Location of Driver: \DOS\E100BODI.COM

| NOTE: Novell no longer supports NETX.EXE or the VLM client software. However, as a convenience, a copy of NETX.EXE is provided on the Intel CD. Intel recommends that you use the latest Novell Client32* software.

## NETX General Installation

1. From the \DOS directory of the adapter installation disk, load (as needed) LSL.COM, E100BODI.COM, IPXODI.COM, NETX.EXE and NET.CFG to the hard drive (\NWServer).

2. Configure AUTOEXEC.BAT and NET.CFG based on the sample files below. NET.CFG should be in the same directory as the driver.

3. Reboot. The client should connect to the server.

## VLM General Installation

This version of E100BODI.COM requires VLM client version 1.21.

1. Run install.exe on the workstation you are configuring. The program can can be found in the following locations:
   For IntranetWare 4.11:
   from the IntranetWare CD:

   > \PRODUCTS\VLM\IBM_6\INSTALL.EXE
   > \PRODUCTS\VLMIP\IBM_6\INSTALL.EXE (the TCP/IP client)

   or (server):

   > \PUBLIC\CLIENT\DOSWIN
   > For 4.11 clients: from the workstation from the NetWare Workstation for DOS disk. It must be version 1.21 or greater (supplied with IntranetWare 4.11.)

2. Follow the screen prompts including the following options:

   > Directory on the hard drive for the client software. Default directory is C:\NWCLIENT. You can specify another directory.

   > Automatically update CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files? Y/N

   > Specify the directory to load Windows (if applicable) and option to customize for Windows.

   > Configure workstation for back-up by a NetWare server.

3. Select a network driver and set configuration options. Do NOT select a driver from the list Novell provides. Instead, choose Other Driver and insert the Intel adapter disk.

4. Select the Intel PRO/100+ LAN Adapter. Then optionally set the frame type, adapter node address, force duplex mode, and line speed. See NetWare Command Line Parameters and Keywords for possible values for these parameters.

5. Install copies the appropriate files to your hard drive and sets NET.CFG. At this point, the install process is complete.

## Tips (DOS ODI)

- In CONFIG.SYS, add the line LASTDRIVE=Z. In NET.CFG, under the NetWare DOS REQUESTER section (indented), add the line FIRST NETWORK DRIVE=F.

- Support for promiscuous mode is not available since ASM does not include a receive monitor stack. If needed, load RXMONSTK.COM from the VLM client kit, after LSL.COM and before E100BODI.COM.

- This version of E100BODI.COM requires VLM client version 1.21 or higher. Attempting to use an older version of the VLM client may cause connection problems, slow response or computer system lock-ups.

- If running EMM386, make sure you are using v4.49 or later (ships with DOS 6.22).
