The AutoLink installation utility is a DOS application. It cannot
run in a Windows NT or Windows 95 DOS window, and
it cannot be used to install an OS/2, Windows NT, or
Windows 95 client. For these operating systems, use the
manual installation procedure described later in this chapter.
Before Using the AutoLink Configuration Utility
Make sure that the following steps have been performed
before using the AutoLink installation utility:
■
The 3C359 NIC is installed in your DOS-based PC and is
connected to the network.
■
NetWare version 3.12 or 4.1x is installed on the server.
■
A NetWare user account is available with a user ID
and password.
■
DOS version 3.2 or later is installed on the client PC, and
the PC has been booted under DOS.
■
The PC has at least 1 MB of free hard disk space.
Modifying AutoLink Default Settings
Use the AUTOLINK.CFG file to modify the AutoLink
installation process. The AUTOLINK.CFG file in the
\AUTOLINK directory on
TokenDisk
diskette #1 (or on
the
TokenDisk
CD) contains default settings and descriptions
of the AUTOLINK parameters.
See the AUTOLINK.TXT file in the \AUTOLINK directory for
information on customizing AutoLink and server support.
Running the AutoLink Program
The AutoLink program loads the NetWare DOS ODI 16-bit
client driver. To run the AutoLink program, follow these steps:
1 Install the 3C359 NIC and connect it to the network as
described in Chapter 2.
2 Restart the PC from DOS, verifying that no network
drivers are loaded.
If you are using DOS version 6.x, press F5 after the “Starting
MS-DOS...” message is displayed as DOS loads. This prevents
any drivers or memory managers from loading. If you are
using an earlier version of DOS, boot from a DOS diskette
that does not contain drivers.
