Workstation for DOS ODI Client



   Introduction:

   -------------

   This document describes the procedure to setup the NetWare v3.X , v4.X

   workstation driver for REALTEK RTL8139 PCI ethernet adapter.



   Location of Driver:     \NWCLIENT\DOS\RTSODI.COM



   Sample Configuration Files:

   ---------------------------

     STARTNET.BAT:

         LSL

         RTSODI

         IPXODI

         NETX or VLM (VLM's for NetWare 4.x )



     NET.CFG:

         LINK DRIVER RTSODI

           SPEED 100  --Specify adapter's speed.



           BUSNO NN   --where NN is the PCI bus identifier of the PCI bus

                        which connectsto the adapter.

           DEVICENO NN --where NN is the specific PCI BIOS device

                         identification number of the specified PCI adapter.

          [ or you can use "EtherID" to select a specific RTL8139 adapter:

           EtherID NNNNNNNNNNNN --Where NNNNNNNNNNNN specify a RTL8139

                                  adapter's node address.This is only

                                  required when more than one RTL8139

                                  adapters exist on one system.

          ]





           FRAME Ethernet_802.2 --Specify frame type

           FRAME Ethernet_802.3

           FRAME Ethernet_SNAP

           FRAME Ethernet_II



         NetWare DOS Requester

           FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F

           NETWARE PROTOCOL = NDS BIND

           PREFERRED SERVER = NW411





   Setup Procedures for NetWare 3.11/3.12 Client :

   -----------------------------------------------

      Before you start with the installation process, make sure that

      the  adapter is properly installed and configured. Make sure

      that your NetWare workstation is properly installed.



      1. Copy  RTSODI.COM from the Realtek Driver Diskette subdirectory

         A:\NWCLIENT to your harddisk.



      2. Create a batch file, or add to your STARTNET.BAT file the commands

         listed above under STARTNET.BAT



      3. Edit the NET.CFG file that you copied over. Edit the file per your

         requirements (see examples above).  If there are two frame types

         listed, whichever frame type is listed first, that is the one that

         the  driver will load.  See above for examples.  The NET.CFG file

         should be in the same directory with the LSL.COM file.





   Setup Procedures for NetWare 4.X Client with vlm:

   -----------------------------------------------

      The  installation utility  INSTALL.EXE  is  located on NetWare's

      "Workstation for DOS" disk. Run INSTALL.EXE from the Workstation

      for DOS Disk.



      The NetWare Client Install program screen will appear.  You must

      complete each of the questions.  These options are specific to your

      needs.



      1. Enter the destination directory for the NetWare Client.

         (The default directory is C:\NWCLIENT).



      2. Gives you the option to automatically update the CONFIG.SYS

         and the AUTOEXEC.BAT files or modify them at a later time

         manually.



      3. Do you wish to install support for MS Windows ? (Y/N)

         (MS Windows Subdirectory: default C:\WINDOWS)



      4. Asks you to select a network driver and provide  configuration

         options.  It uses  the specifications you select to create the

         file NET.CFG. Insert the Realtek drivers disk when prompted for

         the driver disk and specify the driver path A:\NWCLIENT\DOS



      5. Press <Enter> to install





   NOTE:

   -----

      1. Be sure to add LASTDRIVE=Z to your CONFIG.SYS file for the

         network mappings to work properly.



      2. When you have multiple RTL8139 Adapters on your system:

         Use "BUSNO" and "DEVICENO" KEYWORD in NET.CFG to select which

         adapter to use with your netware client.(or you can use "EtherID")
