NOVELL NETWARE
ENVIRONMENTS
This chapter describes how to install a 3C359 NIC network
device driver for various Novell NetWare network operating
system environments.
Before you install a NetWare driver, make sure that the
3C359 NIC is inserted in the PC as described in Chapter 2.
Installing a DOS 16-Bit Client Driver
This section describes installing the DOS 16-bit client driver
using two methods:
■ Automatically, using the 3Com AutoLink software utility
■ Manually, using a NetWare installation utility and
TokenDisk diskette or CD
Installing a DOS 16-Bit Client Automatically
The 3Com AutoLink software utility automatically
configures one 3C359 NIC and installs the DOS 16-bit ODI
client network driver for NetWare 3.12 and 4.1x systems.
This section describes running the AutoLink program.
AutoLink Software Functions
AutoLink software configures your PC as a NetWare DOS
ODI client. The AutoLink installation utility performs the
following functions:
■ Installs a DOS NetWare Universal Client Virtual Loadable
Module (VLM) from TokenDisk diskette #1, or from the
TokenDisk CD.
The AutoLink installation utility cannot be used to install
multiple 3C359 NICs.
■ Modifies the CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and NET.CFG
files. (The previous versions of these files are renamed
CONFIG.3CM, AUTOEXEC.3CM, and NET.3CM.)
