- Insert LAN_DRV_??? Diskette Help 2 of 2
- Many LAN board manufacturers write their own
- drivers to work with NetWare.
- They provide the driver file and the driver
- description file on a disk labeled
- LAN_DRV_??? (the ??? is replaced by a number).
- The driver file has an .OBJ extension and
- the description file has a .LAN extenstion.
- Driver Description Conflict Help 1 of 1
- Two LAN driver description files have the
- same driver identification number. You can
- have only one driver of each type. Choose one.
- This usually happens when a new version of the
- same driver is encountered while reading the
- description files.
- (Novell drivers usually have a date string in
- parentheses at the end of the description
- string so you can find the most recent
- driver.)

- specified.
- A new IPX.COM file is placed in the WSGEN
- directory if you are running on a hard disk or

- diskette, IPX.COM is placed on the WSGEN disk.
- Generation Complete Help 1 of 1
- A new IPX.COM file is now in the WSGEN
- directory or on the WSGEN disk.

- NetWare DOS shell in your workstation. (You

- disk.)
