* 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.
