These drivers have been enhanced with support for newer PCN2 boards, faster machines (25-33 Mhz), microchannel boards, and LAN Support program features. The server drivers correct problems with packet congestion on a broadband network and occasional GPIs. They are also self-configuring and can be selected twice in NETGEN. Problems resulting in incorrect node addresses, conflicts with IPX, lost connections, and lockups or network errors under heavy network traffic have been corrected in the workstation drivers. To install this version of the PCN2 file server drivers: 1) Backup your AUXGEN and LAN_DRV_001 diskettes or subdirectories. 2) If you are using IBM LAN Support use the ?PCN2L.OBJ drivers; otherwise use the ?PCN2.OBJ drivers. Copy the files ?PCNL.OBJ or ?PCN.OBJ onto your LAN_DRV_.001 diskette or sudirectory. Copy the file PCN2L.LAN or PCN2.LAN onto your AUXGEN diskette or sudirectory. 3) Run NETGEN and choose "IBM PCN II & Baseband LAN Support Prog Compatible v1.15 (900905)" for LAN Support OR choose "IBM PCN II & Baseband v1.15 (900905)". Regenerate the operating system as you normally would and be sure to replace the old operating system with the new NET$OS.EX? files. To install this version of the PCN2 workstation drivers: 1) Backup your SHGEN-1 and LAN_DRV_.001 diskettes or subdirectories. 2) Copy the SPCN2.LAN file to your SHGEN-1 diskette or subdirectory. Copy the SPCN2.OBJ file to your LAN_DRV_001 diskette or subdirectory. 3) Run SHGEN and select "IBM PCN II & Baseband v1.15 (900905)." ***************************************************************************** CAUTION ALWAYS backup your system before implementing any program/utility revision involving the low-level functions of NetWare including re-linking of operating system .OBJ files, Bindery utilities, drive and volume operation, etc. *****************************************************************************
