3Com (R) Corporation
EtherDisk (R) Diskette for the
3C90X Fast EtherLink XL/EtherLink XL Bus Master NIC Family
Installing a NIC for NetWare in Windows for Workgroups 3.11
IMPORTANT: You must have either software from Novell or a version of
Windows for Workgroups with NetWare support to install NetWare support
for Windows for Workgroups.
For full NetWare support for Windows for Workgroups, use the NetWare
installation diskettes provided by Novell. The installation program
will prompts you for the necessary files from the 3Com EtherDisk diskette.
The following steps describe how to install your 3Com network NIC in a
NetWare client running Windows for Workgroups 3.11 without the Novell
installation diskettes.
1. Ensure that the NIC has been configured properly in the computer by
reviewing the configuration and diagnostic tests.
2. In Windows for Workgroups, locate the Network section (the Network icon).
Open the Network group and double-click Network Setup.
3. Click Networks... to reach the Network Setup window.
To install the Microsoft Network with NetWare, proceed as follows:
a. Choose Install Microsoft Windows Network.
b. Choose Other:
c. Choose either Novell NetWare[Workstation Shell 3.X] or
Novell NetWare[Workstation Shell 4.0 and above] from the
pull down menu.
d. When you are finished, click OK.
To install Novell NetWare only, proceed as follows:
a. Choose Install Windows Support for the following network only:
b. Choose either Novell NetWare[Workstation Shell 3.X] or
Novell NetWare[Workstation Shell 4.0 and above] from the
pull down menu.
c. When you are finished, click OK.
4. If you are installing Novell NetWare only skip to step 14.
If you are installing both NetWare and the Microsoft Network,
continue with step 5.
5. To install the network NIC, click Drivers...
6. In the Network Drivers window, click Add adapter...
7. From the list of network NICs, select Unlisted or Updated Network
Adapter and then click OK.
8. Network setup now requires the vendor-provided network driver diskette.
Insert the EtherDisk 1 diskette in drive A: and type the following
path for the location of the NDIS driver:
A:\WFW311
Click OK.
9. From the Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter screen, select 3Com
EtherLink XL/Fast EtherLink XL NIC (3C90X) and click OK.
The Network Setup screen now lists the adapter, along with the
default protocol stacks:
3Com EtherLink XL/Fast EtherLink XL NIC (3C90X) (NDIS2/NDIS3)
IPX/SPX Compatible Transport with NetBIOS
Microsoft NetBEUI
10. Click setup in the Network Drivers window.
11. Click the down arrow under Driver Type and select the ODI driver.
Then click OK.
12. Click Close in the Network Drivers window to accept these settings.
13. Click OK in the Network Setup window to start the installation.
14. At this point Windows for Workgroups may give you a chance to supply
or change your user name, workgroup, and computer name. If your network
administrator gives you this information, use the information you were
given. If not, you can create this information yourself. When you
have finished, click OK.
NOTE: It may be necessary to use your Novell or Windows for Workgroups
network support diskettes during the installation. Later versions
of NetWare include a file that Windows for Workgroups will not
copy for you. If you get an error stating that NWGDI.DLL is
missing, you must copy the file manually into the SYSTEM
subdirectory of your WINDOWS directory.
15. The Windows Setup program may ask if you want to replace the Enhanced
Mode Protocol Manager or your Novell NetWare files with the version
you are installing now. Click Yes to All.
16. If the Windows Setup program asks for the NDIS.386 file, insert
Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Disk 7 and click OK.
17. If prompted for the EL90X.386 driver, insert the 3Com EtherDisk 1
diskette in the A:\ drive. Type the following path to load the
NDIS 3 driver:
A:\WFW311
Click OK.
18. If prompted for the EL90X.DOS driver, insert the 3Com EtherDisk 1
diskette in the A:\ drive. Type the following path to load the
NDIS 2 driver:
A:\NDIS2\DOS
Click OK.
19. The PROTOCOL.INI and SYSTEM.INI files have now been modified. Windows
for Workgroups saves the old versions with the extension .001, where
the number is incremented every time a new PROTOCOL.INI or SYSTEM.INI
file is generated. Click OK.
20. When prompted, restart the computer.
