Dos And Windows 3.1 Setup For Novell Netware Clients; Automatic Configuration; Test The Adapter And Install Network Drivers - Acer M9N System User Manual

4.1 DOS and Windows 3.1 Setup for Novell
NetWare Clients
Windows 95 users and Windows NT users
do not need to run Setup.
4.1.1

Automatic configuration

PCI computers automatically detect and configure PCI-compliant
adapters while booting. The PRO/100 TX PCI adapter IRQ level and
I/O memory address are automatically set each time you start your
computer.
Start your computer to automatically configure the adapter.
Configuration is complete when the DOS prompt appears. You can
now continue with the procedure below.
If your computer displays an error while booting, it may require
additional steps to configure a PCI adapter. See the PCI installation
tips section for more information if you get an error.
4.1.2

Test the adapter and install network drivers

Although not required for operation, it's a good idea to run diagnostic
tests every time you install an adapter. Intel's Setup program lets you
test the adapter to see if there are any problems with the adapter
hardware, the cabling, or the network connection.
Setup can automatically install NetWare DOS ODI client drivers for
you or display a README file with installation instructions for other
NOS drivers.
1. If your computer already has network drivers installed, restart the
computer without loading them. If the drivers are loaded from the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, type REM in front of each line that loads a
network driver. Or, with DOS 6.x or later press F5 as DOS starts,
to bypass the lines.
