Installing Novell NetWare Drivers
This document explains how to install the Novell NetWare Open Data
Link Interface (ODI) drivers required to use the PC with a Novell
NetWare LAN.
•If the PC is supplied with the HP LAN Disk, use this disk to install the
LAN drivers.
•If the PC has preinstalled software on the hard disk, the LAN drivers
are supplied on the PC's hard disk in subdirectories in the \LANDRV
directory.
When you start your PC for the first time you will be asked to select
which type of network you want to use with your PC. According to your
selection the appropriate drivers and files will be automatically
installed. If you want to install network software at any other time,
follow the procedure described below.
If you want to use the DOS-based Vectra PC as a client on the LAN,
refer to the steps given under “ODI DOS Client Driver” on page 3.
Alternatively, refer to the steps given under “Parallel Transferring ODI
DOS Client Driver” on page 19.
If you want to use the OS/2-based Vectra PC as a client on the LAN,
refer to the steps given under “ODI OS/2 Client Driver” on page 8.
If you want to use the Windows for Workgroups 3.11-based Vectra PC
as a client on the LAN, refer to the steps given under “ODI Driver for
Windows for Workgroups Clients” on page 12.
If you want to use the Windows NT-based Vectra PC as a client on the
LAN, refer to the steps given under “ODI Driver for Windows NT
Clients” on page 18.
NOTE Before installing the network drivers, connect the Enhanced PCI
Ethernet interface to the LAN and set up (configure) the Enhanced PCI
Ethernet interface.

ODI DOS Client Driver
The Novell ODI driver for DOS is used with many Novell products. It is
also used by DOS and Microsoft Windows 3.x computers to gain access
to Novell servers through one of the following:
❒NetWare DOS Requester (using Virtual Loadable Modules or VLMs)
or
❒NetWare DOS Shell (using NETX.EXE)
Both NetWare clients use an ODI driver to enable them to use the
Enhanced PCI Ethernet interface to access the LAN medium. File
service to all versions of NetWare servers is possible from either the
DOS Requester or DOS Shell clients. Access to enhanced services
provided by later versions of NetWare servers may require using the
DOS Requester. Other Novell products, like Personal NetWare and LAN
Workplace for DOS, also use the DOS ODI driver.
The DOS ODI driver is contained within the NOVELL\DOSCLNT
directory of your LAN Disk, the contents of this directory are:
\NOVELL\DOSCLNT\PCNTNW.COM
\NOVELL\DOSCLNT\PCNTNW.INS
\NOVELL\DOSCLNT\NET.CFG
To install the ODI driver with DOS Requester (VLM.EXE), refer to
page 4.
To install the ODI driver with DOS Shell (NETX.EXE), refer to page 6.
For more information about Netware DOS Client, refer to the Netware
Client for DOS and MS Windows User’s Guide and Netware Client
for DOS and MS Windows Technical Reference manuals provided
with your Novell software.
For more information about the NET.CFG file, refer to the Novell
NetWare manuals and to page 24.
NOTE When the DOS ODI driver is used, it will locate the HP Enhanced PCI
Ethernet Interface and read its settings automatically.

Installing Novell NetWare Drivers
ODI DOS Client Driver
ODI Driver with DOS Requester
To install the ODI driver for DOS, follow the instructions below:
1Locate the Novell DOS Requester “NetWare Client for DOS and MS
Windows” diskettes. These could be labeled “WSDOS_1” and
“WSWIN_1”. To create these diskettes from the NetWare CD ROM,
follow the NetWare documentation included with the CD-ROM.
2Run the NetWare client installation program.
aInsert the number 1 diskette into the drive and run the INSTALL
program. For example, if the NetWare diskette is in drive A, then
type:
A:\
INSTALL
bFollow the Novell instructions to fill in the first three fields of the
form.
cIt is recommended to answer Yes when asked if you want to allow
the Novell install program to modify the start-up files. This will
make the NetWare client start up automatically and attach to the
server every time the computer is rebooted. If No is entered, the
commands to start up the NetWare client will have to be entered
manually.
dIf Windows is installed on the computer, it is recommended to
answer Yes to allow the Novell install program to add Windows
support.
3When asked to select the driver for your network board, remove the
Novell diskette and insert the LAN Disk. Press to bring up
the Network Board window.
4Select A:\NOVELL\DOSCLNT then press .
5The line HP Enhanced PCI Ethernet Interface will be
highlighted. Press to select the driver (PCNTNW.COM).

6The Novell INSTALL program will display a window with the settings
for the card. The following parameters will be shown:
Optional Bus Identifier
Optional Media Frame Type(s)
Optional Node Address
Optional Media Type
Optional LAN activity LED
Press without selecting to override any parameters and
proceed with the remainder of the steps in the NetWare DOS
Requester INSTALL program.
7The installation of the DOS ODI driver and NetWare client software
is complete. Refer to page 7 for information on how to start a
NetWare client.
NOTE The ODI driver default frame type is ETHERNET_802.2. NetWare 286
and 386 servers use frame type ETHERNET_802.3 as their default, but
NetWare 4.0 uses both ETHERNET_802.2 and ETHERNET_802.3
types. The HP Enhanced PCI Ethernet Interface supports both
Ethernet frame types.

ODI Driver with DOS Shell
To install the ODI driver for DOS, follow the instructions below:
1To begin the installation you require the Novell DOS Shell
installation diskette labeled 'WSGEN' and the LAN Disk.
2Create a directory on the DOS boot drive (for example C) for the HP
and NetWare files using the following commands at the DOS prompt:
C:
MKDIR C:\NOVELL
3Copy the DOS ODI Driver and NET.CFG File. For example, if the
LAN Disk is in Drive A use the following commands:
COPY A:\NOVELL\DOSCLNT\PCNTNW.COM C:\NOVELL
COPY A:\NOVELL\DOSCLNT\NET.CFG C:\NOVELL
The contents of the NET.CFG file are given below:
LINK DRIVER PCNTNW
BUSTYPE PCI1
FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
LED2 90
4Copy the following files from the Novell installation diskette labeled
“WSGEN” to the C:\NOVELL directory:
LSL.COM (must be version 2.11 or later)
IPXODI.COM (must be version 2.20 or later)
NETX.EXE
These files are either in the root or the DOSODI directory on the
NetWare diskette.
5The installation of the DOS ODI driver and NetWare client software
is complete. Refer to page 7 for information on how to start a
NetWare client.
NOTE The DOS Shell can only access a server's bindery. If you want access any
enhanced NetWare Directory Services, you should use the DOS
Requester (VLM).

ODI OS/2 Client Driver
ODI OS/2 Client Driver
An OS/2 computer gains access to NetWare servers by using the
Requester for OS/2. The Requester needs the OS/2 ODI driver to
enable it to use the Enhanced PCI Ethernet interface to access the
LAN medium.
The OS/2 ODI driver PCNTNW.OS2 is contained in the LAN Disk in the
\NOVELL\OS2CLNT directory.
To install the ODI driver for OS/2, follow the instructions below:
1Boot the computer into OS/2. Enter OS/2 into full screen mode by
double-clicking on the Command Prompts icon in the OS/2 System
window and then double clicking on the OS/2 Full Screen icon.
2If you are installing OS/2 Requester from the NetWare Requester
Disk, go to the steps given under “Installing OS/2 Requester from
NetWare Requester Disk” on page 9.
If you are installing OS/2 Requester from the NetWare WSOS2_1
Disk, go to the steps given under “Installing OS/2 Requester from
NetWare WSOS2_1 Disk” on page 10.
