Intel EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 LAN Adapter NetWare DOS ODI client driver: EPROODI.COM Contents of archive: EPROODI.COM 35,879 bytes 08-11-95 v2.52 EPROODI.INS 776 bytes 03-07-95 text file for NetWare 4.x install DRIVERS.DOS 59 bytes 06-27-95 driver name for NetWare 4.x install EPROODI.DSC 32 bytes 08-14-95 FlashWorks description file The 2.52 version of the DOS ODI driver is included on the SW Release #2.5 disk that ships with the PRO/10 ISA adapter. This driver has been updated to NetWare DOS ODI Client spec 4.0 for compliance with NetWare 4.1. Added improved plug and play bios support; fixed frame integrity test that occasionally occurred under extreme stress, and updated copyright information. INSTALLATION INFORMATION: Quick Installation ------------------ Use the Auto Installation option in the SoftSet2 program. For workstations that will use VLMs, see VLM Client section below. Sample Configuration Files -------------------------- AUTOEXEC.BAT: CD\NWCLIENT LSL EPROODI IPXODI NETX or VLM (VLM's for NetWare 4.x or 3.12) NET.CFG (for 802.3 clients-generally NetWare 2.x and 3.11 servers) LINK DRIVER EPROODI PORT 300 FRAME ETHERNET_802.3 NET.CFG (for 802.2 clients - generally NetWare 3.12 and 4.0x servers) LINK DRIVER EPROODI PORT 300 FRAME ETHERNET_802.2 NETWARE DOS REQUESTER FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F General Installation for NetWare 2.2/3.11/3.12 client ----------------------------------------------------- 1 All the files necessary to connect to the NetWare servers, are supplied on Intel's driver disk. Newer versions of the shell files (LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM, NETX.EXE) may be available from Novell on CompuServe in the NetWire forum. To access this forum, type GO NOVFILES and download the files NET33X.EXE and VLMUP2.EXE. From the \NWCLIENT directory on the driver disk, copy LSL.COM, EPROODI.COM, IPXODI.COM, NETX.EXE, NET.CFG. If you are also running Windows* for Workgroups, please see the Hints and Tips section below for other important information. 2 Add the commands to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file as shown above in the Sample Configuration Files section. Make sure you change to the subdirectory where the drivers are loaded before executing the files. In the example above, the drivers are located in the NWCLIENT supdirectory. 3 Edit the NET.CFG file that you copied over. If you do not know which frame type to load, type CONFIG from your file server console to see which frame type your files server is using, and load one of these frame types on the workstation. If you list two ore more frame types in the NET.CFG, the IPX protocol will bind to the first frame type. You may also need to change the port number to the one your card is using. See above for examples. The NET.CFG file must be in the same directory as the EPROODI.COM file. 4 Reboot the computer and the drivers will load and connect you to the network. General Installation for NetWare 4.01/3.12 client with VLMs ----------------------------------------------------------- The installation of the NetWare 4.0 client software is much easier than earlier versions. The installation procedure will transfer files to a specific directory on the workstation and create or modify existing configuration files to fit your specific needs. The installation utility INSTALL.EXE is located on NetWare's "Workstation for DOS" disk. The INSTALL.EXE program is also installed on the 4.x server, so you could run the SoftSet2 quick installation and connect with NETX to run the install. The install program is located in \PUBLIC\CLIENT\DOSWIN directory on the server. NetWare 3.12 does not automatically create this directory on the server during installation. Installation Procedure ---------------------- 1 Run INSTALL.EXE from the Workstation for DOS Disk. 2 The NetWare Client Install program screen will appear. You must complete each of the questions. These options are specific to your needs. a Step #1 specifies the directory on the hard drive that you want to install the client software. The default directory is C:\NWCLIENT. You can specify another directory if you desire. b Step #2 gives you the option to automatically update the CONFIG.SYS and the AUTOEXEC.BAT files or modify them at a later time manually. c Step #3 will install Windows software for your system if your workstation supports Windows, and will ask you to specify the directory which Windows is located. d Step #4 asks you to select a network driver and provide configuration options. It uses the specifications you select to create the file NET.CFG. Insert the EtherExpress PRO/10 disk when prompted for the driver disk. Intel EtherExpress PRO is the name of the driver. Once you have chosen the driver, verify the configuration settings for the board if necessary. e Step #5 is the final step and the install program will copy the appropriate files to your hard drive. 6 Be sure to add LASTDRIVE=Z to your CONFIG.SYS file and FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F in the NET.CFG file under the NetWare DOS Requester section. Hints and Tips -------------- 1 NET.CFG Options: PORT - This is the base I/O address of the adapter. Verify setting in SoftSet2. INT - The system IRQ for the adapter to use. This option is only used as a reminder for which IRQ the board is set for. It does not cause the driver to override the EPROM contents. NODE ADDRESS - This is the ethernet node address for the adapter. Syntax: NODE ADDRESS 00AA00123456 Where: 00AA00123456 is the adapter's ethernet address . This is optional. If it is not present, the driver will use the value in the EEprom on the adapter. If it is present the driver will use this value even if it differs from the EEprom contents. This is Novell's node address override feature. To comply with Novell's multicast specification, the second digit of the overriding address should be a 2, 6, A or E. 2 Windows for Workgroups To install proper driver support for Windows for Workgroups and Novell NetWare on the same workstation, follow these steps: a Set up the workstation with the DOS ODI client driver as shown above. b Load the ODI driver and login to your NetWare server. c Start Windows for Workgroups and set up the driver for the EtherExpress PRO/10 adapter by following the instructions shown in the Windows for Workgroups installation document. When the driver is chosen, Windows for Workgroups will detect the ODI driver is already loaded and automatically install the appropriate support. * Third-party trademarks are the property of their respective owners
