Novell NetWare Client Driver

This section describes how to install the Novell NetWare
client driver for a PC running DOS, Windows 3.x, or
Windows for Workgroups. You use 3Com AutoLink
software to install DOS client software and drivers for
Novell NetWare 3.1x or 4.x.

Do not use the AutoLink driver installation software if you
are running Windows 95 or Windows NT. See the previous
sections in this chapter for procedures to install network
drivers under these operating systems.

AutoLink software modifies the CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT files. It adds several lines to the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file and saves the old file as
AUTOEXEC.3CM. It also adds lines to the CONFIG.SYS
file and saves the old file as CONFIG.3CM.

AutoLink software logs on to the server and updates the
client software if your MIS department has already
configured a 3Install account on your server.

To use AutoLink software, your PC should have only one
3C900B NIC installed and at least 1 MB of available hard
disk space.
