SYS C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE
DEVICE=C:\EMM386.EXE NOEMS RAM @PROMPT $p$g
DOS=HIGH,UMB PATH=C:\NFS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\DOS;
BUFFERS=10,0 C:\LANMAN\NETBIND
FILES=40 SET TEMP=C:\DOS
STACKS=0,0 SET NFSDRIVE=C
LASTDRIVE=G SET NFSPATH=C:\NFS
SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS /P SET TN_DIR=C:\NFS\TELNET
DEVICE=C:\NFS\PCNFS.SYS /l40 C:\NFS\PRT *
DEVICE=C:\NFS\SOCKDRV.SYS C:\NFS\NET INIT
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\PROTMAN.SYS /I:C:\LANMAN
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\NFS-NDIS.SYS
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\LANEN.EXE
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\LE100.DOS
PROTOCOL.INI
------------
[PROTOCOL MANAGER]
DriverName = PROTMAN$
[LE100]
DRIVERNAME = LE100$
[NFS-NDIS]
DriverName = NFSLINK$
Bindings = LE100
To use the NDIS driver, the user needs to obtain a PC-NFS 5.0
QUIKNDIS diskette which will install all but the Fast Ethernet driver.
Method 2 -- ODI Driver
-----------------------
When using PC-NFS concurrently with NetWare 3.1x/4.0, select the
"ODI" option from the PC-NFS installation screen. This option works
with the ODI driver included in the provided driver diskette. Copy
the files listed below into the \NFS directory of your hard disk.
These files will be used in the installation.
File Description
------------ -----------------------------------------
NFSODI.SYS PC-NFS driver program
LE100ODI.COM ODI driver program
LSL.COM NetWare Link Support Layer
IPXODI.COM NetWare IPX/SPX Protocol
NETX.EXE NetWare Workstation Shell
The following lists the contents of the configuration files:
CONFIG.SYS AUTOEXEC.BAT
---------- ------------
SWITCHES=/F SET TZ=EST5EDT
DEVICE=C:\HIMEM.SYS C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE
DEVICE=C:\EMM386.EXE NOEMS RAM @PROMPT $p$g
DOS=HIGH,UMB PATH=C:\NFS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\DOS;
BUFFERS=10,0 SET TEMP=C:\DOS
FILES=40 SET NFSDRIVE=C
STACKS=0,0 SET NFSPATH=C:\NFS
LASTDRIVE=G SET TN_DIR=C:\NFS\TELNET
SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS /P LSL
DEVICE=C:\NFS\PCNFS.SYS /l40 LE100ODI
DEVICE=C:\NFS\SOCKDRV.SYS C:\NFS\PRT *
DEVICE=C:\NFS\NFSODI.SYS /b2 C:\NFS\NET INIT
IPXODI
NETX
NET.CFG
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Link driver LE100ODI
INT 11
PORT 320
Frame Ethernet_802.3
Frame Ethernet_II
Protocol IPX 0 Ethernet_802.3
If your Novell FILE SERVER is configured to use the Ethernet_802.3
frame type, add a /b2 switch to the line DEVICE=C:\NFS\NFSODI.SYS
in your CONFIG.SYS file and add an entry in your NET.CFG file
defining the two frames types.
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.
