Novell NetWare DOS ODI Client


Driver Installation From The Command Line Prompt

Follow the steps listed below:

1       Insert the NIC2000 NetWare 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
         PCNTNW.COM    NIC2000 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       Optional (used for configuring options different from
                       the default settings). See Appendix A or Novell NetWare
                       Operating  System 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 NIC2000 client driver file
        NIC2000.COM  from the DOSODI directory of the NIC2000 NetWare 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>
                NIC2000.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.

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:

                \<subdirectory>\LSL
                \<subdirectory>\NIC2000
                \<subdirectory>\IPXODI
                \<subdirectory>\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. Log into the network.

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