3 Add the following two lines to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file:
load C:\NWSERVER\3C90X.LAN slot=<slot>
NAME=<name> FRAME=<frametype>
bind ipx to <name> net=<number>
4 Save and exit the file, and then reboot the server.
NetWare 4.10 and 4.11
Follow these steps to install the driver in a NetWare 4.10
or 4.11 server:
1 Install the NetWare server software.
The
NIC Selection
menu appears.
2 Press Enter to display a list of NIC drivers.
3 Press Insert to install an unlisted driver.
4 Insert EtherDisk diskette 1 in drive A and press Enter.
5 Press Enter after the driver is loaded.
6 Save parameters and continue the installation.
Multiple NICs
To support more than one NIC in a NetWare server, change
the AUTOEXEC.NCF file to the following format:
load C:\NWSERVER\3C90X.LAN slot=<slot1>
NAME=<name1> FRAME=<frametype1>
bind ipx to <name1> net=<net1>
load C:\NWSERVER\3C90X.LAN SLOT=<slot2>
NAME=<name2> FRAME=<frametype2>
bind ipx to <name2> net=<net2>
The values <slot1> and <slot2> are the values of the
PCI slots for the 3C900B NIC. You can use the 3Com DOS
diagnostic program to verify the PCI slot number that the
NIC is installed in. See Figure 2-1.
The values <name1> and <name2> are unique names
assigned to each NIC by your network administrator. The
values <name1> and <name 2> must be different names.
The frame parameter (frametype1 and frametype2) can be
one of the following: Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3,
Ethernet_II, or Ethernet_SNAP. Make sure that the
frametype for the server and the workstation is the same.
