4-2 CHAPTER 4: LANAID AND IBM LAN CLIENT
Net Address
LANAID identifies the 3C389 PC Card to be configured by
its universally administered address, which was assigned
at the factory. The universally administered address (also
known as the net address or MAC address) of the
3C389 PC Card is shown on the back of the card.
Ensure that the address shown by LANAID is the same as
the address on the 3C389 PC Card. It may be necessary
to remove one or more PC Cards to allow LANAID to find
the 3C389 PC Card to be configured.
IBM LAN Client
IBM LAN Client has the following features:
■ As little as 2 KB conventional memory required.
■ Protocol NetWare Loadable Modules (NLMs): these
are dynamically loadable and unloadable modules
that operate in 32-bit protect mode and implement
the various protocol functions. Supported protocols
include 802.2, IPX/SPX, TCP/IP, and NetBIOS.
■ New Novell NetWare Client-32 for DOS/Windows
■ 32-bit, protect-mode client
■ Automatically reconnects an entire network
environment, including open files
■ Enhanced cache (large, configurable network
cache)
■ Enhanced native installation and configuration
utilities.
■ Provides backwards compatibility for existing
DOS 802.2 and NetBIOS applications.
■ Uses NET.CFG file, consistent with other products.
■ Concurrent multiple frame types and protocols.
■ Winsock 1.1 support for TCP/IP.
DOS conventional memory consumption does not
increase when you combine multiple protocols. The DOS
LAN Services (DLS) Client can require significant amounts
of DOS memory.
