         3C90X EtherLink XL 10/100 / EtherLink XL NIC Family
     Installing a NIC for NetWare in Windows for Workgroups 3.11

IMPORTANT:  You must have either software from Novell or a version of
Windows for Workgroups with NetWare support to install NetWare support
for Windows for Workgroups.

For full NetWare support with Windows for Workgroups, use the NetWare 
installation diskettes provided by Novell.  The installation program 
will prompt you for the necessary files from the 3Com EtherDisk diskette.

The following steps describe how to install your 3Com network NIC in a 
NetWare client running Windows for Workgroups 3.11 without the Novell 
installation diskettes.

1.  Ensure that the NIC has been configured properly in the computer by 
    reviewing the configuration and diagnostic tests.

2.  Use the AutoLink program to install the NetWare ODI client software
    in DOS.  For instructions, refer to the manual or run the HELP.EXE
    file found on EtherDisk #3.

3.  In Windows for Workgroups, locate the Network section (the Network icon).
    Open the Network group and double-click Network Setup.

4.  Click on the Networks... button in the Network Setup window.
  
    To install the Microsoft Network with NetWare, proceed as follows: 
    a.  Choose Install Microsoft Windows Network. 
    b.  Select Other:
    c.  Choose either Novell NetWare[Workstation Shell 3.X] or 
        Novell NetWare[Workstation Shell 4.0 and above] from the 
        pull down menu.  Shell 3.X is used for NETX.EXE and Shell 4.0
        is for the VLM requester.
    d.  Click OK when you are finished.
    e.  Continue at step 5.
    
    To install Novell NetWare only, proceed as follows:
    a.  Choose Install Windows Support for the following network only:
    b.  Choose either Novell NetWare[Workstation Shell 3.X] or 
        Novell NetWare[Workstation Shell 4.0 and above] from the 
        pull down menu.  Shell 3.X is used for NETX.EXE and Shell 4.0
        is for the VLM requester.
    c.  Continue at step 14.
    
5.  To install the network NIC, click the Drivers... button.

6.  In the Network Drivers window, click the Add adapter... button.

7.  From the list of network NICs, select Unlisted or Updated Network
    Adapter and then click OK.

8.  Network setup now requires the vendor-provided network driver diskette.
    Insert the EtherDisk #2 diskette in drive A: and type the following 
    path for the location of the NDIS driver:
    
    A:\WFW311
    
    Click OK.

9.  From the Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter screen, select 3Com 
    Fast EtherLink XL/EtherLink XL NIC (3C90X) and click OK.
    
    The Network Setup screen now lists the adapter, along with the 
    default protocol stacks:
    
    3Com Fast EtherLink XL/EtherLink XL NIC (3C90X) (NDIS2/NDIS3)
       IPX/SPX Compatible Transport with NetBIOS
       Microsoft NetBEUI
       
10. Click setup in the Network Drivers window.  

11. Click the down arrow under Driver Type and select the ODI driver.  
    Then click OK.

12. Click Close in the Network Drivers window to accept these settings.
    
13. Click OK in the Network Setup window to start the installation.

14. At this point Windows for Workgroups may give you a chance to add
    or change your user name, workgroup, and computer name.  If your network
    administrator supplies you this information, use it. If not, you can
    create this information yourself.  When you have finished, click OK.

    NOTE: It may be necessary to use your Novell or Windows for Workgroups
          network support diskettes during the installation.  Later versions
          of NetWare include a file that Windows for Workgroups will not
          copy for you.  If you get an error stating that NWGDI.DLL is
          missing, you must copy the file manually into the SYSTEM 
          subdirectory of your WINDOWS directory.

15. The Windows Setup program may ask if you want to replace the Enhanced 
    Mode Protocol Manager or your Novell NetWare files with the version 
    you are installing now. Click Yes to All.

16. If the Windows Setup program asks for the NDIS.386 file,  insert
    Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Disk 7 and click OK.

17. If prompted for the EL90X.386 driver, insert the 3Com EtherDisk #2
    diskette in the A:\ drive. Type the following path to load the 
    NDIS 3 driver:

    A:\WFW311
    
    Click OK.

18. If prompted for the EL90X.DOS driver, insert the 3Com EtherDisk 3
    diskette in the A:\ drive. Type the following path to load the 
    NDIS 2 driver:

    A:\NDIS2\DOS
    
    Click OK.

19. The PROTOCOL.INI and SYSTEM.INI files have now been modified. Windows
    for Workgroups saves the old versions with the extension .001, where 
    the number is incremented every time a new version of the file is
    generated. Click OK.

20. When prompted, restart the computer.
