Requirements

Sample Files

## Requirements

1. The latest version of the Novell NetWare Requester* for IBM OS/2* (including Install). If running IBM OS/2 2.0, 2.1, or Warp* - you need OS/2 Requester ver 2.01 (or later).

2. The PRO/100+ adapter OS/2 ODI driver from the Intel adapter CD at \OS2\E100BODI.SYS. For more information, see Creating an Installation Disk.

## Installation Instructions

1. Run the INSTALL that ships with Novell's OS/2 Requester. If asked for the name of the network interface driver, enter E100BODI.SYS.

2. Choose the session support you need for your configuration. For more information, see the "NetWare Requester for OS/2" that came with the operating system.

3. Save the configuration.

4. When asked for the path and filename for the driver, insert the Intel adapter disk into the drive and press <Enter>.

5. After completing installation, choose Configuration from the main menu. Then, choose This Workstation. This allows you to modify the NET.CFG file, which must reside in the root directory.

   | NOTE: The default frame type for E100BODI.SYS is 802.2. If you're using the 802.3 frame type, you have to include a FRAME statement in the NET.CFG file and list the 802.3 FRAME type first.

## Tips (OS/2 ODI)

- To verify the driver loaded properly In the CONFIG.SYS file, add an invalid device=xxx statement after the E100BODI.SYS line. This will cause a screen scrolling pause so you can check for error messages.

- The error message, "not getting a connection ID", appears when there is either a frame type mismatch or disconnected cable.
