Tips

Sample Files

Command Line Parameters

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 on Intel CD, 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 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 the 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 Command Line Parameters for possible values for these parameters.

5. The installation utility copies the appropriate files to your hard drive and sets NET.CFG. At this point, the installation 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 as ASM does not include a receive monitor stack. If needed, load RXMONSTK.COM from the VLM client kit. RXMONSTK.COM should be loaded before E100BODI.COM and after LSL.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).
