Error in User Guide
Chapter 3 of the user guide states incorrectly that the
3C3X9.LAN driver can be used with NetWare 3.11 servers.
This driver conforms to the Novell ODI 3.3 specification;
therefore, it cannot be used with NetWare 3.11.
For details on this driver, see the next section,
“NetWare Server/Client 32 Driver.”
NetWare Server/Client 32 Driver
If you are using the 3C3X9.LAN driver with NetWare 3.12
servers, you need to apply the following software patches,
which are available from the Novell Web site,
www.novell.com:
■ LANDR9
■
312PTA.EXE
The \CLIENT32 directory on TokenDisk diskette #2 contains
a driver and files needed for Client 32 installations. The
CLIENT32.TXT text file located in the same directory
describes how to install Client 32 in DOS or
Windows 3.1 systems.
