Novell Netware installation with NE2000 Compatible driver
---------------------------------------------------------
for
NIC-2002/UK series LAN Adapter
1. Installation for Netware Versions Below 3.11 using IPX
---------------------------------------------------------
a. Using the correct shell Generation program (shgen, wsgen)
Select the NE2000 option
2. Installation for All Netware Versions supporting ODI
-------------------------------------------------------
1. Things You Need
---------------
Before you start the installation process make
sure you have the following:
a) Hardware Driver Disk
b) Novell DOS ODI WORKSTATION SERVICES diskette.
The following drivers must be loaded in the exact order
LSL - Found on the Novell DOS ODI WORKSTATION SERVICES diskette
NWMLID - Found on the NIC-2002 Driver Disk
IPXODI - Found on the Novell DOS ODI WORKSTATION SERVICES diskette
NETX - Found on the Novell DOS ODI WORKSTATION SERVICES diskette
If the NIC driver, NWMLID executed successfully, it will inform you of
the adapter mode and related configurations. Otherwise you will
see error messages telling you the reason the driver did not load.
Note: The ODI driver will always parse your NET.CFG file first. If the
related adapter's configuration parameters are found, they
will be defaulted to IRQ 3 BASE 300 even though they
conflict with parameters stored in the EEPROM of adapter, thus
it will fail to initialize the adapter.
Below is a sample NET.CFG file:
LINK DRIVER NWMLID
INT 5
PORT 320
:
:
You can refer to the Netware Manuals for more information about NET.CFG
Novell has changed the Ethernet default frame type to 802.2
starting with the release of NetWare v4.0. The move has been made to
enable it to better support future protocols and networking features.
Some of these features are: IPX with checksum, security enhancements,
and protocol independence. Following this change, the default frame
type of the DOS ODI driver is Ethernet 802.2 when there is no protocol
binding in NET.CFG file. With this situation, if your server is not
NetWare v4.0, please make sure the Ethernet 802.2 frame type has been
bound before logging in to it.
3. Novell NetWare V4.0x Server Driver Installation
--------------------------------------------------
Things you Need
---------------
Make sure you have the following:
1. Driver Diskette
2. Novell DOS ODI Workstation Services Diskette
Installation Procedure
----------------------
1. Insert the Driver Diskette into drive A: and check the contents of the
subdirectory \NETWARE\ODI\4.00. It should have the following files:
ACC40.LAN ----> your Novell NetWare v4.0 Server Driver
ACC40.LDI ----> your Novell NetWare v4.0 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 <Enter>
3. Follow the instructions on screen to complete the process.
Press <Enter> to confirm each choice:
Maintenance/Selective Install <Enter>
LAN Driver Options (Configure/Load/...) <Enter>
4. Press the <Ins> key to insert other drivers you wish to install.
5. Press <F3> to display the driver loading path as follows:
A:\NETWARE\ODI\4.00 <Enter>
6. The ACC40.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 ACC40.LAN.
2. ACC40.LAN is your server driver for NetWare v4.0. When
loading ACC40.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 ACC40.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 for ACC40.LAN binding in NetWare v4.0x
is Ethernet_802.2 and not Ethernet_802.3.
