* NOTE : To Use the A:\DOSODI\ne100tx.COM, the version of LSL.COM file
         must be V2.11 or higher.


Driver Installation From The Command Line Prompt

Follow the steps listed below:

   1    Insert the 10/100 Auto PCI Fast Ethernet Card driver diskette into the
        floppy drive.

   2    Create a subdirectory in your client's main boot drive with the
        following  files:

        LSL.COM       Link Support Layer
        ne100tx.COM   PCI Ethernet Card's NetWare DOS ODI Client driver
        IPXODI.COM    An IPX protocol stack file (e.g., IPXODI.COM)
        NETX.EXE      NetWare Shell (used with conventional memory workstations)
        NET.CFG       The Important file used for configuring the settings.                       Keywords section.

        The (NETX.EXE), (LSL.COM), and (IPXODI.COM) files can be obtained
        from the Workstation Driver Diskette in the Novell Client Software
        Package  or from CompuServe. Copy the MAC-layer driver file ne100tx.COM
        and NET.CFG files from the DOSODI directory of the 10/100 Auto PCI Fast
        Ethernet Card's driver diskette to the appropriate subdirectory. To do
        this, copy the file using the path:

                A:\DOSODI\

   3    To manually load these files from the DOS prompt, type the following
        commands in  the given order to initialize DOS ODI driver support and
        the IPX protocol stack:

                LSL.COM                 Followed by <Enter>
                ne100tx.COM             Followed by <Enter>
                IPXODI.COM              Followed by <Enter>
                NETX.EXE                Followed by <Enter>

        Note:
        -----

        NETX.EXE is compatible with DOS versions 3.x, 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x.
        If you are use DOS 6.2 or higher,please install Netware DOS
        requester (VLM).

   4    To automatically load these files, use a DOS text editor to create
        and/or modify an (AUTOEXEC.BAT) file. Load the files in the following
        order:

        1) link support layer, 2) LAN driver, 3) protocol stacks, and 4) the
        shell. Your (AUTOEXEC.BAT) file should look similar to the following:

                \<sub-directory>\LSL
                \<sub-directory>\ne100tx
                \<sub-directory>\IPXODI
                \<sub-directory>\NETX

   5    If the commands have been added to the autoexec.bat file, reboot the
        workstation. After the commands execute, and if a server is present,
        the  workstation will attach to the server and display the server's
        name. Login to the network.

        The installation of the NetWare DOS ODI client driver is now complete.
