- Novell NetWare Lite....Server or workstation
-
- This document applies to the EtherExpress(tm) 16, 16TP, 16C, FLASH,
- FLASH TP, FLASHC, MCA, and MCA/TP. It contains installation notes
- for installing the driver. It does not explain how to configure an
- EtherExpress board. For instructions about configuring the board,
- see either the Expert's Guide or the Complete Guide for your board.
-
- This document (or an updated version) is also available on FaxBACK,
- document #6307.
-
-
- INTRODUCTION:
- -------------
- This document is based on NetWare Lite versions 1.0 and 1.1. Novell
- recommends the network adapter use an ODI driver with NetWare Lite,
- but NetWare Lite can also use an IPX driver. This document describes
- the installation procedure for both ODI and IPX workstations.
-
- For more details on NetWare Lite, see Novell's documentation.
-
-
- BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
- -----------------
- Copy the Intel ODI driver to a backup copy of the NetWare DRIVERS
- diskette.
-
- The EtherExpress DOS ODI driver is located in the NETWARE.ODI
- subdirectory on the EtherExpress diskette.
-
- \NETWARE.ODI\EXP16ODI.COM
-
-
- PROCEDURE FOR ODI:
- ------------------
- 1. Start Novell's INSTALL program and follow Novell's instructions
- for "other" drivers. When prompted to insert the "other" driver
- diskette, leave Novell's disk in the drive and press ESC. Select
- the EXP16ODI.COM driver from the list of available drivers.
-
- INSTALL will create a file called STARTNET.BAT. STARTNET.BAT for
- the for EtherExpress should look like this:
-
- LSL
- EXP16ODI
- IPXODI A
- SHARE
- SERVER
- CLIENT
-
- NOTE: If this machine is a client only, the SERVER command will
- not be included.
-
- 2. If the EtherExpress board IS configured to use the default I/O
- address (300H), you are done.
-
- Reboot the computer, run STARTNET and watch for the driver's logon
- message.
-
- If the EtherExpress board IS NOT configured for the default I/O
- address (300H), go to the next step.
-
- 3. Create a NET.CFG file on the boot disk. The NET.CFG should
- contain these statements:
-
- Link Driver EXP16ODI
- Port xxx
-
- WHERE xxx is the I/O address for the EtherExpress card.
-
- NOTE: NET.CFG is case and position sensitive so be careful to use
- capital letters as shown and indent the second line with
- one space or one tab.
-
- The NET.CFG file must be in the same directory as the EtherExpress
- driver and you must be in that directory when you execute EXP16ODI.
-
- When you finish editing the NET.CFG file, reboot the computer, run
- STARTNET and watch for the driver's logon message.
-
-
- PROCEDURE FOR IPX:
- ------------------
- You should not use use IPX in a server/workstation.
-
- 1. Start Novell's INSTALL program and follow Novell's instructions
- for "other" drivers. When prompted to insert the "other" driver
- diskette, leave Novell's disk in the drive and press ESC. Select
- the EXP16ODI.COM driver from the list of available drivers.
-
- INSTALL will create a file called STARTNET.BAT. STARTNET.BAT for
- the for EtherExpress should look like this:
-
- LSL
- EXP16ODI
- IPXODI A
- SHARE
- CLIENT
-
- 2. When you finish the installation, copy IPX.COM from the root
- directory of the EtherExpress disk to the NetWare Lite directory
- on your boot disk.
-
- 3. Edit STARTNET.BAT. Delete LSL, EXP16ODI, and IPXODI A. Replace
- them with IPX. The new STARTNET.BAT should look like this:
-
- IPX
- SHARE
- CLIENT
-
- 4. When you finish editing the STARTNET.BAT file, reboot the
- computer, run STARTNET and watch for the driver's logon message.
-
-
- TROUBLESHOOTING NOTES:
- ======================
- Remote boot (RPL) will not work on a NetWare Lite server or client.
-
- Thin Ethernet (RG58A/U) requires a T-connector on EVERY workstation and
- 50 ohm terminators on the end of each trunk segment. One of the two
- terminators must be grounded. You cannot directly connect 2
- workstations without using T-connectors.
-
- 10BASE-T requires a hub or concentrator. For test purposes, you can
- connect two computers without a hub using a cross-over cable. See the
- 10BASE-T document for more information.
