EtherExpress™ 32N Adapter
(#1088) EtherExpress™ 32N Adapter: Driver Installation on NetWare* 3.1x Server

REQUIRED NLMS FOR NETWARE* 3.1X

For 3.12 Servers

This version of NE3200.LAN auto-loads two Novell NetWare NLMs (ETHERTSM and MSM31X) when you load the NE3200.LAN driver. You may need to update the versions of these two NLMS currently installed on your NetWare 3.12 file server to version 2.50 or later:

MSM31X.NLM (11-23-94 v2.50)
ETHERTSM.NLM (11-29-94 v2.50)

Make sure you use these (or later) versions. Earlier versions may not work properly or might generate this error message:

"Loader cannot find public symbol: <symbol name>"

These updated NLMs are located on the EtherExpress 32 adapter driver disk in the directory \NWSERVER\NW312.

If you can log in to the server, copy these updated NLMs into the SYSTEM subdirectory. If you do this, you won't need to specify a path on the load line. If you copy it to another directory, make sure the LOAD statement includes the correct path.

For 3.11 Servers

This version of NE3200.LAN auto-loads four Novell NLMs (ETHERTSM, MSM31X, LSLENH and PATCHMAN) when you load the NE3200.LAN driver. You may need to update the versions of these four NLMS currently installed on your

NetWare 3.11 file server to these versions:

PATCHMAN.NLM (03-24-94 v2.30)
LSLENH.NLM (10-05-93 v1.01)
MSM31X.NLM (11-23-94 v2.50)
ETHERTSM.NLM (11-29-94 v2.50)
MONITOR.NLM (10-26-92 v1.75)

Make sure you use these (or later) versions. Earlier versions may not work properly or might generate this error message:

"Loader cannot find public symbol: <symbol name>"

These updated NLMs are located on the EtherExpress adapter 32 driver disk in the directory \NWSERVER\NW311.

If you can log in to the server, copy these updated NLMs into the SYSTEM subdirectory. If you do this, you won't need to specify a path on the load line. If you copy it to another directory, make sure the LOAD statement includes the correct path.

NOTE: MONITOR.NLM is not auto-loaded by NE3200.LAN but should be updated to v1.75 version or later.

General Installation
  1. From the DOS prompt on the server, copy the EtherExpress adapter driver (\NWSERVER\NW312\NE3200.LAN) to the Novell directory on the DOS partition of the server's hard drive (drive C:).

  2. From the DOS prompt on the server, copy the updated Novell NetWare NLMs to the Novell directory on the DOS partition of the server's hard drive (drive C:).

  3. Start NetWare by typing SERVER or the name of your startup batch file.

  4. Insert the EtherExpress 32 driver disk into drive A: and load the updated Novell NetWare NLMs.

    For NetWare 3.11, type

    LOAD A:\NWSERVER\NW311\PATCHMAN
    LOAD A:\NWSERVER\NW311\LSLENH
    LOAD A:\NWSERVER\NW311\MSM31X
    LOAD A:\NWSERVER\NW311\ETHERTSM

    For NetWare 3.12, type

    LOAD A:\NWSERVER\NW312\MSM31X
    LOAD A:\NWSERVER\NW312\ETHERTSM
  5. Load the driver. At the server's colon (:) prompt, type
    LOAD A:\NWSERVER\NW312\NE3200 SLOT=x
    WHERE: x is the EISA slot used by the EtherExpress 32 LAN adapter.
    Be sure to include the path to the driver's location.

    Novell provides several other parameters you can include in the LOAD statement, but they are not required. For more information on those parameters and when you should use them, see the NetWare Installation manual.


    Bind the driver. At the server's colon (:) prompt, type
    BIND IPX TO NE3200 NET=xx
    WHERE: xx is the external network number.

    At this point, you should be able to log in to the server from a workstation.

To Make this Permanent

Copy the updated Novell NetWare NLMs and NE3200 driver from the EtherExpress 32 adapter driver disk to the local C: drive on the file server. Using Novell NetWare's INSTALL program, edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file to add the LOAD and BIND statements for the EtherExpress 32 adapter.

NetWare v3.11 EXAMPLE:

LOAD C:\PATCHMAN
LOAD C:\LSLENH
LOAD C:\MSM31X
LOAD C:\ETHERTSM
LOAD C:\NE3200 SLOT=4 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=LANA
BIND IPX TO LANA NET=101

NetWare v3.12 EXAMPLE:

LOAD C:\MSM31X
LOAD C:\ETHERTSM
LOAD C:\NE3200 SLOT=4 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=LANA
BIND IPX TO LANA NET=101

Installing Multiple EtherExpress Adapters

If you have multiple network cards in a single server, each card must have a different network number and different SLOT value. You must name each board using the "NAME=" parameter. For example,

LOAD NE3200 SLOT=3 NAME=LANA
BIND IPX TO LANA NET=10
LOAD NE3200 SLOT=4 NAME=LANB
BIND IPX TO LANB NET=20

Do not confuse the NETwork number with the internal IPX number, they need to be different. See the NetWare Installation manual for more information.

Installing one EtherExpress Adapter with Multiple Frame Types

When binding multiple frame types to one card, enter a LOAD statement for each frame type. Each LOAD statement will use the same SLOT value, but a different network number. You must name each board using the "NAME=" parameter. For example,

LOAD NE3200 SLOT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=LAN8022
BIND IPX TO LAN8022 NET=10
LOAD NE3200 SLOT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=LANII
BIND IPX TO LANII NET=20

Do not confuse the network number with the internal IPX number; they need to be different. See the NetWare Installation manual for more information.

TCP/IP

If you are using NetWare's TCP/IP NLM, you must load an ethernet type II frame and bind the EtherExpress adapter to TCPIP. For example,

LOAD NE3200 SLOT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=LAN_IPX
BIND IPX TO LAN_IPX NET=1
LOAD NE3200 SLOT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=LAN_IP
LOAD TCPIP
BIND IP TO LAN_IP ADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

WHERE: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your internet address.

You may also have MASK and GATE parameters on the BIND IP line. See NetWare's documentation for more information.

ERROR MESSAGE: "Loader cannot find public symbol: <symbol name>" "Load file referenced undefined public variable"

This error message occurs when the server is loading older versions of ETHERTSM.NLM or MSM31x.NLM. Verify that you are loading version 2.50 or later of these NLMs.

If Workstations Cannot Atach to the Fileserver

  • Make sure the volume sys: is mounted.
  • Make sure you BIND IPX to the EtherExpress adapter driver.
  • Make sure the FRAME type is the same on server and workstation. The default frame type is 802.2

If both of these have been checked and workstations still cannot attach to the file server, verify that the EtherExpress adapters in the server and workstation(s) are working and that they are communicating with each other.
