Loading 386 Lan Drivers for NOVELL 386 --------------------------------------------- Once the server has been loaded, at the colon prompt, proceed as follows: :LOAD X:Filename.LAN (X" being DOS directory which contains the .LAN file, "Filename" being the actual name of the .LAN file. Once the server is loaded, hard drive can no longer be seen. Therfore, you must load from another drive. Once the server is up, and stations are logged in. The .LAN file can be added to the SYS:SYSTEM directory, and when the server is loaded again, it will find the file automatically. I/O Port: _____ Base Memory: _____ IRQ: ___ (Enter in the values which the interface card is configured for. The settings may already be setup within the AUTOEXEC.NCF file **, therefore the configuration settings may not appear) : BIND IPX to Filename.LAN ("Filename" being the same file that was loaded above) Network #: ___ (The network number must be unique to the cabling system it is attached to. If two LAN cards are attached to the same cabling system they will have the same Network Number. This number must be: 1. A hexadecimal number from "0" to "F". 2. 1 to 8 digits in length. For further information refer to the NOVELL "386 INSTALLATION MANUAL" or "Netware Concepts" manual.) The Lan Driver is now loaded. If the file server contains more than one Lan Card, you must load/bind a driver for each card. ** The Autoexec.ncf file is a txt file,that Netware will inspect upon booting. It contains information on Lan Cards, Disk Drives, server configurations. This is similar to an autoexec file, it will automatically load the server with the parameters contained within. E.G. File Server name EXAMPLE IPX internal net 1991 Load PDA386OS.LAN Port=2E0 Mem=D0000 Int=2 Frame=802.4 bind ipx to PDA386OS.LAN Net=12 mount all If using high performance drivers at the workstations, the following command must be added to the startup.ncf file. Also, the workstation packet size must never exceed the file server packet size. SET MAXIMUM PHYSICAL RECEIVE PACKET SIZE = XXXX XXXX = The driver packet size for the server, which must be one of the following choices. 1) 4202 (4K) 2) 2154 (2k) 3) 1024 (1k) 4) 618 (512b)
