Location of Driver: \DOS\E100BODI.COM

| NOTE: Novell no longer supports NETX.EXE or the VLM client software. However, as a convenience to Intel customers, a copy of NETX.EXE is provided on the Intel Configuration and Drivers 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 and 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. Install.exe can be found:
   For IntranetWare 4.11:
   from the IntranetWare CD at:

   > \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, rather choose Other Driver and insert Intel adapter disk. Select the Intel PRO/100+ LAN Adapter. Then optionally set:

   > Frame Type: match the server.
   > Adapter Node Address:
   > Force Duplex Mode:
   > Line Speed:

   See NetWare Command Line Parameters and Keywords for possible values.

4. Install copies the appropriate files to your hard drive and sets NET.CFG. This is the final step.

## Tips (DOS ODI)

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

2. Promiscuous mode support is not supported 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.

3. 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.

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