ODI Driver for Windows for Workgroups Clients
Windows for Workgroups OEM Information Files
Windows for Workgroups 3.11 network adapter setup uses the file OEMSETUP.INF
to determine the driver information for the HP LAN adapter installed in your
computer. Information from the OEMSETUP.INF file is used by the network
adapter setup program to install the drivers into the Windows directory and to
create a PROTOCOL.INI file with the correct parameters.
When Windows for Workgroups installs a driver from a vendor diskette, it also
stores a copy of the vendor's OEMSETUP.INF file in the Windows system directory.
The OEMSETUP.INF file is renamed OEMnn.INF, where “nn” is two decimal digits
(00, 01, 02, and so on). There is no checking for duplicate information.
When the Windows for Workgroups network adapter setup program is run from the
Control Panel network icon, it scans all the OEMnn.INF files for any network
drivers. This scan can become confused if multiple OEMnn.INF files contain
identical information (perhaps being copies of the same original OEMSETUP.INF
file).
To correct this situation and allow installation of the ODI driver from the LAN Disk,
any copies of the HP OEMSETUP.INF file from previous installation attempts must
be deleted from the Windows directory.
NOTE
To rectify any problems in finding the ODI driver, delete all OEMnn.INF files that are
identical to the OEMSETUP.INF file on the LAN Disk.
