Server Driver for NetWare 4.X Introduction: ------------- This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v4.X server driver for ISA Plug&Play ethernet adapter. Location of Driver: \NETWARE\SERVER\4X\PNPNWSRV.LAN Installaton Procedure : --------------------- Before you start with the installation process, make sure that the Novell NetWare v4.X server is properly installed. Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your server. 1. Insert the ethernet Driver Diskette into drive A and check the contents of subdirectory \NETWARE\SERVER\4X, It should contain the following file : ETHERTSM.NLM MSM.NLM PNPNWSRV.LANÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V4.X Server Driver PNPNWSRV.LDIÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V4.X Server Driver Installation Information File 2. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name), run the INSTALL.NLM program by typing: server name: LOAD INSTALL 3. Select "Driver Options" and press . 4. Select "Configure network drivers" and press . 5. Select "Select a driver" option in the menu of "Additional Driver Actions" and press . 6. Press the key to specify other drivers to install. 7. Insert the driver diskette in floppy drive A. 8. Press and specify the driver path (A:\NETWARE\4.X) and press . 9. The PNPNWSRV.LAN driver should appear in your choice list for the 'Select a LAN Driver' field. Choose this driver to start the driver loading and binding procedure. This will allow you to load and bind all 4 frame types supported by NetWare. 10. In the field of "Method to load the driver" press to select the option of "Search for the device automatically". 11. Select "Save parameters and load driver" and press 12. Add the LOAD and BIND statements you require to the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the LAN driver will load automatically each time the server starts up. Installation Notes: ------------------- 1. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters: The keyword "EtherID" is the ethernet ID of a adapter. This keyword is provided for multiple LAN adapters in a single server by the driver PNPNWSRV.LAN. So, add EtherID in LOAD commands. For example: LOAD PNPNWSRV EtherID=0000B4123456 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LANA BIND IPX TO LANA NET=11 LOAD PNPNWSRV EtherID=0000B4123456 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LANB BIND IPX TO LANB NET=22 2. The default frame type for the NetWare v4.X binding is Ethernet_802.2 and not Ethernet_802.3. This is the difference between V3.11 and V4.X of NetWare operating system. 3. Edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF if you want to change some parameters. For example, if you're using a NetWare 3.11 workstation and wants to log into a NetWare v4.X server. The default frame type of NetWare 3.11 is Ethernet 802.3, while that of NetWare v4.X is Ethernet 802.2. Before you can log into the NetWare v4.X, make sure there is a protocol binding for Ethernet 802.3 in the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
