Server Driver for NetWare 4.X Introduction: ------------- This document describes the procedure to install the NetWare v4.X server driver for REALTEK RTL8029 PCI ethernet adapter. Location of Driver: \NWSERVER\4X\PCISRV.LAN Installation Procedure : --------------------- Before you start with the installation process, make sure that the Novell NetWare v4.X server is properly installed. Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your server. 1. Insert the Realtek Driver Diskette into drive A and check the contents of subdirectory \NWSERVER\4X, It should contain the following file : PCISRV.LANÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V4.X Server Driver PCISRV.LDIÄÄÄ Novell NetWare V4.X Server Driver Installation Information File 2. At the NetWare prompt (indicated by the Server name), run the INSTALL.NLM program by typing: server name: LOAD INSTALL 3. Select "Maintenance/Selective Install" and press . 4. Select " LAN Driver Options (Configure/Load/...) " and press . 5. Press the key to specify other drivers to install. 6. Press and specify the driver path (A:\NWSERVER\4X) and press . 7. The PCISRV.LAN driver should appear in your choice list for the 'Select a LAN Driver' field. Choose this driver to start the driver loading and binding procedure. This will allow you to load and bind all 4 frame types supported by NetWare. 8. Add the LOAD and BIND statements you require to the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that the LAN driver will load automatically each time the server starts up. Installation Notes: ------------------- 1. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters: If you have multiple LAN adapters in a single server, each adapter must have a different network number. You may also want to name each adapter for ease of management. For example: LOAD PCISRV EtherID=0123456789AB FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=11 LOAD PCISRV EtherID=0123456789BC FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 NAME=LAN_B BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=22 (The keyword, EtherID, provided for multiple LAN cards by the driver PCISRV.LAN is the ethernet address of a adapter. If EtherID unknown, you can ignore it and directly LOAD under the server prompt, then your screen will display every adapter ethernet address). 2. The default frame type for NetWare 4.X binding is Ethernet_802.2 and not Ethernet_802.3. This is the difference between v3.11 and v4.X of NetWare operating system. 3. Edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF if you want to change some parameters. For example, if you're using a NetWare 3.11 workstation and want to log into a NetWare v4.X server. The default frame type of NetWare 3.11 is Ethernet 802.3, while that of NetWare v4.X is Ethernet 802.2. Before you can log into the NetWare v4.X, make sure there is a protocol binding for Ethernet 802.3 in the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file. If problems occur during the binding process, your screen will prompt you with error messages. Please refer to your NetWare 386 manual for details on these messages.
