Updating the device driver for a DOS network server
If you are using the CD-ROM drive in a DOS network server you need to make the
following changes:
1. Add the /S parameter to the MSCDEX line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
2. Verify that the MSCDEX line is located after the line that loads the network
services (NET START for IBM PC LAN program).
3. Do one of the following, depending on your operating system:
If you are using DOS 3.3, be sure you have PC Local Area Network (LAN)
Program Corrective Service Diskette level IP00755 or later installed.
If you are using DOS 4.0, be sure you have DOS Corrective Service Diskette
level UR 29015 or later installed. (The computer cannot be configured as an
Extended Services Domain Controller for the IBM PC LAN Program.)
Contact your IBM reseller for more information about the PC LAN Program
Corrective Service Diskette or the DOS Corrective Service Diskette.
