TITLE: 901012 PS/2 LAN WORKSTATION NOVELL TIPS W/ ETHERNET
TEXT:
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS PROVIDED AS AN AID FOR DIAGNOSING
TYPICAL PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED IN THE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
OF PS/2 MODEL 55LS (8555 LT0 & LE0) USING AN ETHERNET ADAPTER/A
AND NOVELL OPERATING SYSTEM.
================================================================
INSTALLING NETWARE 286 DEVICE DRIVERS
-------------------------------------
THE ETHERNET ADAPTER/A OPTION DISKETTE CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING
DEVICE DRIVERS THAT ARE NEEDED WHEN USING NOVELL NETWARE 286,
VERSION 2.15 (REVISION C):
- IBMETH.LAN
- IBMETHSH.LAN
- IBMETHAD.LAN
- IBMETHBD.LAN
- IBMETHCD.LAN
- IBMETHDD.LAN
- IBMETHSH.LAN
- ETHER.RPL
AFTER INSTALLING THE DEVICE DRIVERS, THE LAN DRIVER LIST MUST
BE UPDATED TO INCLUDE THE ETHERNET ADAPTER/A DEVICE DRIVERS.
A SHELL MAY THEN BE GENERATED FOR THE WORKSTATION.
TO UPDATE THE LAN DRIVER LIST:
1. START THE SHGEN UTILITY PROGRAM. (INSTRUCTIONS ARE PROVIDED IN
THE NETWARE MANUAL)
2. WHEN THE LAN DRIVER OPTIONS SCREEN APPEARS, SELECT "CUSTOM
CONFIGURATION."
3. FROM THE TEXT MENU, SELECT "LOAD INTO LIST FROM
LAN_DRV???DISK."
4. WHEN ASKED FOR A LAN_DRV??? DISKETTE, INSERT THE ETHERNET
ADAPTER/A OPTION DISKETTE IN TO THE DISKETTE DRIVE.
5. WHEN THE MESSAGE APPEARS STATING THAT THE IBM DRIVERS HAVE
BEEN LOADED, SELECT THE "SELECT LAN DRIVER FROM LIST" OPTION.
6. WHEN THE UPDATED LIST APPEARS, SELECT THE "IBM PS/2 ETHERNET
ADAPTER."
7. SAVE THE SELECTION.
INSTALLING A VALUE ADDED PROCESS
--------------------------------
NETWARE 286 ALSO REQUIRES A VALUE-ADDED PROCESS (VAP) FILE,
RPL.VPO. THIS FILE PROVIDES ETHERNET PROTOCOL SUPPORT FOR
THE REMOTE WORKSTATION. THE RPL.VPO FILE CAN BE OBTAINED FROM
THE "NETWIRE" BULLETIN BOARD.
TO INSTALL THE RPL.VPO FILE:
- COPY THE RPL.VP0 TO THE SYS:LOGIN DIRECTORY AND REBOOT.
- ANSWER "YES" WHEN ASKED IF YOU WANT TO INSTALL A VAP.
- FOLLOW ANY ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS THAT APPEAR ON THE SCREEN.
INSTALLING NETWARE 386 DEVICE DRIVERS
-------------------------------------
THE ETHERNET ADAPTER/A OPTION DISKETTE CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING
DEVICE DRIVERS THAT ARE NEEDED WHEN USING NOVELL NETWARE 386,
VERSION 3.1:
- IBMETHSH.OBJ
- IBMETHR.LAN (THIS IS THE BASE DRIVER FOR ETHERNET)
- ETHERRPL.NLM (THIS IS THE NETWORK LOADABLE MODULE WHICH
PROVIDES RPL SERVICE TO WORKSTATIONS)
AFTER INSTALLING THE DEVICE DRIVERS, THE LAN DRIVER LIST MUST
BE UPDATED TO INCLUDE THE ETHERNET ADAPTER/A DEVICE DRIVERS.
A SHELL MAY THEN BE GENERATED FOR THE WORKSTATION.
TO UPDATE THE LAN DRIVER LIST:
1. START THE SHGEN UTILITY PROGRAM. (INSTRUCTIONS ARE PROVIDED IN
THE NETWARE MANUAL)
2. WHEN THE LAN DRIVER OPTIONS SCREEN APPEARS, SELECT "LOAD INTO
LIST FROM LAN_DRV???DISK."
3. WHEN ASKED FOR A LAN_DRV??? DISKETTE, INSERT THE ETHERNET
ADAPTER/A OPTION DISKETTE IN TO THE DISKETTE DRIVE.
4. WHEN THE MESSAGE APPEARS STATING THAT THE IBM DRIVERS HAVE
BEEN LOADED, SELECT THE "SELECT LAN DRIVER FROM LIST" OPTION.
5. WHEN THE UPDATED LIST APPEARS, SELECT THE "IBM PS/2 ETHERNET
ADAPTER."
6. SAVE THE SELECTION.
AUTOEXEC.NCF FOR NOVELL 386
----------------------------
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE AUTOEXEC.NCF FILE CONTAIN THE
FOLLOWING:
LOAD IBMETHR FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 SLOT=<SLOT>
LOAD IBMETHR FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 SLOT=<SLOT>
LOAD ETHERRPL
BIND ETHRPL TO IBMETHR .FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2.
BIND IPX TO IBMETHR .FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3. NET=<NETWORK>
NOTE:
<SLOT> IS THE SLOT NUMBER OF THE ETHERNET CARD.
<NETWORK> IS THE NETWORK NUMBER FOR THE ADAPTER.
EXTERNAL BRIDGES
----------------
- THE BRIDGE DISKETTE SHOULD CONTAIN BRIDGE.EXE AND
RPL.VP0
- THE FILE ETH.RPL SHOULD BE PRESENT IN THE SYS:LOGIN
DIRECTORY ON THE WORKSTATION.
