Server Driver for NetWare 4.X Introduction: ------------- This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v4.X server driver for PCI ethernet adapter. Location of Driver: \NWSERVER\4X\PCISRV.LAN Installation Procedure : --------------------- Before you start with the installation process, make sure that the Novell NetWare v4.X server is properly installed. Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your server. 1. Insert the ETHPCI Driver Diskette into drive A and check the contents of subdirectory \NWSERVER\4X, It should contain the following file : PCISRV.LANÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V4.X Server Driver PCISRV.LDIÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V4.X Server Driver Installation Information File 2. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name), run the INSTALL.NLM program by typing: server name: LOAD INSTALL 3. Select " Driver Option " and press . 4. Select " Configure network drivers " and press . 5. Select " Select a driver " and press . 6. Press the key to specify other drivers to install. 7. Press and specify the driver path (A:\NWSERVER\4X) and press . 8. The PCISRV.LAN driver should appear in your choice list for the 'Select a LAN Driver' field. Choose this driver to start the driver loading and binding procedure. This will allow you to load and bind all 4 frame types supported by NetWare. 9. Add the LOAD and BIND statements you require to the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the LAN driver will load automatically each time the server starts up. Installation Notes: ------------------- 1. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters: The keyword "EtherID" is the ethernet address of a adapter. This keyword is provided for multiple LAN adapters in a single server by the driver PCISRV.LAN. So, add EtherID in LOAD commands. For example: LOAD PCISRV EtherID=004005678901 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=11 LOAD PCISRV EtherID=004005678902 FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LAN_B BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=22 2. The default frame type for NetWare 4.X binding is Ethernet_802.2 and not Ethernet_802.3. This is the difference between v3.11 and v4.X of NetWare operating system. 3. Edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF if you want to change some parameters. For example, if you're using a NetWare 3.11 workstation and wants to log into a NetWare v4.X server. The default frame type of NetWare 3.11 is Ethernet 802.3, while that of NetWare v4.X is Ethernet 802.2. Before you can log into the NetWare v4.X, make sure there is a protocol binding for Ethernet 802.3 in the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file. If problems occur during the binding process, your screen will prompt you with error messages. Please refer to your NetWare 386 manual for details on these messages.
