From the Novell NetWare Client32* software, run INSTALL.EXE.
Select the NetWare Client32 products you want to install on
your workstation from the list:
[X] NetWare Client32 for DOS
[ ] 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 usually selected by default. |
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 following settings for the
PRO/100 adapter:
Parameter Defaults:
Speed (100B only) 0 (auto detect)
IOMAPMODE Memory Mapped
Forceduplex 0 (auto negotiate)
Frame Type Ethernet_802.2
Ethernet_802.3
![]() |
NOTE: The default settings will 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
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 you load 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 (but the load line should be all on one line):
LOAD C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32\CE100B.LAN SPEED=0 IOMAPMODE=0
FORCEDUPLEX=0 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 SLOT=e
When you next 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 will load. The parameters for Speed, Forceduplex and Iomapmode are optional given they have a default value if not listed.
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 won't 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.
