- Loading 386 Lan Drivers for NOVELL 386
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- Once the server has been loaded, at the colon prompt, proceed as
- follows:
-
- :LOAD X:Filename.LAN
- (X" being DOS directory which contains the .LAN file,
- "Filename" being the actual name of the .LAN file. Once the server
- is loaded, hard drive can no longer be seen. Therfore, you must load
- from another drive. Once the server is up, and stations are logged
- in. The .LAN file can be added to the SYS:SYSTEM directory, and when
- the server is loaded again, it will find the file automatically.
-
- I/O Port: _____
- Base Memory: _____
- IRQ: ___
-
- (Enter in the values which the interface card is configured for.
- The settings may already be setup within the AUTOEXEC.NCF file **,
- therefore the configuration settings may not appear)
-
- : BIND IPX to Filename.LAN
- ("Filename" being the same file that was loaded above)
-
- Network #: ___
- (The network number must be unique to the cabling system it
- is attached to. If two LAN cards are attached to the same
- cabling system they will have the same Network Number. This
- number must be:
-
- 1. A hexadecimal number from "0" to "F".
- 2. 1 to 8 digits in length.
-
- For further information refer to the NOVELL "386 INSTALLATION
- MANUAL" or "Netware Concepts" manual.)
-
- The Lan Driver is now loaded. If the file server contains more than one
- Lan Card, you must load/bind a driver for each card.
-
- ** The Autoexec.ncf file is a txt file,that Netware will inspect upon
- booting. It contains information on Lan Cards, Disk Drives, server
- configurations. This is similar to an autoexec file, it will
- automatically load the server with the parameters contained within.
-
- E.G.
- File Server name EXAMPLE
- IPX internal net 1991
- Load PDA386OS.LAN Port=2E0 Mem=D0000 Int=2 Frame=802.4
- bind ipx to PDA386OS.LAN Net=12
- mount all
-
-
- If using high performance drivers at the workstations, the following command
- must be added to the startup.ncf file. Also, the workstation packet size
- must never exceed the file server packet size.
-
- SET MAXIMUM PHYSICAL RECEIVE PACKET SIZE = XXXX
-
- XXXX = The driver packet size for the server, which must be one
- of the following choices.
-
- 1) 4202 (4K)
- 2) 2154 (2k)
- 3) 1024 (1k)
- 4) 618 (512b)
