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.

Windows for Workgroups OEM Information Files
Windows for Workgroups 3.11 network adapter setup uses the file
OEMSETUP.INF to determine the driver information for the HP LAN
adapter installed in your computer. Information from the
OEMSETUP.INF file is used by the network adapter setup program to
install the drivers into the Windows directory and to create a
PROTOCOL.INI file with the correct parameters.
When Windows for Workgroups installs a driver from a vendor diskette,
it also stores a copy of the vendor's OEMSETUP.INF file in the
Windows system directory. The OEMSETUP.INF file is renamed
OEMnn.INF, where “nn” is two decimal digits (00, 01, 02, and so on).
There is no checking for duplicate information.
When the Windows for Workgroups network adapter setup program is
run from the Control Panel network icon, it scans all the OEMnn.INF
files for any network drivers. This scan can become confused if
multiple OEMnn.INF files contain identical information (perhaps being
copies of the same original OEMSETUP.INF file).
To correct this situation and allow installation of the ODI driver from
the LAN Disk, any copies of the HP OEMSETUP.INF file from previous
installation attempts must be deleted from the Windows directory.
NOTE To rectify any problems in finding the ODI driver, delete all OEMnn.INF
files that are identical to the OEMSETUP.INF file on the LAN Disk.
