Novell NetWare Server Setup

Overview

The EtherFast

®

10/100 LAN Card driver will be automatically installed dur-

ing all of the following NetWare installation procedures. During the setup you
may want to refer to your NetWare Installation Manual for help.

Installing a 3.12 Server

1. Create a directory in the DOS partition of your file server called

LNE100TX.

2. Copy the following files from the EtherFast Card Driver Disk to your file

server's new LNE100TX directory:

a:\netware\server\nw31x\NBI31X.NLM

a:\netware\server\nw31x\MSM31X.NLM

a:\netware\server\nw31x\ETHERTSM.NLM

a:\netware\server\nw31x\LNE100TX.LAN

3. Following the Load LAN Driver Module instructions in your Novell

NetWare 386 v3.12 manual, start NetWare and configure the server (if you
haven’t already).

4. Load the above LAN drivers using the LOAD command.

5. If the LAN driver is not located in the default directory, specify the file's

path on the command line. The LOAD command prompts you for the con-
figuration parameters if they are not supplied on the command line.

e:: If, after any of these installations, the operating system asks you

for a slot number, NetWare needs to know which PCI slot your card has
been installed to. The slot variable can be added to the driver line as
shown in the example below:

load c:\lne100TX\LNE100TX.lan slot = 3

frame = ethernet_802.2 name = nserv

bind ipx to nserv net = 15

In this example, the card is in slot 3, the frame is Ethernet_802.2, the
net value is 15 (arbitrary) and the name is nserv (arbitrary name).

installation files. If it does, direct Windows to the appropriate location,
(e.g.,

D:\win98

if you have the Windows 98 CD-ROM, or

C:\win-

dows\options\cabs

).

13. Once Windows has copied the necessary files, the System Settings

Change window appears. Remove all disks from your PC and click Yes to
restart your PC. If you don't see this window, simply shut down Windows
98 and restart your PC. Remember to remove any installation disks or
CD-ROMs prior to rebooting.

14. A Logon window will appear, requiring you to enter a User name and

Password. Make up a user name and password (if you haven’t already)
and click OK. Do not click the Cancel button or Escape key. Clicking
either of these buttons will prevent you from logging into the network. If
the logon does not appear or if it does not allow you to log on, refer to
the Troubleshooting section.

15. Once you are at the Windows 98 desktop, double-click on the Network

Neighborhood icon. You should see one icon for the entire network and
the names of the other PCs on the network.

If you can see your computer along with all the other computers on

the network in Network Neighborhood, then the Windows 98 net-
work configuration is complete. Return now to the section called
Installing the Workgroup Switch
to complete the installation of your
Network In A Box.

Continue with Sharing Your Files and Printers in the Appendix if

you want your PC’s data or printer to be available to others on the
network.

• If you don't see all the computers in your network (including your own)

in Network Neighborhood, press the F5 key on your keyboard a few
times to refresh the screen. If that doesn’t work, refer to the
Troubleshooting section.
