3Com (R) Corporation EtherDisk (R) Diskette for the 3C90X Fast EtherLink XL/EtherLink XL Bus Master NIC Family NetWare 4.11 on Windows 95 Client Driver Installation Notes WARNING: The 3Com NIC Diagnostics cannot shutdown the Client32 driver automatically. To run the diagnostic program just open a DOS box and type UNLOAD 3C90X and press enter. You can then run the diagnostic program as usual, but you will need to reboot the computer when you finish. If you have problems with the installation of Client 32 contact your network administrator or Novell. Installing the Updated ODI 32-bit Driver on Windows 95 Clients -------------------------------------------------------------- The 32-bit ODI driver only works in a system with Client 32 installed on it. Installing Client 32 on your system correctly can be very difficult so 3Com has supplied these instructions. The installation procedure is different depending on your system's current networking setup, but most likely your system is in one of 3 different states. I. If you already have Client 32 installed on your system but do not have a 3C90X Fast EtherLink XL/EtherLink XL Bus Master NIC installed, perform steps number 12 thru 15 to disable any other NICs in the system and then proceed to step 20. II. If you have a 3C90X Fast EtherLink XL/EtherLink XL Bus Master NIC and Client 32 on your system and just want to update the driver then remove all references to the NIC as shown in steps 1 thru 16 and then go to step 20. III. If you are installing Client 32 on your system at the same time as the 3C90X Fast EtherLink XL/EtherLink XL Bus Master NIC, start at step 1. 1. Double-click on My computer. 2. Double-click on Control Panel. 3. Double-click on Network. 4. Open the Network control panel on your desktop. 5. Remove any Fast EtherLink XL/EtherLink XL NICs if they appear in the Network control panel. Do this by selecting the name of the NIC and then clicking Remove. 6. When you have removed all of the Fast EtherLink XL/EtherLink XL NICs from the control panel click OK. 7. If the system ask you if you want to reboot the computer click NO. DO NOT REBOOT THE SYSTEM. 8. In the Control Panel Double-click on System. 9. Click on the Device Manager tab. 10. If there is an entry called "Network adapters", double-click on it. If not, go to step 17. 11. This will open a list of the NICs installed in your system. If any Fast EtherLink XL/EtherLink XL NICs appear in this list remove them by selecting them and clicking remove. DO NOT REBOOT THE SYSTEM. 12. If, after performing the above steps, NIC(s) are still in your system, you will have to disable them. Follow steps 13 thru 15 for each NIC in the list. 13. Select the desired NIC and click Properties. 14. Find the Current Configuration at the bottom of the General page. It can be found by looking for the line with (Current) in the Device usage box. 15. Disable the NIC by clicking on the small box to remove the check mark, and click OK 16. In the System Properties window click OK. 17. Insert disk 1 of the client 32 installation disks and run SETUP.EXE. 18. Follow Novell's installation instructions. If you are asked to select a device, choose a NIC that you do not own (For example the 3Com EtherLink III Bus-Master PCI Ethernet Adapter) This will save you from reinstalling the Novell disks later. 19. When the installation program is finished you will have a choice of rebooting the system, returning to windows , or customize. Click return to windows. DO NOT REBOOT THE SYSTEM. 20. Right click on the Start button on your taskbar. In the menu that appears click find. 21. Change the "Look in" field from C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu to C:\WINDOWS\INF. NOTE: this assumes you installed Windows 95 in the directory C:\WINDOWS 22. Click on the advanced tab, and in the "Containing text" field type: VEN_10b7&DEV_9050 Then click Find Now. If no files are found, double check that the entered text is correct. 23. Select all of the files you find and remove them to the Recycle Bin. Then empty your Recycle Bin. NOTE: You must do this to guarantee that Windows 95 will load the right files when you reboot the system. 24. Shutdown your system, and add any NICs that you want to add while the system is shut down. 25. Turn your system back on and wait for Windows 95 to detect the 3C90X Fast EtherLink XL/EtherLink XL Bus Master NIC. 26. Select driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer, and click OK. 27. Insert the EtherDisk 2 diskette into the A drive and type: A:\client32 28. Click OK. 29. Follow the instructions to insert the correct diskettes, and reboot the system. Note: If you get errors trying to find files make sure the path is set to A:\ whenever you are copying from a disk. 30. When the system reboots you must remove the adapter you don't own that was used as a place holder in step 18. (using the same method in steps 1 thru 7.) 31. You must also turn on any devices you disabled in steps 12 thru 15, by opening the property page and putting the check mark back in the box. 32. Reboot the system and you are finished.
