Location of Driver: \DOS\E100BODI.COM

NOTE: Novell no longer supports NETX.EXE or the VLM client software. However, as a convenience, a copy of NETX.EXE is provided on the Intel CD. Intel recommends that you use the latest Novell Client32* software.


NETX General Installation

  1. From the \DOS directory of the adapter installation disk, load (as needed) LSL.COM, E100BODI.COM, IPXODI.COM, NETX.EXE and NET.CFG to the hard drive (\NWServer).

  2. Configure AUTOEXEC.BAT and NET.CFG based on the sample files below. NET.CFG should be in the same directory as the driver.

  3. Reboot. The client should connect to the server.


VLM General Installation

This version of E100BODI.COM requires VLM client version 1.21.

  1. Run install.exe on the workstation you are configuring. The program can can be found in the following locations:

    For IntranetWare 4.11:

    from the IntranetWare CD:

    \PRODUCTS\VLM\IBM_6\INSTALL.EXE
    \PRODUCTS\VLMIP\IBM_6\INSTALL.EXE (the TCP/IP client)

    or (server):

    \PUBLIC\CLIENT\DOSWIN
    For 4.11 clients: from the workstation from the NetWare Workstation for DOS disk. It must be version 1.21 or greater (supplied with IntranetWare 4.11.)

  2. Follow the screen prompts including the following options:

    Directory on the hard drive for the client software. Default directory is C:\NWCLIENT. You can specify another directory.

    Automatically update CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files? Y/N

    Specify the directory to load Windows (if applicable) and option to customize for Windows.

    Configure workstation for back-up by a NetWare server.

  3. Select a network driver and set configuration options. Do NOT select a driver from the list Novell provides. Instead, choose Other Driver and insert the Intel adapter disk. 

  4. Select the Intel PRO/100+ LAN Adapter. Then optionally set the frame type, adapter node address, force duplex mode, and line speed. See NetWare Command Line Parameters and Keywords for possible values for these parameters.

  5. Install copies the appropriate files to your hard drive and sets NET.CFG. At this point, the install process is complete.
