NetWare Server and Workstation Driver Installation ================================================== The drivers NWMLID.COM and NW40X.LAN can be used for the following NE2000 Compatible Ethernet adapters: NetWare DOS ODI Server Driver Installation for Novell 3.1x and Novell 4.0x ========================================================== NOTE: The NW40X.LAN DO support Novell 3.1x and Novell 4.0x. ========================================================== The driver NWMLID.COM is used for the Novell 3.1x and 4.0x network environments. This section describes its installation. Once fully installed a workstation running this driver can log into a server running either NetWare v3.1x or v4.0x. Requirements ------------ Make sure you have the following: 1. Driver Diskette 2. Novell DOS ODI Workstation Services Diskette Make a backup copy of your Driver Diskette and use the backup as your working diskette. Installation Procedure ---------------------- 1. Make sure that your network adapter is proper installed and the adapter proper configured to the appropriate hardware settings. 2. Run the following commands in the order given below, indicating the directory location or path for each command. Then press after each line to continue. lsl nwmlid ipxodi Note ---- NWMLID is the adapter's workstation driver for the Novell 3.1x and 4.0x environments. If problems occur during the loading operation error messages will be shown onscreen to indicate unsuccessful loading of the driver. Installation Notes ------------------ 1. The NET.CFG file is automatically read when driver installation is successful. It contains the adapter's hardware and software configuration. 2. This file is especially needed when there are more than one network adapters installed inside the host PC. In this situation, make sure that each adapter's NET.CFG file has an MLID section. 3. The ODI driver parses the NET.CFG file first and recognizes the parameter settings in this file as the adapter's default, even though it conflicts with the setting stored in the EEPROM. In this situation, the adapter will fail to initialize. Sample NET.CFG File ------------------- LINK DRIVER NWMLID INT 5 PORT 320 . . . See your NetWare 386 Installation Manual for more information about the NET.CFG file. 4. With the release of NetWare 4.0x, Novell has changed the setting of the default Ethernet frame type to Ethernet 802.2. This is to allow better protocol support. In addition, additional features were added, including IPX with checksum, security enhancement and protocol independence. When using NetWare 4.0x, make sure that the frame type is bound before logging into the server. List of Error Messages ---------------------- This section lists error messages detected when the driver installation fails. Error Message: "The board cannot be found." Possible Cause: The adapter does not exist, or driver does not recognize the adapter. Solution: Make sure that the adapter is properly plugged onto the host PC's slot. Error Message: "Board RAM failed the memory test." Possible Cause: Adapter's RAM buffer failure. Solution: Replace your network adapter. Call your dealer for assistance. Reinstall the adapter, including the driver. Error Message: "The board did not respond to the initialization command." Possible Cause: The driver recognizes the adapter, but the adapter fails to respond. Solution: Replace your network adapter. Call your dealer for assistance. Reinstall the adapter, including the driver. Error Message: "Adapter current mode is not supported or card not found." Possible Cause: The current adapter mode is to NE1000. Solution: Run the SETUP program and set adapter mode to NE2000. Error Message: "There is no cable connecting to adapter." Possible Cause: There is no cable connected to the adapter; or adapter's on-board transceiver failure. Solution: Check cable connections and run the driver again. Novell NetWare V3.1x Server Driver Installation =============================================== 1. Things You Need 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Before you start with the installation process make sure you have the following : a) Hardware Driver Disk b) Novell NetWare Version 3.11 System Diskette 2. How To Install O.S. Driver 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 a) Insert the Acc-10 Hardware Driver Disk into drive A and check the contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\3.1x It should contain the following file : NW40X.LAN 컴� Novell NetWare V3.11 Server Driver b) Copy the contents of the Novell NetWare 386 Version 3.11 System Diskette into your NetWare 386 server station hard disk. Please refer to your Novell NetWare 386 Installation Manual for details. c) Copy the NW40X.LAN file from the Hardware Driver Disk into the NetWare server station hard disk. d) Run SERVER.EXE on the server station. Several NetWare messages will be shown on-screen. e) At the NetWare prompt (indicated by a colon), run the driver program, type : : LOAD [d:]NW40X (Command Syntax : LOAD [d:]) Follow the instructions to select the appropriate adapter configuration, i.e. io_port, memory address, memory length, interrupt. Allowable values for these parameters will also be shown on-screen. When you load the driver program, your screen will display the following messages : Loading module NW40X.LAN Supported I/O port values are : 300, 320, 340, 360, 200, 220, 240, 260 I/O port : 300_ (Enter appropriate I/O port and press ) f) Bind IPX with LAN driver, at the Netware server prompt, type : :BIND IPX NW40X After pressing the computer prompts you for the Network Number. For details on how to assign this number, please consult your NetWare 386 Installation Manual. If problems occur during the binding process, your screen will prompt you with error messages. Please refer to your NetWare 386 manual for details on these messages. The LAN driver installation is completed when you see the following message on-screen : IPX LAN Protocol bound to NE Mode vx.xxRxx (yymmdd). Novell NetWare V4.0x Server Driver Installation =============================================== Requirements ------------ Make sure you have the following: 1. Driver Diskette 2. Novell DOS ODI Workstation Services Diskette Installation Procedure ---------------------- 1. Insert the Driver Diskette that comes with the package into drive A: and check the contents of the subdirectory \NETWARE\4.0X. It should have the following files: NW40X.LAN ----> your Novell NetWare v4.0x Server Driver NW40X.LDI ----> your Novell NetWare v4.0x Server Driver configuration file 2. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name), run the INSTALL.NLM program by typing: server name: LOAD INSTALL 3. Follow screen instruction to complete the process. Respond to prompts displayed on the screen. Select the following items in the order given below. Press to confirm each choice: Maintenance/Selective Install LAN Driver Options (Configure/Load/...) 4. Press the key to insert other drivers you wish to install. 5. Press to display the driver loading path as follows: A:\NETWARE\4.0X 6. The NW40X.LAN will appear as an item under the "Select a LAN Driver" menu. Select it to load the driver and start the binding process. This will allow you to load and bind all 4 frame types supported by NetWare. 7. Next time you reboot your NetWare 4.0x server, do so by following steps 2 to 4 above. Notes about the Novell v4.0x and the v3.1x drivers -------------------------------------------------- 1. The NetWare v4.0x and v3.11 drivers have different architectures. When using NetWare v4.x, you should load the MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM modules before loading server driver NW40X.LAN. 2. NW40X.LAN is your server driver for NetWare v4.0x. When loading NW40X.LAN, it will check whether or not these two modules (MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM) have been loaded. If not, it will load them automatically. 3. After the NW40X.LAN is loaded, type the "MODULES" command to view and confirm that the additional modules, MSM.NLM and ETHERTSM.NLM loaded. 4. The default frame type NW40X.LAN binding for NetWare v4.0x is Ethernet_802.2 and not Ethernet_802.3.
