NetWare Command Line Parameters and Keywords
Check the date of the ETHERTSM.NLM file. To complete installation, this file must be dated 9-22-98. If you do not have the correct version of this file, you can copy ETHERTSM.NLM from the \NWSERVER directory on the Intel CD.
From the Novell NetWare Client32* software, run INSTALL.EXE.
Select the NetWare Client32 products you want to install on
your workstation from the list. For example:
[X] NetWare Client32 for DOS
[X] NetWare Client32 for Windows
[ ] NetWare TCP/IP protocol stack
[ ] NetWare IP (TCP/IP Required)
[ ]Desktop SNMP
[ ] HOSTMIB for SNMP (SNMP Required)
[ ] NetWare TSA for SMS

NOTE: "NetWare Client32 for DOS" and "NetWare Client32 for Windows" are selected by default. |
From the Customize Support for Windows menu, specify if you want to use multiple country codes or if you want to set the shared Windows path. The default for both of these is NO.
From the Select LAN Driver Type menu, select 32-bit LAN drivers.
From the 32-Bit Network Board Drivers menu, select User-specified 32-bit Driver.
Insert the driver diskette and type <drive>:\NWSERVER.
Select Intel(R) PRO/100 LAN Adapter.
(OPTIONAL) Specify the SPEED, IOMAPMODE, FORCEDUPLEX, and FRAME settings for the PRO/100 adapter. For information on these settings, see the Command Line Parameters page.

NOTE: The default settings work for most installations. If you use multiple frame types, see the Tips section below. |
From the Installation Configuration Summary, verify the default settings for Client32 are correct, or modify as necessary.
Modify AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS [YES]
Client Directory: | C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32 |
Windows Directory: | C:\WINDOWS |
LAN driver type: | 32-bit LAN drivers |
LAN driver: | Intel(R) PCI Adapters |
NetWare then copies the files to your workstations and modifies the configuration files to match your selected configuration.
To avoid the following message when loading the driver:
"Do you want to load another frame type for a previously loaded board? Y/N "
add the slot number to the LOAD line in STARTNET.BAT. By default it
is located in the \NOVELL\CLIENT32 directory. The only way for the system to determine the slot
number is to put an invalid value on the load line. For example:
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\CE100B.LAN SPEED=0 IOMAPMODE=0
FORCEDUPLEX=0 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 SLOT=e
When you reboot, you will be prompted with the correct value. Modify the STARTNET.BAT again, and use that value. If the slot is not specified correctly, only the first frame type loads. The Speed, Forceduplex and Iomapmode parameters take their default values when they are not specified.
CONFIG.SYS must contain the LASTDRIVE=Z statement.
NET.CFG must contain FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F indented under the NetWare DOS Requester section
Verify that the PRO/100 adapter passes the diagnostics test by running the Diag100.EXE diagnostics program found on the root of the CD. If the adapter fails diagnostics it will not function correctly running Client32.
Using the 16-bit ODI driver with Client32 requires CLIENT32.NLM dated 10/09/96 or later. The driver does not load with older versions.
If you encounter the error message:
"An attempt to load CE100B.LAN failed because the module references an undefined external:
MSMHardwareFailure"
you need to update the NetWare client files. Download ODI33x.EXE (where x=latest revision number) from Novell's
electronic services and run the update utility.
